4.3.4. Part-load control


<BR>

Fig. 4.4: Op. diagram of part-load control
The volume control of the compressor is adjusted to the respective requirement for compressed air.

The network pressure pN is largely constant due to the variable output control. The fluctuations of pN vary depending on the method of part-load control used.

The part-load control method is used with systems with small storage capacities and/or heavy consumption fluctuations. The number of cycles drops.
