Claim Text:
1. A method of controlling an operating temperature of an air compressor, the method comprising: compressing by a compressor element a mixture of air and oil and supplying it to an oil separator; separating in the oil separator the air and the oil from one another; supplying oil to an oil circulating pipe for the purpose of returning it to the compressor element and supplying at least some of the oil flowing in the oil circulating pipe to a cooling assembly when necessary; controlling the operating temperature of the compressor by the amount of oil to be supplied to the cooling assembly; processing data to minimize or eliminate condensation in a compressed air circuit of said air compressor, said data including information about the operating temperature; providing an external command based, at least in part, on said processed data; and minimizing or eliminating condensation in the compressed air circuit, wherein said minimizing or eliminating includes changing a dimension of a control member to regulate the amount of oil to be supplied to the cooling assembly by a thermostatic valve with said external command as necessary, wherein the changing the dimension of the control member includes changing a temperature of an expansion material using the external command.
