This invention relates to a method and system for controlling a compressor in a refrigerant circuit of an air-conditioning system of a motor vehicle. The instantaneous load torque is determined and compared with a maximum limiting torque prescribed by an engine controller. The compressor is then controlled based on the comparison value resulting from this analysis. To prevent complete shutdown of the compressor, the instantaneous load torque is represented as a function of variables such as compressor speed and high pressure of the refrigerant. An inverted function belonging to this representation is used to determine a control signal for the compressor, which is employed to manage its operation effectively.
