  • Publication number: 20240325970
    Abstract: Phase separator systems may include a condenser configured to receive humid air, the condenser configured to convert the humid air into a two-phase fluid having a gaseous portion and a liquid portion. A transition duct is arranged downstream from the condenser and configured to direct the two-phase fluid through a narrowing path defined by the transition duct. A separator is arranged downstream from the transition duct and configured to interact with the two-phase fluid that exits the transition duct and capture the liquid portion and permit the gaseous portion to bypass the separator and flow downstream therefrom as a reduced moisture content airflow. A condensate dispersion element is arranged between the condenser and the separator and includes a dispersion structure arranged to break up liquid droplets of the liquid portion of the two-phase fluid and direct said liquid droplets to the separator.

  • Publication number: 20240327040
    Abstract: Phase separator systems may include a condenser configured to convert humid air into a two-phase fluid having a gaseous portion and a liquid portion. A directing conduit is arranged downstream from the condenser and configured to direct the two-phase fluid through a narrowing path defined by the directing conduit. A separator is arranged downstream from the directing conduit and configured to interact with the two-phase fluid to capture the liquid portion and permit the gaseous portion to bypass the separator and flow downstream therefrom as a reduced moisture content airflow. A condensate director is arranged between the condenser and the separator and includes a plurality of collector elements arranged to capture liquid droplets and direct said liquid droplets along the plurality of collector elements. Each collector element has a free distal end at a downstream end thereof and arranged to direct the liquid droplets toward the separator.
