Compressor controls will run the compressor at varying loads to accommodate demand variations. Running a compressor at less than full load results in a drop in compressor efficiency and thus an increase in operating costs.

The air compressor continues to run and air supply is matched to the demand by partial unloading. This can be accomplished by a regulator controlled floating inlet or by step unloading.

The process of modifying some characteristic of a wave (the carrier) so that it varies in step with the instantaneous value of another wave (the modulating wave) in order to transmit a message. The modified characteristic may be frequency, phase, and/or a ...
