    General

    Component 159 represents a map-based compressor which models its flow rate vs. pressure rise vs. rotational speed behaviour. The component tries to use the maps from the manufacturer directly without much manual conversion by the user. Maps can be imported via an importer tool, which allows to manually convert a compressor map image to a compressor map table.

    The compressor map is represented by (X,Y,Z,EFF) data points with various options for X,Y,Z,EFF. The calculation modes allow to calculate any of X,Y,Z from the two others.

    In order to derive the correct dimensionless reduced flow and reduced speed, if used in the settings, it is necessary to set the correct reference properties MW_REF, T_REF, P_REF, Z_REF, K_REF.

    If the map is given in terms of mach numbers, it is necessary to set the dimensions DIN and DIMP, in order to be able to calculate actual mach numbers

    If the efficiency and pressure rise are given as total to static, it is necessary to set the outlet diameter DOUT, in order to convert between total and static properties.

    If performance factors are activated, the following relationships are used:

    EFF = EFF_from_map_lookup * PFEFF (FCALC=1,2,3)
    X = X_from_map_lookup * PFX (FCALC=2)
    Z = Z_from_map_lookup * PFZ (FCALC=1)
    X_used_in_map = X / PFX (FCALC=1,3)
    Z_used_in_map = Z / PFZ (FCALC=2,3)
