The present disclosure describes a load/unload control method for a compressor system with a rotating compressor connected to a pressure vessel. In the method, the present operating state can be monitored on the basis of a monitored/estimated electrical quantity of the compressor system, The method comprises an identification phase and an operational phase. In the identification phase, the compressor is operated at a constant rotational speed to generate two known pressures to the pressure vessel. At least one electrical quantity is monitored, and values of the electrical quantity corresponding to the pressure limits are stored. In the operational phase, reaching of a pressure limit may then be detected by comparing the present value of the monitored electrical quantity to the stored values.

A method controls the start-up of an oil pump of a gearbox by a brushless electric motor that has no position sensor. The stator coils are powered from the off mode in a constant-current open-loop control sequence until the pump reaches a speed threshold at which speed regulation switches over to closed-loop control on a setpoint corresponding to the lubrication flow rate required to ensure the reliability of the gearbox, but without in so doing exceeding a current threshold indicative of pump seizure, at which point motor control switches back over to the constant-current open-loop control sequence. The open-loop current setpoint is higher than the threshold for switching over to closed-loop control so that in the open-loop control mode the motor torque available at the pump is higher than in the closed-loop control mode.
