Abstract:
1. A flux control apparatus, comprising: an outlet pressure detector that detects an outlet pressure of a fluid at an outlet of a fluid flow apparatus driven by a drive source for feeding the fluid from an inlet of the fluid flow apparatus and letting the fluid flow out from the outlet of the fluid flow apparatus; a drive amount detector that detects an amount of drive of the drive source; an ambient temperature detector that detects an ambient temperature of the fluid flow apparatus; an estimated flux-calculating apparatus that calculates a flux of the fluid flowing from the fluid flow apparatus as an estimated flux on the basis of the pressure of the fluid and the amount of drive detected by the outlet pressure detector and the drive amount detector respectively; a correcting apparatus that corrects the estimated flux calculated by the estimated flux-calculating apparatus on the basis of the ambient temperature detected by the ambient temperature detector; a control amount-calculating apparatus that calculates an amount of control for the fluid flow apparatus on the basis of the estimated flux calculated by the estimated flux-calculating apparatus and a target flux; and a control apparatus that controls the drive source on the basis of the amount of control calculated by the control amount-calculating apparatus.
