compressor manual
During low demand periods, the controller will open the blowdown valve and fully close the inlet valve to minimize the motor load. A timer is reset when this occurs. While in this state, control air pressure is supplied from the plant air system (***as are any plant loads***). When the system air pressure drops to the reset pressure due to increased demand, the blowdown valve recloses and the controls resume their normal modulation to maintain the system pressure near the set pressure.
...does it mean that air pressure is supplied by the factory as are all other services such as electricity and the like? if not, what are the other plant "loads"?
thanks!

: Although the English is poor, I think they are in fact referring simply to pneumatic loads...

plant air system supplies any pressurized air consumers
Expanding the original sentence: ***as any plant loads are supplied from the plant air system****:
anything using pressurized air will be supplied by the plant air system
anything using pressurized air will be supplied by the plant air system

COMMENT (not for grading)
Just adding a comment to expand slightly on my peer comment to Klaus, which seems to have caused him some puzzlement!
My quibble was simply with the way you had re-interpreted the phrase between Elena's asterisks:
"Expanding the original sentence: ***as any plant loads are supplied from the plant air system****:
anything using pressurized air will be supplied by the plant air system"
You seem to have ignored the inverted word order 'as are...', and I think the point being made in the original sentence here is that BOTH 'the control air pressure' AND 'any (other) plant loads' are 'supplied [under this state] from...' and so on
The 'as are...' in effect means sort of 'likewise'
A tiny point, I know, but I just felt the way you expressed your answer might have risked confusing the Asker; not in any way implying a criticism... :-)
