Compressor and method for controlling a compressor for supplying compressed air to a utility vehicle

[0037] The same reference numerals denote the same or similar type of components in the following drawings.

[0038] figure 1 A simplified schematic diagram of a motor vehicle 12 with a compressor 10 is shown. The delivery vehicle 12 is driven by a drive engine 20 . The drive engine 20 drives the compressor 10 via a transmission 26 , which draws in air from an air filter 24 and supplies compressed air to a compressed air supply 22 . The transmission 26 has a gear ratio i less than one and a drive shaft speed n equal to the engine speed 驱动 Greater than the driven shaft speed n which is the same as the compressor speed 输出 . As a result, the compressor speed and the engine speed differ by a fixed factor i. The drive engine 20 , the transmission 26 and the compressor 10 driven by the drive engine 20 through the transmission 26 together constitute a system. Typical transmission ratios in which it is particularly preferred to use the compressor according to the invention are b...
