The new generation of PR (power reduction) compressors further pushes out the boundaries of fuel economy and reliability. The current state-of-the-art air processing unit now embraces all the requirements of the new electronic architectures, paving the way for electronic dashboard information, and allowing air management to take its place in 'smart vehicle' architectures. The improved control offers even further fuel saving. Together, these technologies represent a major advance in the development of vehicular compressed-air management technology. There are many more synergies in this area: The short pipe / long pipe compromise can be improved at both extremes by electronic control; the elimination of excessively long pumping phases shortens the average on-load time, and so reduces peak and average temperatures; simple body temperature monitoring allows the unit for switching to the old line-unload system until enough energy is 'wasted' in order to avoid freezing the pipe and the dryer inlet galleries. The adoption of simple but well thought out and designed modifications coupled with the introduction of CAN (controller area network)-connected air management systems will greatly enhance the practical acceptability and technical life span of compressed air as a very robust power transmission medium.
