  • Patent number: 4964898
    Abstract: An improved apparatus for separating impurities from a stream of forced air by gravitational and centrifugal forces subjecting the air stream through a mesh coalescer to coalesce micro impurities of moisture or oil into large droplets which are forced through a helical passaway to condense into liquid. The separated liquid flows downwardly through a liquid protective unit into a liquid storage trap at the bottom of the device. The separated liquid when in the protective unit is free from the moving stream of forced air as latter swirls upwardly into an air filter and escape from an outlet port. The air stream once passed through the mesh coalescer, helical conduit and air filter is substantially free from any impurity.
