Once the working pressure is reached, the compressor stops and surplus air in the
compressor pump and delivery pipe is discharged through the centrifugal discharge device.
During air consumption, pressure falls in the pressure vessel and when the lower limit is
reached, the electric motor turns on again. The performance is controlled automatically
after the compressor is started up by means of the periodic starting and stopping of the
compressor.
The regular running time is 20 minutes and the downtime is 5 minutes (in order to avoid
overheating).
