Abstract
A flow rate control apparatus calculates a resistance flow rate, which is a flow rate of a fluid flowing through the fluid resistor, based on a first pressure measured by a first pressure sensor and a second pressure measured by a second pressure sensor, converts the resistance flow rate to a first valve flow rate, which is the flow rate of the fluid passing through a first valve, based on the first pressure, converts the resistance flow rate to a second valve flow rate, which is the flow rate of the fluid passing through a second valve, based on the second pressure, controls the first valve so that the deviation between a first set flow rate and the first valve flow rate becomes small, and controls the second valve so that the deviation between a second set flow rate and the second valve flow rate becomes small.
