AIR COMPRESSOR

摘要

An air compressor includes an internal combustion engine for driving an air compressing part that generates compressed air, which is stored in an air-storage tank. At a point in time when the air pressure inside the air-storage tank has increased to a first set pressure, the supply of fuel to the engine is cut off, thereby stopping the engine and the combustion of fuel. At a point in time when the air pressure inside the air-storage tank has decreased from the first set pressure to a second set pressure, a starter motor is started up to resume the operation of the engine.

主权项

1. An air compressor, comprising:
an internal combustion engine serving as a motive-power source; an air-compressing part operated by the engine and configured to generate compressed air; an air-storage tank configured to store the compressed air discharged from the air-compressing part; a pressure-detecting part configured to detect the air pressure inside the air-storage tank; and a control apparatus configured to:
cut off the supply of fuel to the internal combustion engine, such that the engine stops when the air pressure inside the air-storage tank, as detected by the pressure-detecting part, has increased to a first set pressure P1; andrestart the internal combustion engine when the air pressure inside the air-storage tank has decreased from the first set pressure P1 to a second set pressure P2.
