To provide an air supply system capable of supplying an ample volume of air even in the case of an air usage volume being large.SOLUTION: An air supply system includes a control part performing: measuring time from a clock time when recognizing that tank pressure being the pressure of a main tank has reached a first pressure value to a time when recognizing that the tank pressure has decreased to a second pressure value being smaller than the first pressure value; and causing an air compressor to start an air supply in a first drive mode in which to supply the main tank with air at a first supply speed in a case where the measured time is longer than a threshold, while causing the air compressor to start the air supply in a second drive mode in which to supply the main tank with air at a second supply speed being higher than the first supply speed in a case where the measured time is equal to or shorter than the threshold.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】エア使用量が多い場合においても十分なエアを供給することができるエア供給システムを提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】エア供給システムは、メインタンクの圧力であるタンク圧が第１の圧力値に達したことを認識した時刻からタンク圧が第１の圧力値よりも小さい第２の圧力値に低下したことを認識する時刻までの時間を計測し、計測された時間である計測時間が閾値よりも長い場合、第１の供給速度でメインタンクにエアを供給する第１の駆動モードでのエアコンプレッサによるエア供給を開始させ、計測時間が閾値以下である場合、第１の供給速度よりも大きい第２の供給速度でメインタンクにエアを供給する第２の駆動モードでのエアコンプレッサによるエア供給を開始させる制御部と、を備える。【選択図】図４
