Abstract
Piston compressors and methods for operating a piston compressor for a motor vehicle, in particular an air spring piston compressor of an air suspension system or compressed-air sensor cleaning system of the motor vehicle. A compressor piston is driven inside a compressor cylinder, at least indirectly, by a drive shaft of a drive motor rotatable about a rotary axis in at least one rotation direction. A control device of the drive motor reverses the rotation direction of the drive motor when the drive motor is started according to at least one definable rotation direction parameter.
Claims15
A method for operating a piston compressor for an air spring piston compressor of an air suspension system or compressed-air sensor cleaning system of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- driving a compressor piston inside a compressor cylinder, at least indirectly, by a drive shaft of a drive motor rotatable about a rotary axis in at least one rotation direction;
- and
- reversing, via a control device of the drive motor, the rotation direction of the drive motor when the drive motor is started according to at least one definable rotation direction parameter.
A piston compressor for an air spring compressor of an air suspension system or compressed-air sensor cleaning system of a motor vehicle, the piston compressor comprising:
- at least one compressor piston movable inside a compressor cylinder, the compressor cylinder being drivable at least indirectly by a drive shaft of a drive motor rotatable about a rotary axis in at least one rotation direction;
- and
- at least one control device configured to reverse the rotation direction of the drive motor when the drive motor is started according to at least one definable rotation direction parameter.
