ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for separating liquid from a liquid/gas mixture by establishing a laminar flow within a curved channel. Entrained liquid droplets, that have higher inertia than the gas, follow a trajectory, deviate from the gas flow lines, and impinge on the wall. The liquid droplets coalesce and migrate to the inner radius under the influence of shear from the secondary flow, where the liquid is collected and retained in an artery by capillary action. The liquid is then forced through bleed ports into the liquid drain line. The term liquid/gas mixtures is intended to include liquid/vapor mixtures as well.
