Abstract:
The embodiments herein discloses a linear seal system for interconnecting flow controller modules in a fluid flow controller. The system comprises a flow sensing module is coupled to an inlet connection module to measure a fluid flow rate to generate a sensor output signal. A flow control valve module is coupled to the flow sensing module to provide a user desired flow rate through an outlet connection module. An electronic control system is configured to regulate an operation of the flow sensing module and the flow control valve module based on the command signal to achieve a desired flow rate. A linear track system provided to support all the modules in a linear arrangement, includes a dovetail locking configuration. The linear track has two rod/screws to compress the seals between the modules.
