Abstract
A method is for operating a compressed air system in a vehicle. The compressed air system has pneumatically operated actuators, switchable pneumatic valves and devices for supplying and preparing compressed air, which are connected to one another via a pneumatic line system. The devices for supplying compressed air include a compressed air source and a compressed air store, and in the line system a pressure sensor is provided for measuring the pressure. An algorithm is programmed such that depending on the difference between the pressure in the compressed air store and the pressure in the line system, pneumatic valves are actuated to connect the compressed air store to the line system only after pressure equalization between the pressure in the compressed air store and the pressure in the line system. During pressure equalization, compressed air from the source and/or the actuators or devices is introduced into the line system.
