Compressor System and Method for Operating a Compessor System

摘要

A compressor system and a method for operating a compressor system is provided. The system includes an air compressor and a planetary gear train having an input shaft connected to a planetary carrier of the gear train and an output shaft connected the compressor and a sun gear of the gear train. A first switchable fixing device fixes one of means of which the planet carrier, the sun gear and a ring gear of the gear train with respect to an outer support, and a second switchable fixing device fixes relative to one another the two of components not fixed by the first switchable fixing device of the planetary gear train.
