COMPRESSORS)
CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL. This type of control applies to gasoline
engine compressors.
When the receiver tank pressure reaches the factory preset maximum
pressure, the unloader slows down the engine and the compressor
stops pumping. When the receiver tank pressure drops to the factory
preset minimum, the unloader resets, the engine returns to full speed,
and the compressor resumes pumping.
