Patent ID: 11773855

Abstract:
In order to reduce operation in a rotation-prohibited frequency range and to prevent resonance in a gas compressor wherein inverter control is performed, this gas compressor has: a compressor main body that compresses a gas; a motor that rotationally drives the compressor main body; an inverter that changes the rotational speed of the motor; a check valve arranged downstream from the compressor main body; a pressure detection means that detects load-side pressure downstream from the check valve; and a control device that, in accordance with the pressure detected by the pressure detection means, controls the frequency output by the inverter. The control device performs a control whereby compressed gas having a prescribed pressure is generated/maintained by increasing/decreasing the frequency, and when the frequency that generates the compressed gas having the prescribed pressure includes a specific frequency, the inverter's output frequency is increased or decreased when the pressure detected by the pressure detection means reaches a pressure corresponding to a frequency that has a more constant pressure width than the prescribed pressure and does not include the specific frequency.
