PURPOSE:To efficiently separate water by turning the air contg. water in a cylindrical casing to centrifugally separate and discharge the large-diameter water droplet and introducing the remaining air into a small-diameter air discharge passage to separate the small-diameter water droplet. CONSTITUTION:A spiral flow generator 32 is coaxially provided at one end in the cylindrical casing 31, and the air introduced into the casing 31 from an upstream air passage 12 is turned by the spiral flow generator 32 to centrifugally separate water contained in the air. The separated water is discharged to the outside of the casing 31 through a discharge passage 34 formed on the inner peripheral wall of the casing 31. A cylindrical air discharge passage 33 having a smaller diameter than the casing 31 is provided coaxially with the spiral flow generator 32 with one end opened and opposed to the generator. At least the other end of the discharge passage 33 is communicated with the discharge passage 34, and a downstream air passage 41 is allowed to pierce the wall of the passage 33 and opened. Consequently the water in the air passage is efficiently separated and removed. |
