Abstract

A method for controlling compressed air sent to pneumatic systems. The method includes acquiring a set of performance demands for each of a plurality of pneumatic systems in a platform, where the performance demands indicate needs for the compressed air supplied to each of the pneumatic systems, identifying a maximum allowable air discharge temperature limit of a variable speed air compressor configured to supply compressed air to the pneumatic systems, and controlling an operation of the compressor to supply the compressed air to the pneumatic systems to meet the acquired performance demands for at least one of the pneumatic systems while operating the compressor below the maximum allowable air discharge temperature limit.
