Abstract
A method for controlling or regulating a compressor,that can be switched on and off on demand, wherein a control unit,that switches the compressor,on and off is provided with the compressor. In a method of this type, it must be ensured that the compressor,is not damaged due to overheating. This is attained due to the fact that the control unit,operates the compressor,continuously during a regulating process until a limiting value is reached, and that said control unit operates the compressor in a cyclic manner once the limiting value is reached. This method makes it possible to complete regulating processes even if a critical limiting value is already reached.
