ABSTRACT:
A liquid separator configured to separate liquid from a fluid stream. The separator includes a housing, a separation chamber disposed within the housing, a drain having a drain passageway for draining liquid from the separation chamber, an inlet chamber configured to receive the fluid stream, an inlet channel configured to communicate the fluid stream from the inlet chamber to the separation chamber, a swirler disposed within the inlet channel, and an outlet channel configured to communicate the fluid stream from a first outlet end positioned proximate the second inlet end, to a second outlet end remote from the separation chamber. Preferably, the separator also includes a separator mounting face proximate the inlet chamber, the mounting face configured for mounting the separator to a humidifier. The housing preferably includes a base and a cap which is removably mountable to the base.
