ABSTRACT:
An anti-moisture device for removing moisture droplets from an interior surface of a duct, characterized by an outer edge secured to the interior surface of the duct, an inner edge surrounding an opening, and a connecting wall between the outer edge and the inner edge. The inner edge of the anti-moisture device is positioned closer to a downstream end of the duct than the outer edge whereby the connecting wall is positioned at an angle relative to the interior surface of the duct. Moisture droplets traveling upstream will be caught between the connecting wall and the interior surface of the duct, on the downstream side of the device. The connecting wall is dimensioned so that a turbulent disturbance will be created along the interior surface of the duct whereby moisture droplets will be removed. The anti-moisture device is preferably made of a thermally conductive material so that moisture droplets contacting the device will be flashed into steam, or vaporized.
