The embodiment of compressor set 100 is used for, in various facility and industry, comprising automobile industry, electron trade, space flight industry, oil and natural gas industry, power industry, petrochemical industry etc.In one embodiment, axle 128 transmits the power from driver element 126, to rotate the first impeller 110 and the second impeller 112.The rotation of the first impeller 110 can suck working fluid (such as, air) by entrance 102.In the first order 106, the first impeller 110 compression working fluid.Compression working fluid flows in the first diffuser assembly 114, and the first diffuser assembly 114 allows working fluid to expand before working fluid enters the second level 108.In the second level 108, the compression and expansion that working fluid experience is produced by the second impeller 112 and the second diffuser assembly 116 respectively.In one embodiment, compressor set 100 can be connected by industrial pipeline at outlet 104 place, to discharge working fluid like that as desired under stress and/or under the stream parameter of some regulation.
The example of diffuser stator 118,120 can move (such as, rotating) to another position (such as, the second place) from a position (such as, primary importance), and vice versa.The mobile diffuser stator 118,120 that allows between the first position and the second position aligns with the direction of working fluid stream.This feature avoid the flow point on the surface of working fluid and diffuser stator 118,120 from.
Flow sensor 122,124 monitors the direction of the working fluid stream of the upstream of diffuser stator 118,120.Along with the flow direction changes, such as, due to the change of the operation of compressor set 100, flow sensor 122 will produce signal.The example of signal conveys a message to indicate and flow to relevant scope, direction and other characteristic.Controller 132 can process this signal, and responsively, produces the position exporting to diffuser stator 118,120 and apply change.In one example, export and encode to the instruction of mobile actuator 134,136, this makes again diffuser stator 118,120 change position, such as, becomes the second place from primary importance.
As shown in Fig. 2, compressor set 100 can form a part for system 130 (being also " control system 130 "), and system 130 can at the run duration of compressor set 100 independent of each other and the operation changing the first diffuser assembly 114 and the second diffuser assembly 116 is arranged.System 130 comprises controller 132, and it connects with flow sensor 122,124 and connects with actuator (such as, the first actuator 134 and the second actuator 136).The example of actuator 134,136 changes the position of the first diffuser stator 118 and the second diffuser stator 120 respectively.In one embodiment, controller 132 (and/or other devices one or more in system 130) is communicated by network 138 and peripheral unit 140 (such as, display device, computer, smart mobile phone, notebook, panel computer etc.) and/or external server 142.

In one embodiment, the first signal (such as, in step 202 place) and secondary signal (such as, in step 204 place) indicate the position of first-class sensor and second sensor.In order to illustrate, Fig. 4 describes the perspective view of the example of the diffuser assembly 300 be used in compressor set (such as, compressor set 100 (Fig. 1)).Diffuser assembly 300 comprises diffuser stator 302 and the flow sensor 304 in diffuser stator 302 upstream.In one example, flow sensor 304 has seat element 306 and directed element 308, and directed element 308 is arranged in the path of working fluid stream F.Diffuser stator forms stator body 310, and it has leading edge 312 and trailing edge 314.Chord length L limits the crow flight distance between leading edge 312 and trailing edge 314.Stator body 310 forms aerodynamic shape (such as, airfoil), and it has the suction side surface 316 and pressure side surface 318 that identify relative to the stream orientation of F and the angle of attack about leading edge 312.At leading edge 312 place, stator body 310 converges to end 320.
Flow sensor 304 is removable, and in one example, directed element 308 rotates relative to seat element 306, to indicate the direction of stream F.The example of seat element 306 can be fixed on the component of diffuser assembly 300.Other structure (such as, spiral case) that these components can comprise wall member, frame parts and flow sensor 304 can be positioned in working fluid stream.Such as, stream seat element 306 can be arranged in hole and/or the counterbore of this structure, to be positioned in flow path by directed element 308.The example of seat element 306 can comprise pin and/or receive other load-carrying unit of directed element 308.Pin is used as pivot, and directed element 308 freely can rotate around it.When being placed in the path of stream F, directed element 308 aligns with the direction of stream F.In one example, seat element 306 can comprise rotary potentiometer and/or other similar device of the displacement that can take measurement of an angle.Rotary potentiometer can connect with directed element 308, to record the change in location of directed element 308 in response to the direction of stream F.
With reference to Fig. 5, between an implementation period, compressor set can run into and make stream F along many different directions (such as, first-class to F1 and second to F2) flowing.Directed element 308 presents one in first sensor position 322 and the second sensing station 324, and this corresponds respectively to first-class to F1 and second to F2.In one example, flow sensor 304 can record the change of the position of directed element 308, such as, and the change between first sensor position 322 and the second sensing station 324.
The example of the first signal and/or secondary signal can be encoded to the information of the mark position of directed element 308 and/or the relative change of position.In one example, the first signal and secondary signal can be encoded to each the angular orientation in first sensor position 322 and the second sensing station 324.The example of angular orientation can utilize the radial scale of covering 360 °, and wherein primary importance 322 and the second place 324 present different values on radial scale, and such as, primary importance 322 is 0 ° and the second place 324 is 300 °.In other example, the first signal and secondary signal can be encoded to each the angular deflection in first sensor position 322 and the second sensing station 324.Angular deflection can limit first sensor position 322 and the second sensing station 324 relative to the value on radial scale that is fixing or home position skew, such as, and radial values.For the present exemplary of Fig. 5, the radial values of first sensor position 322 is 0 and/or 0 °, and the radial values of the second sensing station 324 is-30 and/or-30 °.
