  • Publication number: 20210054836
    Abstract: A method for actuating a compressor system in order to set a measured operating pressure, which serves as a measure for the operating pressure that the compressor system supplies to a user network at a flow rate demanded by a user network, to a desired operating pressure . The compressor system includes a compressor element with an inlet and an outlet, and where the compressor element is driven by a drive, where the compressor system is provided with a way for throttling the inlet of the compressor element. As long as an operating pressure, selected from the measured operating pressure and the desired operating pressure, is higher than the without the way for throttling the inlet maximum obtainable operating pressure for the compressor system, the inlet is throttled by the way for throttling the inlet for at least a specific percentage greater than zero.
