Abstract

The system comprises an electronic regulating mechanism for adjusting the pressure (p) to the true pressure (ps). If the pressure (p) moves outside a predetermined tolerance pressure range (p1,P2), the regulating mechanism ensures that the pressure is brought back into the pressure range.
