ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for separating vapor from pressurized gas and for then purifying the gas comprises a cylindrical pressure tank having a lower opening closed by a removable base member and having disposed within the tank a gas purifying element. An annular vapor separating chamber is formed in the base member and an annular passageway communicating therewith is formed between the outer wall of the purifying element and the inner wall of the tank. A formed tube connected to an inlet passageway in the base member directs a pressurized gas-vapor mixture tangentially into the annular chamber and in a plane generally at right angles to the axis thereof, thereby causing vortexing of the mixture around the chamber and upwardly, around the annular passageway between the purifying element and tank, to a gas permeable upper region of the purifying element. Vapor is centrifugally separated from the vortexing gas-vapor mixture, the condensate being gravity collected in the bottom of the annular chamber. The purifying element, which may contain several different purifying media, removes residual vapor and chemical and particulate impurities from the gas as the gas passes downwardly therethrough. Purified gas exits the tank through an outlet passageway in the base member. A drain valve, by which condensate is drained from the annular chamber, and a burst diaphragm, which prevents over-pressurization of the tank, are provided in the base member.
