  • Coalescing apparatus and method
    Patent number: 5037454
    Abstract: A gas purification apparatus which is operable utilizing an upflow direct impingement coalescer. A central inlet in the lower portion of a column expands the flow of air and liquid droplets (vertical flow to horizontal separation). The droplets lose velocity and are impinged in the packing. Migration is first outward from the main gas flow and then downward. Finally, the liquids are drained at the bottom. A collar around the central inlet insures that liquid will not reenter into the central inlet.

  • Apparatus and method for treating air from a turbocharger
    Patent number: 4708120
    Abstract: Heat exchanger apparatus and method for cooling and removing moisture from air passing from a turbocharger (10) and the like to an intake of a combustion engine (11) is illustrated wherein heat pipes (B) extend across a flow path of the compressed air to a zone (C) of ambient air external of the flow path of compressed air to transfer heat to a controlled ambient air flow in the ambient (C) passing across the heat tubes, and including a coalescer zone (D) for collecting and removing moisture from the cooled air.
