How does an air purging system work in a car?

How this system works is there is an air pressure signal line that comes from an air tank to the governor. When there is 120 psi (give or take a few) of air at the governor it is signaled to supply the unloader in the compressor and to purge the drier. Once this happens the compressor is no longer compressing and the drier has purged.
