Abstract:
1. A system, comprising: a motor; a compressor comprising a compression device configured to increase a pressure of a gas; a clutch configured to selectively transfer torque from the motor to the compressor to drive the compression device; and a controller configured to monitor feedback indicative of the pressure of the gas in the compressor, wherein the controller is configured to perform a first control action configured to reduce the possibility of overpressurization of the compressor if the pressure of the gas in the compressor meets or exceeds a first threshold pressure and a second control action configured to reduce the possibility of overpressurization of the compressor if the pressure of the gas in the compressor meets or exceeds a second threshold pressure, wherein the first and second control actions are different, and the first and second pressures are different.
