  • Patent number: 11493033
    Abstract: An air compressor system includes a motor operably connected to an air compressor, a separator tank fluidly connected to the air compressor by a supply line, a compressed air line coupled to the separator tank, a service valve connected to the compressed air line and positioned downstream of the separator tank, and a controller in operable communication with the motor, wherein in response to the controller detecting the motor operating at an idle speed, the controller reduces the motor speed to a low idle speed and reduces pressure in the separator tank, the low idle speed being slower than the idle speed.
