Abstract
The present embodiments provide a system having a motor, a compressor having 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 disengage the clutch if the pressure of the gas in the compressor meets or exceeds a first threshold pressure.
