Dry gas production systems for pressurizing a space and methods of operating such systems to produce a dry gas stream
First Claim
1. A dry gas production system comprising:
- an enclosure with an access opening, said enclosure disposed upon a surface;
at least one dry gas production module that includes a compressor and a membrane dryer pneumatically coupled with said compressor; and
a mobile rack with a plurality of rolling members, said mobile rack configured to support said at least one dry gas production module, said mobile rack being movable on said rolling members relative to said surface and relative to said enclosure for moving said at least one dry gas production module through said access opening between a first position inside the enclosure and a second position outside of the enclosure, said rolling members supporting said mobile rack for movement through said access opening.

Abstract
A dry gas production system for supplying dry gas to a pressurized space, such as an underground conduit or an aerial cable. The dry gas production system may include a modular enclosure that has a removable support to which multiple dry gas production modules are mounted. The support may be a mobile rack wheeled inside the enclosure and likewise removed from the enclosure while supporting the dry gas production modules. The dry gas production system may include multiple dry gas production modules that are operated as required to meet the dry gas demand for the pressurized space. The module compressor may include a variable frequency drive for driving the compressor motor at different speeds and may optionally include a mount with vibration isolation.
