Air compressor controls, together with electronic control equipment, help to minimise energy use and costs by selecting and engaging a combination of compressors that must operate near full load. Controls are applied directly to compressors, as well as to other parts of the system.
The most appropriate controls for a particular compressor depend on the compressor type and the typical operating load.1 2
Compressors should be managed to work primarily in their ranges of maximum operating efficiency, which varies among compressor types.3
