Abstract
A compressor system is disclosed. The compressor system includes a motor, a compressor driven by the motor, a first after cooler, a second after cooler, and a heat exchanger housed in an enclosure. Interior panels are arranged in the enclosure to separate the motor and compressor, the first after cooler, the second after cooler, and the heat exchanger from one another. Conduit extends through the interior panels to provide a fluid path between the compressor, the first after cooler, the second after cooler, and the heat exchanger. Ducting is provided in the enclosure to provide fluid communication between various components of the compressor system.
Claims20
A compressor system comprising:
- a plurality of panels attached to a frame to define an enclosure;
- a pump bay provided in the enclosure, the pump bay including a motor and a compressor driven by the motor;
- and
- interior panels defining the pump bay, a first cooling area comprising a first after cooler, a second cooling area comprising a second after cooler, and a third cooling area comprising a heat exchanger, the interior panels comprising ducting to fluidly connect at least one of the pump bay, the first cooling area, the second cooling area, and the third cooling area to each other.
A method of assembling a compressor system comprising the steps of:
- attaching a plurality of panels to a frame to define an enclosure;
- arranging a plurality of interior panels in the enclosure to define a pump bay, a first cooling bay, a second cooling bay, and a third cooling bay
- providing a motor and a compressor driven by the motor in the pump bay;
- providing a first after cooler in the first cooling bay and fluidly coupling the first after cooler to the compressor;
- providing a second after cooler in the second cooling bay and fluidly coupling the first after cooler to the second after cooler;
- and
- providing a heat exchanger in the third cooling bay and fluidly coupling the heat exchanger to the second after cooler.
A compressor system comprising:

- a pump bay provided in the enclosure, the pump bay including a motor and a compressor driven by the motor;
- a first after cooler;
- a second after cooler;
- a heat exchanger;
- interior panels arranged in the enclosure to separate the pump bay, the first after cooler, the second after cooler, and the heat exchanger;
- conduit extending through the interior panels to provide a fluid path for compressed gas from the compressor, the first after cooler, the second after cooler, and the heat exchanger;
- first ducting provided in the enclosure, the first ducting being arranged to provide fluid communication between the pump bay and the first after cooler;
- second ducting provided in the enclosure, the second ducting being arranged to provide fluid communication between an interior space of the enclosure and the second after cooler;
- and
- third ducting provided in the enclosure, the third ducting being arranged to provide fluid communication between an ambient environment external to the enclosure and the heat exchanger.
