<p>A cord rewinder assembly (12) for a wet vacuum cleaner (10) with a moist air discharge outlet includes a conventional cord rewinder (22) and a deflector plate (20). The deflector plate (20) not only shields the cord rewinder (22) from direct contact with the moist airflow discharge, but also functions to remove moisture from the airflow so that it can be utilized to cool the electrical components of the cord rewinder (22). Incoming air is cleaned by a water canister and filters. The clean moist discharge air impinges on the deflector plate (20) and redirected downwardly toward a cavity (62). The airflow passes beneath the deflector plate (20) and reverses direction. The decrease in velocity and redirection allows the moisture to drop out of the airflow. The dry airflow is directed through the cord rewinder (22) to remove heat generated by electrical components thereof. The heated airflow is then exhausted through a vent with a removable cover.</p> |
