Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a device for coalescing a frothy fluid is described. The device includes a housing and alignment devices. The alignment devices receive a number of coalescing filters, space the number of coalescing filters to form a gap between adjacent coalescing filters, and seal the number of coalescing filters against the housing to enclose the gap. The device also includes an inlet port to drive incoming frothy fluid through the gap, an outlet port to drain coalesced fluid, and an air vent to allow air to escape the gap.
