Abstract: A method for operating a pressure control system having a multistage compressor. The method comprises providing a pressure medium compressed multiple times by the multistage compressor in order to fill a pressure medium reservoir or pressure medium chambers of the pressure control system, by performing (i) providing, by a first compression stage, a precompressed pressure medium and additionally compressing the precompressed pressure medium via a second compression stage, and/or (ii) introducing, into an intermediate volume between the first compression stage and the second compression stage of the multistage compressor, an already compressed charge pressure medium and compressing, by the second compression stage, the charge pressure medium again. An intermediate pressure of the precompressed pressure medium conveyed into the intermediate volume is limited by an overpressure valve interacting with the first compression stage.

Abstract: A compressor for a compressed-air feed of a compressed-air supply installation, for operating a pneumatic installation, includes: a first compression space; a second compression space; an air feed port; a compressed-air outlet; and a piston having a first face side, which is subjectable to pressure and which is directed toward the first compression space, and a second face side, situated opposite the first face side, which is subjectable to pressure and which is directed toward the second compression space, the first compression space being delimited by the first face side and the second compression space being delimited by the second face side. The first face side includes a full side and the second face side includes a step side. The piston is attached via a connecting rod to a drive. The first compression space and the second compression space are connected to one another via a connecting line.
