darshit9 - Please provide a sketch and some more info. "Breakaway"?? This is usually reserved for valve action.

Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

If there is no unloader and the overall bypass line is fully open, then final discharge pressure on the compressor will be nearly the same as suction, and startup torque will be the same as if all unloaders are open ?
