  • Gas-liquid separator with dual flow impaction and coalescence
    Patent number: 7828865
    Abstract: A gas-liquid separator assembly has dual flow first and second split partial paths. The first path is an impaction separation path effecting liquid particle separation from a gas-liquid stream by inertial impaction. The second path is a coalescence-separation path effecting liquid particle separation from the gas-liquid stream by coalescence.
