  • Patent number: 5368019
    Abstract: The system and method for operating an AC respirator compressor system at substantially subnormal line voltages includes a compressor, an accumulator, a solenoid unload or dump valve used to reduce the pressure at the outlet of the compressor, a check valve located downstream from the solenoid, a relief valve, a pressure sensor, and an AC voltage sensor. In a preferred embodiment, the compressor constantly supplies compressed air to the ventilator system, monitoring the accumulator pressure and activating the solenoid unload valve as required to maintain an acceptable range of pressure in the accumulator. In another preferred embodiment the compressor system can also be operated in an intermittent, or standby mode, to supply compressed air as needed.
