A gas and liquid separator includes a wet gas feedstock ingress, a plurality of separating baffles, a dried gas egress, and a first liquid egress. A wet gas feedstock under pressure enters the separator through the wet gas feedstock ingress. The wet gas feedstock ingress adiabatically and isentropically converges the wet gas feedstock and then accelerates the wet gas feedstock into the separation baffles. The separation baffles separate the constituents of the wet gas feedstock. The separated, dry gas egresses the separator through a straw of the dried gas egress that extends into the interior of a separation chamber of the separator from the top thereof. The separated liquids egress from the separator through the first liquid egress.

The invention relates to a separator for separating a conveyed medium, preferably air, from a conveyed material (4). Said separator comprises a container (1) which has at least one feed line (3) for the conveyed medium/conveyed material mixture, at east one outlet for the conveyed material (4), and at least one outlet (8) for the conveyed medium. In order to avoid abrasion damage at high conveying speeds or to ensure that said abrasion damage occurs at most only to a small extent, while nevertheless ensuring that the conveying medium and conveying material are reliably separated, an impact wall (14), which adjoins a cover wall (15) at an angle thereto, is located in the housing (1) opposite and at a distance from the outlet end (10) of the feed line (3) in the inflow direction (13) of the conveyed medium/conveyed material mixture. Said impact wall covers the inflow path of the conveyed medium/conveyed material mixture, blocking it from the outlet (8) for the conveyed medium. The conveyed material (4) hits the impact wall (14), which causes the kinetic energy of the conveyed medium to dissipate. The speed of the conveyed medium reduces very quickly after exiting the feed line (13), meaning that it cannot entrain any conveyed material.

A system designed to separate moisture and waste water particulates from air flow for use in connection with compact vacuum toilet systems. There is provided a separator that both raises the position of the vent port, as well as provides a series of baffles to block and/or to collect and help route any collected moisture. The resulting moisture removal from the compact vacuum toilet system can help improve reliability and function of the system.

A coke catching apparatus for use in hydrocarbon cracking to assist in the removal of coke and the prevention of coke build up in high coking hydrocarbon processing units. The apparatus includes a grid device for preventing large pieces of coke from entering the outlet of the process refining equipment while allowing small pieces of coke to pass through and be disposed of. The coke catching apparatus can be easily disassembled to be removed from the refining process equipment and cleaned.

An air intake system for a vehicle has a conduit having an internal wall forming an air passage. A deflector is disposed within the air passage. A restricting structure is disposed within the air passage between the deflector and a conduit outlet. The restricting structure defines at least in part an opening substantially laterally aligned with the deflector. The restricting structure has a lateral wall disposed downstream of the deflector and extending within the air passage. The lateral wall has a front surface generally facing a conduit inlet, and a plurality of surface-increasing features provided on the front surface. Each of the surface-increasing features has a length of at least 1 mm measured from the front surface in a direction normal thereto. An air intake system having a collector connected to the deflector and positioned to collect at least some moisture from air flowing past the deflector is also described.
