  • Patent number: 10668421
    Abstract: A housing of a device for separating fluid from gas has a first gas passage centrally arranged relative to an axis of the housing, a second gas passage arranged radially outwardly of the first gas passage, and a fluid outlet for fluid separated from the gas. The fluid outlet, relative to the axis, is arranged radially between first gas passage and second gas passage. A fluid outlet seal part of a fluid outlet sealing device is provided that is arranged fluidically between the second gas passage and the fluid outlet and interacts seal-tightly with a corresponding fluid outlet seal part of a connection part provided for connecting the housing with a connector device. The fluid outlet seal part of the fluid outlet sealing device has an annular seal section with a radially inwardly acting sealing surface and/or a radially outwardly acting sealing surface.

  • Patent number: 10391436
    Abstract: A cup-shaped housing assembly for a device for separating liquid from air has a cup-shaped housing body having an interior. At least one annular filter element for separating liquid from air is arranged in the housing body. A housing cover closes off an end face of the housing body. The housing cover has an inner side that is facing the interior and an outer side that is facing away from the interior. The housing cover has at least one raw air inlet through which raw air is supplied to the interior. The housing cover has at least one clean air opening though which filtered clean air is discharged from the interior.

  • Patent number: 8734554
    Abstract: A gas compression system includes a compressor operable to discharge a mixed flow of gas and lubricant, a separator tank including an opening having a first face, and a separator element including a disk portion having a second face and a third face. The separator element is positioned at least partially within the opening and is operable to separate at least a portion of the lubricant from the mixed flow of gas and lubricant. A lid is coupled to the separator tank and includes a fourth face. A one-piece seal ring is coupled to the disk and is compressed between the lid, the disk, and the separator tank to define a first airtight seal between the first face and the second face and a second airtight seal between the third face and the fourth face.
