Abstract
A gas compressor inhibits a supply delay of a compressed gas at a time of a return from no-load operation to load operation, and also reduces the consumed motive power. A controller switches between load operation and no-load operation by controlling a suction throttle valve according to a sensed delivery-side pressure, and also controls a rotation speed of an electric motor that drives the compressor. The controller is configured to compute a capacity C of an air supply system that supplies a compressed air generated by the air compressor to a use location of the compressed gas on a basis of load operation duration t1 and no-load operation duration t2, and set a target rotation speed of the electric motor at a time of no-load operation on a basis of the capacity C of the air supply system.
