Abstract
A compressor system for a vehicle includes a compressor driven by a drive motor of the vehicle and a suction air conduit for supplying air that has already been precompressed by a turbocharger of the drive motor to the compressor. A mechanism is disposed in the suction air guide for reducing the flow cross-section. The mechanism is able to limit the charging pressure of the already precompressed air supplied to the compressor. A method for controlling a compressor system having a turbocharged compressor limits a charging pressure of the already precompressed air to an adjustable maximum value.
