Abstract
A separator tank assembly for use in a fluid compression system includes a separator element having a base, a support element mounted to the separator element, and a scavenge tube. The scavenge tube has a first end and a second end. The scavenge tube is fixed to the support element so that the first end of the scavenge tube is located at a predetermined position relative to the base of the separator element. The separator tank assembly also includes a tank housing having an outer flange at a top end thereof. The tank housing is dimensioned to receive the separator element. The separator tank assembly further includes a tank cover to attach to the outer flange of the tank housing. The tank cover has a cover orifice, and the separator tank assembly includes an adapter extending through the cover orifice. The adapter has a first section to connect to the second end of the scavenge tube and a second section to connect to a line component of the fluid compression system.
