Abstract:
1. A control system for estimating performance of a compressor, comprising: a compressor fluidly connected to an inlet manifold of a power source and being configured to receive a mixed flow of air and exhaust; a power source speed sensor associated with an output of the power source and being configured to provide an indication of a rotational speed of the power source; an inlet pressure sensor associated with the inlet manifold and being configured to provide an indication of a pressure of a fluid within the inlet manifold; an inlet temperature sensor associated with the inlet manifold of the power source and being configured to provide an indication of a temperature of the fluid within the inlet manifold; an atmospheric pressure sensor configured to provide an indication of an atmospheric pressure; and a control module in communication with the power source speed sensor, inlet pressure sensor, inlet temperature sensor, and atmospheric pressure sensor, the control module being configured to:
