Abstract
A device for removing moisture from a gas includes an elongated vessel having a gas outlet at a first end, a moisture outlet at a second end and a gas inlet located between the gas outlet and the moisture outlet. The elongated vessel has a first gas flow modifier and a second gas flow modifier each for causing deviation of the flow of gas within the elongated vessel from a flow path extending directly between the gas inlet and the gas outlet. The first gas flow modifier is an angled baffle plate extending partly across the elongated vessel for directing the gas flow from the elongated vessel in a direction towards the moisture outlet. The second gas flow modifier has plates extending across the elongated vessel with each plate having elongated slots extending in the same orientation as the elongated slots of one plate extending in a direction rotated 90° from at least one other plate of the second gas flow modifier.
