Abstract
A skid (10) is disclosed which includes a mainframe (22) and detachable side wings (22,24) which can be removed from the mainframe for transportation and attached to the mainframe at the site of use to enhance stability. The engine (14), compressor (12) and other equipment are mounted between the main beams (26, 28) of the mainframe (20) and suitable plates (136) are interdisposed between the main beams to allow a walkway between the engine and the compressor. Grating (156) is provided on other portions of the skid to facilitate use by operational personnel. All pipe runs beneath the grating and provisions are made for fluids to drain from the engine and compressor to storage tanks within the skid.
Claims15
A compressor skid for mounting a compressor and a power source, comprising:
- a mainframe having a lateral width and a longitudinal length for mounting the compressor and power source;
- first and second longitudinal main beams and a plurality of inner lateral beams extending between the longitudinal main beams, the compressor and power source mounted between the longitudinal main beams;
- an upper deck plating mounted on the first and second longitudinal main beams between the compressor and power source;
- and
- at least one first side wing, the first side wing having a pair of elongate channels parallel to the first and second longitudinal main beams and a plurality of lateral beams interconnecting the elongate channels, wherein said first side wing is attached to the mainframe to extend the width of the mainframe.
A compressor skid for mounting a compressor and a power source, comprising:
- a main frame having a lateral width and a longitudinal length for mounting the compressor and power source, the main frame including first and second longitudinal main beams and a plurality of inner lateral beams extending between the longitudinal main beams, the compressor and power source mounted between the longitudinal main beams, and upper deck plating mounted on the first and second longitudinal main beams between the compressor and power source, the main frame further including a plurality of outer lateral beams extending from the longitudinal main beams and first and second outer longitudinal beams, the first and second outer longitudinal beams mounted to the outer lateral beams, grating positioned between the longitudinal main beams and the longitudinal outer beams;
- a first side wing having a pair of elongate channels interconnected by a plurality of lateral beams, said first side wing removably attached to the first outer longitudinal beam;
- a second side wing, the second side wing having a pair of elongate channels interconnected by a plurality of lateral beams, said second side wing removably attached to the second outer longitudinal beam;
- the first and second side wings being removed from the main frame to permit the main frame to be transported on a highway, the first and second side wings attached to the main frame to increase the width of the compressor skid to enhance skid stability.
