Abstract: A method for regulating a turbocompressor to prevent surge, is described. The method comprises the following steps: providing at least one surge limit line of turbocompressor; continuously determining an actual value of a corrected speed of the turbocompressor; continuously determining at least a maximum admissible pressure ratio on the surge limit line, corresponding to the actual value of the corrected speed; continuously determining an actual pressure ratio; acting upon an antisurge arrangement, if the actual pressure ratio is equal to or higher than the maximum admissible pressure ratio.
