Publication number: 20230332591Abstract: Provided is an air compressor that suppresses a rise in delivery temperature due to a change in atmospheric pressure, and consequently improves the life of parts. The air compressor 1 includes a motor 2, a compressor main body 3 driven by the motor 2 to compress air, a delivery pressure sensor 12 that senses a delivery pressure of the compressor main body 3, an atmospheric pressure sensor 13 that senses an atmospheric pressure, and a controller 15. The controller 15 compares the delivery pressure sensed by the delivery pressure sensor 12 with a set pressure, and performs operation control based on a result of the comparison. The controller 15 corrects the set pressure such that a ratio between the atmospheric pressure sensed by the atmospheric pressure sensor 13 and the set pressure becomes a set value set in advance.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2021Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Yuuji ITOU, Toshiaki YABE, Kohei SAKAI, Takashi NAKAJIMA
