FlowMachine means Compressor, Expander, and Pump.

Set the basic configuration of a component.

Parameters:

  • name (string) – name of the component to be configured, must be the same as in the config dictionary or file.

  • config (string or dictionary) – if it is a string it must be the filename with a yaml or json file with the dictionary information. All needed basic parameters or default parameters and calculation type are set here. Check the io_utils.py file for typical values.

  • **kwargs (dictionary) – any further parameters which may be needed.

Return type:

None.
