ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for separating immiscible liquids such as water from oil such as lubricating oil or diesel and fuel oil contained in a reservoir, including an outlet adjacent the lowest part of the reservoir, a first conduit having an inlet connected to the outlet of the reservoir, and a first conduit outlet where a selected segment of the conduit between the conduit inlet and outlet is of reduced diameter, and where a segment of the conduit intermediate the inlet and outlet is offset downwardly, a vertically disposed elongate separator having a midsection of selected diameter with an inlet connected to the outlet of the first conduit, a first receiver having a diameter greater than the diameter of the midsection and having an inlet communicating with the midsection where the first receiver is located above the midsection and a second receiver located beneath the receiver having a diameter greater than the midsection, with an inlet communicating with the midsection where the first receiver includes an end cap, the second receiver includes a bottom cap, an air vent disposed in the first receiver having an inlet located in the upper portion of the first receiver and an outlet disposed outside the first receiver and where the second receiver includes an outlet in the lower portion thereof connected to transparent tube means sight gage. An inverted frustro conical baffle can be located in the second receiver in generally aligned relation with the midsection.
