Air enters the water separator inlet and flows into the separator module, the inlet of the separator module contains a set of fixed vanes which the air must pass through. In the vessel, the vanes spin the air, the spinning air is then forced to change direction as it passes through the impeller. Due to the design of the separator module, a vortex is created that narrows and intensifies as it reaches the lower part of the separator module.Liquid in bulk is removed from the airstream due to the following factors, airstream direction changes, velocity changes, vortex centrifugal action. As the vortex reaches the bottom of the module, air is forced through the center of the vortex. Aerospace turning vanes, located at the outlet of the separator module, turn an inefficient corner into more efficient corners. Turning vanes reduce turbulence, minimizing pressure loss and the cost of ownership.
