Hi All,
In the power plant that i work have two instrument air compressors ,the problem is that they start and stop very frequently the starting pressure is 5 bar and the unloading pressure is 7 bar so that diff of 2 bar.while investigating the problem i found that when the compressor start unloading at 7 bar it drop to 6 bar rapid and slowly drop to 5 bar to start the cycle again.
This is what i suggest there is not pressure regulator after the air receiver (thank) so the rapid drop from 7 - 6 bar is the surge in the system ,so if u have pressure regulator it would eliminated the surge .Your help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it's not safe ... make it that way.

Another possibility is that the compressed air is not being cooled adequately before getting to the receiver, which then fills with hot air. The air cools and looses pressure when the compressor stops.

Frequent load/unload may not be a problem. Check with the manufacturer.
