5 results about "Compressor map" patented technology

A compressor map is a chart created for a compressor in a gas turbine engine. Complete maps are based on compressor rig test results or predicted by a special computer program. Alternatively the map of a similar compressor can be suitably scaled.

Control system for a turbocharger driven based on a compressor map

A method for controlling a variable supercharger (501) for an engine system (500), comprising: Pressurizing an intake air (510) by a compressor (508) of the variable supercharger (501), Driving the variable supercharger (501) with a gearbox (522), Receiving, at a control unit (530), a desired first condition for the intake air (510) from the engine system (500), Calculating, at the control unit (530), a second state of the intake air (510) from the operating speed of the engine system (500) and from operating conditions of the engine system (500) corresponding to the desired first state, Determining a desired compressor speed (536) corresponding to the desired first state and the second state of the intake air (510) from a compressor map (540), Switching the transmission (522) to drive the compressor (508) to the desired compressor speed (536) to provide the desired first intake air condition (510) to the engine system (500), wherein the first state of the intake air (510) is a boost pressure (132) of the intake air (510) and the second state of the intake air (510) is a mass flow rate of the intake air (510).

Mass air flow sensor failure detection and management in aviation

A method and system of detecting mass air flow (MAF) sensor failure on an aircraft includes at least one signal from a non-MAF sensor received by a controller of a fuel cell system having at least one MAF sensor. The signal received by the controller is analyzed relative to a compressor map to estimate mass air flow. A MAF sensor failure is detected based on the estimated mass air flow. When a MAF sensor failure is detected, a safe operating mode of the fuel cell system may be activated to provide adequate power for operation of the aircraft to a safe landing while minimizing risk of damage to the fuel cell system.

Methods and systems of compressor control with surge avoidance and response

Methods and systems for surge control in a compressor system. A recirculation valve position may be actuated in response to identified conditions of potential surge, determined from a compressor map. Recirculation valve position may be controlled by calculating distance of current operating state to a surge line and using proportional integral control to manage the distance. Compressor speed command may be derated in response to identified surge, determined from one of speed fluctuations of the compressor speed, or variance of a compressor speed tracking error.
