Abstract

A high capacity vane (10) is disclosed which incorporates a series of members (16, 18) extending at predetermined angles relative to the direction of flow of a liquid bearing gas. Each of the members includes an upstream cavity (20) and a downstream (21) which communicate with the flow through longitudinal slots (24, 28). The flow interaction with the slots and cavities provide sufficient separation of the liquid from the gas flow.
