Abstract
An electronic air compressor control system and method including an actuator connected to an air compressor for regulating the loading and unloading of the air compressor based on predetermined conditions, a power supply electrically connected to the actuator for supplying a voltage thereto and a plurality of switches electrically coupled to the actuator and power supply for controlling the supply of voltage from the power supply to the actuator in order to control the operation of the air compressor based on a predetermined air compressor exhaust temperature threshold and minimum and maximum pressure thresholds. The unloading and loading of the air compressor is based on a predetermined air compressor exhaust temperature when the pressure within the wet tank is between the minimum pressure threshold and the maximum pressure threshold.
