Abstract
In a method for operating a compressor (22) having an inlet (26) and an outlet (28), the method includes: running the compressor to compress a fluid; shutting down (422) the compressor; determining (420) a condition-dependent threshold restart pressure difference (threshold) across the compressor; relieving the pressure difference to reach the threshold; and, after the threshold is reached, restarting (434) the compressor.
