Abstract: The present invention is a liquid water trap for continuous trapping of liquid from the gas passed by a pressurized breathing circuit of a ventilator, respirator, anaesthesia unit or the like. A hollow, spherically shaped member has a plurality of holes through its surface. A pair of tubular members extend from within the spherically shaped member, through the surface thereof, and radially outward therefrom, with the first end of each tubular member positioned within the spherically shaped member such that the first ends are separated and overlap in the central region of the spherically shaped member. The second ends of the pair of tubular members are adapted for connection in a pressurized breathing circuit for passage of the breathing circuit gas therethrough.
