Drain assembly for removing liquid from a gas directing tube

摘要

An apparatus and method for the removal of condensate from an operational gas directing conduit. Unlike prior devices, the apparatus and method of the present invention provide for condensate removal along a gas directing conduit or system at points other than between gas directing conduit connections or at terminal points of the gas directing conduit. Periodic aspiration of accumulated liquid from the apparatus without interruption of gas flow through the gas directing conduit may also be facilitated.
