Abstract: A service system for gas compartments with a gas treatment device for treating a gas present in at least one gas compartment, at least one sensor device for monitoring at least one gas property of the gas, at least one connection coupled to the gas treatment device and the at least one sensor device, which connection is intended for coupling to the gas compartment, at least one conveying device for conveying a gas from the gas compartment into the gas treatment device and from the gas treatment device at least indirectly back into the gas compartment, and at least one control unit which is connected at least to the sensor device and monitors and controls at least the conveying device and/or the gas treatment device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for drying a chamber comprising a predominantly protective-gas atmosphere in the chamber under positive pressure, which has an operating pressure p1 and a predetermined minimum pressure pmin, wherein the minimum pressure pmin of the gas chamber is monitored and the operating pressure p1 is greater than the minimum pressure pmin, wherein the method comprises the following steps: a) removing of a partial quantity Vi of the protective gas from the chamber, wherein the partial quantity Vi is equivalent to the pressure differential ?p, which is smaller or equal to the differential between p1 and pmin, b) introducing a partial quantity V2 of a dry or dried protective gas into the gas chamber up to a gas pressure p2, which is greater than pmin and c) repeating method steps a) and b) after a predetermined waiting time ?t. The invention further relates to an arrangement for carrying out the method.
