Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4027016A1] The present invention is directed to a method for regulating the speed of a compressor/vacuum element, said method comprising the steps of:- starting the compressor/vacuum element (1);- regulating the pressure within the compressor/vacuum element (1) by adjusting the volume of fluid flowing between a process channel (4) and the compressor/vacuum element (1) relative to the difference between the pressure value within said compressor/vacuum element (1) and a preset pressure value;characterized in that the method further comprises the steps of:- connecting the compressor/vacuum element (1) to a process channel (4) after the speed of the compressor/vacuum element (1) reaches a preset speed value; and- adjusting the speed of the compressor/vacuum element (1) such that the power of the compressor/vacuum element (1) is maintained at a relatively constant value.
