A system and method for regulating the pressure of airflow that is delivered to an air compressor based on an operating state of the air compressor. According to certain embodiments in which the air compressor is part of an engine system having an engine, the regulation of the pressure of the airflow that is delivered to the air compressor is independent of an engine load placed on the engine. A pressure control device may be adapted to adjust the pressure of the airflow that is to be compressed by the air compressor to a first pressure when the air compressor is operating in a loaded compressor operating state, and a second pressure when the air compressor is operating in an unloaded compressor operating state. Further, the first pressure may be greater than the second pressure, and the second pressure may be slightly above zero bar. |
