Centrifugal separator with baffle

In a centrifugal separator (10) for separating a liquid from a compressed gas, a baffle (30) is provided to separate the centrifugal chamber (14) into an upper sub-chamber (14a) and a lower sub-chamber (14b) but does not contact the walls of the chamber thereby being insufficient to prevent downward...

Summary:In a centrifugal separator (10) for separating a liquid from a compressed gas, a baffle (30) is provided to separate the centrifugal chamber (14) into an upper sub-chamber (14a) and a lower sub-chamber (14b) but does not contact the walls of the chamber thereby being insufficient to prevent downward flow of separated liquid along the interior wall the two sub-chambers, and insufficient to prevent flow of compressed gas from one sub-chamber to the other sub-chamber, the baffle nevertheless being sufficient to prevent turbulent gas flow in the lower sub-chamber when collected liquid is drained therefrom.
