You could if you wanted to experiment look for a belt driven compressor and use a DC motor to vary the speed.

You might be right. The pressures do bounce around somewhat with my Inverter compressor.

But, the system might have been designed to operate efficiently at different pressures.
Or, maybe something is seriously wrong with my Sanyo..?.
