A concentration control system has been granted a patent (Publication Number: US11906984B2) that includes a flow rate control device, a partial pressure measurement device, an observer with a model estimating the gas state in a chamber, and a controller setting the flow rate based on input parameters. The system ensures the gas flow rate matches the set flow rate, measures the partial pressure inside the chamber, estimates the gas state, and adjusts the flow rate accordingly.

Furthermore, the system includes a model simulating the conductance of an exhaust flow path, a fixed exhaust valve, and an observer gain H for accurate estimation. The partial pressure measurement device is an NDIR analyzer, and the model accounts for delays in measurement output. The concentration control method and program recording medium also detail the process of inputting parameters, estimating the gas state, and setting the flow rate based on the estimated partial pressure. Overall, the patented system provides a comprehensive solution for controlling gas concentration in a chamber efficiently and accurately.
