Abstract
A mobile inert gas generator can include various components supported by a wheeled vehicle. The generator can include a feed air compressor, a separation device for separating an inert gas from a feed air gas, and a booster compressor, each of which can have various sensors and actuators for controlling the operation thereof. An electronic control system can be connected to the sensors and actuators to allow for convenient operation of the generator. The electronic control system can include a control panel disposed in a cab.

1-30. (canceled)
A system configured to separate an inert gas from atmospheric air comprising:
- a feed air compressor configured to compress and thereby raise a pressure of atmospheric air;
- a separation device configured to separate the inert gas from the pressurized atmospheric air from the feed air compressor;
- a booster compressor configured to raise a pressure of the inert gas from the separation device;
- at least a first sensor configured to detect an operational parameter of the feed air compressor;
- a least a second sensor configured to detect an operational parameter related to the operation of the separation device;
- at least a third sensor configured to contact an operational parameter of the booster compressor;
- and
- an electronic control system being connected to the first, second, and third sensors, the electronic control system comprising a display device configured to display a graphical user interface having at least first, second, and third screens;
- wherein the first screen includes a plurality of data related to the operation of the feed air compressor including data indicative of the output of the first sensor, the second screen including a plurality of data related to the operation of the separation device including data indicative of the output of the second sensor, and the third screen including a plurality of data related to the operation of the booster compressor including data indicative of the output of the third sensor.
