ABSTRACT:
A device for separating liquid particles from compressed air transported therthrough, to protect machine parts connected thereto. The device is simple to manufacture, easy to maintain and can be made of low-cost materials such as injection molded plastics. A cylindrical housing has an inlet and an outlet at opposite ends thereof for coupling into the installation. A plurality of cones are formed into a vertical pile and closely spaced from one another. Each cone has a concave deflector surface opening out towards the inlet and an orifice cut out at one point on the edge of the cone. The cones are mounted inside the housing and their edges fit closely against the inner wall surface of the housing so that the orifices of consecutive cones are offset 180.degree. apart. Fluid entering the inlet is subject to successive collisions agains the cone deflector surfaces, alternating a deflector surface with passage through the orifice of the associated cone, thereby being subjected to a generally helical path alternating 180.degree. horizontal spans with shod vertical spans. The housing may also contain a filter for solid particles placed between the last cone and the outlet.
