Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for effectively reducing/eliminating shut-downs while still allowing an air or gas dryer apparatus to operate even though the conditions, even extreme conditions, may be out of range. The present invention comprises a system and apparatus controlling a variable speed compressor system for an air or gas dryer, the system and apparatus comprising a set point value that causes system shut down when reached and an algorithm that operates using the set point value. A sensor that provides an input value to the algorithm whereupon the algorithm compares the input value to the set point value, a circuit carrying output of the algorithm, a controlled device responding to the output and a feedback circuit that operates to maintain a product value at a set point or within a set range where the algorithm operating to modulate or bypass the feedback circuit when the input value approaches the set point.
