<p>An apparatus and associated method for discharging a fluid (20) and a liquid (30, 34) separated from the fluid (20) from an outlet chamber (16) of a heat exchanger (11,15). The outlet chamber (16) is configured to collect the separated liquid (30, 34). The apparatus includes a plate (36) that is positionable in the outlet chamber (16) adjacent to the exit surface (17) to form a channel (38) between the plate (36) and the exit surface (17). The plate (36) is configured to protrude over the outlet tube opening (19) so that the fluid (20) flowing through the outlet chamber (16) and into the outlet opening (19) pulls the liquid (30, 34) collected in the outlet chamber (16) through the channel (38) and out through the outlet opening (19) with the fluid (20). Because of the plate (36), the fluid (20) exiting through the outlet opening (19) must flow through a decreased area. This decreased area creates a low pressure region. The low pressure region draws the collected liquid (30, 34) through the channel (36) and discharges it through the outlet opening (19) with the fluid (20).</p> |
