Air, gas or steam enters the separator at high velocity. The specially designed centrifuge element provides the primary separation. The bell reducer provides the cyclone action and the boundary layer control. The bell reducer also forces compressed air to rub and impact against baffles to further improve the separation efficiency. These baffles are strategically located and placed at a specific angle for optimum separation. The specially designed convex drain plate prevents accumulation of condensate at the compressed air re-entry point into the bell reducer. The large opening of the bell reducer keeps air velocity low thus preventing moisture re-entrainment.
