Biosflows FAC-320 Analog Mass Flow Controller and Meters Principle
Sensor Schematic
The core sensor of the thermal mass flow meter (MFM) is the principle of capillary thermal temperature difference, which is composed of a stainless steel capillary with a thermal sensor and a heating element. A part of the gas flows through the bypass sensor and is heated by the heating element. The gas flow causes an asymmetrical temperature distribution, which is proportional to the mass flow through the sensor.
MFC Structure Diagram
The main flow channel of the thermal mass flow controller (MFC) is perfectly shunted by the laminar flow element, so that the output of the sensor has a linear relationship with the total mass flow. The output signal of the sensor is amplified and compared with the signal set by the user, the opening of the solenoid valve is controlled by the PID algorithm, the flow is adjusted, and the closed-loop control of the mass flow is realized.

Features of FAC-300 Analog Series Mass flow Controller and Meters
Long-term Stability and Accuracy
Long-term zero-point stability with less than 0.2% of full-scale variation per year; excellent signal-to-noise ratio performance for high accuracy at low setpoints, and excellent long-term stability through improved sensor manufacturing and burn-in testing processes.
Respond Quickly to User Setting
The combination of capillary chip sensor technology with frictionless valve technology and electronic technology enables the product according to customer’s command to respond quickly to command changes and overshoot (negligible undershoot).
Resistant to Toxic and Corrosive Gases
The capillary thermal temperature difference sensor effectively isolates the erosion of corrosive gases. The substrate of FAC-300 Massflow Controller is made of 316L stainless steel, and the chemical corrosion-resistant valve has super adaptability to toxic and corrosive gases.
Easy to Install and Use
The detachable flow sensor is used, so there is no need for monitoring and readjustment of the air pressure, and it is not affected by the installation angle. Since the analog quantity is only input/output, it is compatible with other MFC in terms of mechanical and electrical design.
Application of FAC-300 Analog Series Mass flow Controller and Meters
Plasma Equipment Gas Control Applications
The plasma section requires accurate, repeatable gas flow, while the optical section requires a reproducible purge gas flow. Furthermore, the gas delivery device needs to be compact and preferably as low cost as possible. Mass flow controllers produce accurate and repeatable flow in the range of 1.5 SLM to 20 SLM. Accuracy is essential for the contents of the reactor to have the correct composition. Welcome to Inquiry in Biosflow to get free quotation.
Gas supply system in brewing process
Before any type of flow control solution, the process was limited to controlling the flow of oxygen into the system by opening a valve and then timing the flow of oxygen into the brewing vessel. This rough estimate can lead to inconsistent beer quality from batch to batch. Using mass flow controllers to deliver exactly the required amount of oxygen into the brewing vessel, this solution improves the product quality and further reduces wasted manual excess oxygen and the cost of cleaning and sampling time.
Application of diamond preparation process
One of the common methods used for the production of diamond thin films is the hot wire vapor deposition technique, with mass flow controllers to ensure proper gas volume and process repeatability; since the flammability and explosiveness of process gases are safety concerns and must be closely controlled and monitored. Thermal mass flow controllers play an integral role in these applications or any other growth process involving vapor-phase grown diamond.
