    Abstract: An apparatus for contaminant reduction in a stream of compressed gas is disclosed. The apparatus includes an insert for directing the gas. The insert sits in a head portion which has an inlet leading to an inlet pathway for directing the gas towards the insert. The head portion also has an outlet leading from an outlet pathway for directing the gas from the insert towards the outlet. There is also a body portion sealed to the head portion for collecting contaminants removed from the gas. The insert includes a tubular portion connected to the head portion. Gas from the inlet pathway passes outside the tubular portion whilst gas going to the outlet passes inside the tubular portion. The insert has a baffle extending from the tubular portion for narrowing the gap between the insert and the body portion and has curved walls extending from the baffle causing the stream of gas to rotate thereby form a vortex.

    Abstract: A spiral mist elimination system includes a container with an inlet and a layered assembly in fluid communication with the inlet. The layered assembly contains a spiral shape and is concentric with a central axis of the container. The layered assembly imparts centrifugal motion in the engine bleed air as the engine bleed air travels spirally inward. The first portion of the layered assembly receives the first set of droplets. The layered assembly also includes a mesh matrix that collects a second set of droplets. The second set of droplets impacts the mesh matrix and coalesces to form a third set of droplets. A perforated tube is disposed along the central axis of the container. The perforated tube collects the engine bleed air from the layered assembly. Gravity draws the first and third sets of droplets into a reservoir.

    Abstract: A thimble assembly for a cyclone separator comprising a plurality of carrier brackets separately mountable on a shelf of the separator along the perimeter of a circular exhaust opening, a plurality of segments vertically successively suspended from the brackets, the segments of an upper row being joined to the brackets, the segments of each successive lower row being joined to the segments of a row immediately above, each bracket exclusively serving a chord of an arc concentric with the circular opening that is substantially the same in length as the chord of an arc that a segment spans, a center-to-center chordal spacing of adjacent brackets being the same as a center-to-center distance of an adjacent pair of segments.
