摘要： A compressed air system for a machine is disclosed. The compressed air system may comprise an air compressor having an inlet, an inlet valve configured to regulate a flow of air to the inlet of the air compressor, a reservoir configured to store compressed air generated by the air compressor, and a reservoir pressure sensor configured to monitor an actual reservoir pressure of the compressed air stored in the reservoir. The system may further comprise an electronic control system configured to regulate a position of the inlet valve. The electronic control system may include an electronic control module (ECM) in electronic communication with the reservoir pressure sensor and an electronic actuator operatively associated with the inlet valve to adjust the position of the inlet valve.
