Moisture Separators are devices that separate liquids entrained in the air or gas. A moisture separator generally is installed following each intercooler or aftercooler to remove the condensed moisture. This involves changes in direction and velocity and may include impingement baffles. Lubricant-injected rotary compressors have an air/lubricant coalescing separator immediately after the compressor discharge to separate the injected lubricant before it is cooled and recirculated to the compressor. This separation must take place before cooling to prevent condensed moisture from being entrained in the lubricant. Both Toronto and Guelph locations carry moisture separators.
