Abstract

A filter element for use in a gas compression system is disclosed and is structured to filter a lubricant mist from a flow of compressed gas. The filter element includes a lip and a separator flange that extends from the lip in a generally downward direction to a basket. The basket can contain a filter media useful to remove lubricant mist from the flow of compressed gas. The separator flange is oriented in a downward direction to encourage condensate to flow toward the basket and away from a lid of a container in which the filter element is installed.
