  • Inline vortex demister
    Patent number: 11351492
    Abstract: An inline vortex demister for removing moisture from an air stream is disclosed. In embodiments, the inline vortex demister includes one or more vortex-inducing structures disposed within a tube. In embodiments, the one or more vortex-inducing structures are configured to induce an air stream with a first moisture content into a vortex flow pattern in order to remove a first volume of moisture from the air stream by causing the first volume of moisture to adsorb to an inner tube surface of the tube. In additional embodiments, the inline vortex demister includes a demister element disposed within the tube, wherein the demister element is configured to remove a second volume of moisture from the air stream.
