The housing outlet is configured to exhaust the stratified fluid. The housing defines an interior housing volume between the housing inlet and the housing outlet. The vane assembly further includes a vane disposed within the interior housing volume and bisecting the interior housing volume. The vane includes a leading edge adjacent the housing inlet and a trailing edge adjacent the housing outlet. The trailing edge is angularly offset from the leading edge.
