Abstract

Moisture separation systems and condensation devices for gas extracted from drilling fluids while drilling are provided. The condensation devices include a body having a first end and a second end and an exterior wall defining an interior surface, an interior passage providing a connection from the first end to the second end, and an angled support path within the interior passage, the angled support path extending from the interior surface and angled with respect to gravity. The angled support path is configured to direct a condensate away from the interior surface by the operation of gravity.
