ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to water removal or separator which can remove droplets of water suspended in the air as mist, and can separate the mist from the air to change and to transform "wet-air" into "dry-air." More particularly this invention relates to such devices which have a housing with baffles. The "wet-air" enters the housing from an inlet or orifice and strikes the baffles, and through the action of evaporation and surface friction the air sheds the water droplets onto the baffles. The water thus condensed on the baffles then drops and collects in the floor of the housing wherefrom it may be drained to the atmosphere through a small opening or an exhaust nozzle. To promote the removal of the water from the housing, through the assist of the air entering the housing, the baffles may be slightly curved or arcuate in configuraion so that as the air strikes them it is diverted downwardly where by slight air pressure thus created the water in the floor of the housing is expelled from the housing without too much air being used and wasted in the process.
