Abstract
A liquid extractor may comprise a slot in a duct wall and one or more ridges positioned on the interior duct wall surface. A bend in the duct, a swirl device and/or gravity may throw the liquid portion of the flow onto the wall surface. The slot may be oriented longitudinally along the duct. The ridge(s) may intersect the duct and be positioned to direct the liquid on the wall surface to the slot where the water is extracted. An enclosing sump may be positioned on the outside of the duct and over the slot.
