METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR STARTING

摘要

Systems and methods of the invention may overcome a higher than normal starting torque for in a reciprocating, electric motor driven air compressor for a vehicle. A detection component can be configured to detect a stall condition for a reciprocating compressor based on a force from compressed air being compressed into a reservoir of the reciprocating compressor. Based upon the detected stall condition, a controller can reverse direction or increase torque to alleviate the stall condition. In the reverse direction mode, the controller component can change a direction of a piston rotation. In the torque increase mode, the controller increases a number of poles for the motor, a line voltage, or a volt/hertz.
