8.4 Capacity Control System

8.4.1 Load-Unload Operation (Only for Fixed Speed Type)
The unloading process occurs when the compressed air
demand decreases and the discharge pressure rises as
high as cut-out pressure. The pressure sensor (PS)
detects the high pressure and energizes the 3-way solenoid
valve (20Ux), changing its port to port connection. The
control air is now flowing to and pressurizing chamber
(A) of the suction throttle valve (STV), consequently
closing the suction throttle valve (STV) and unloading the

The loading process occurs when the compressed air
demand increases and the discharge pressure dropped as
low as cut-in pressure. The pressure sensor (PS) detects
the low pressure and 3-way solenoid valve (20Ux), suction
throttle valve (STV), and blowoff valve work in reverse
action and the airend reloads.
