Abstract
A pressure tank condensation separator having an interior chamber forming a downflow path on a first side and an upflow path on a second side passing through horizontally positioned shelves; each shelf having at least one passageway positioned to cause a tortuous air path wherein moisture is separated and deposited on each shelf. The shelves are sloped, leading to drain holes for directing moisture collected to a purge valve. The removal of moisture is most beneficial to clean radar sensors, LIDAR and video cameras used on autonomous vehicles.
