Liquid separator for removing a liquid from a sample of a breathing gas and airway adapter

A liquid separator removing a liquid from a sample of a breathing gas flowing through an airway adapter having a channel surrounded by a wall is disclosed herein. The separator includes a chamber receiving the sample, and a membrane having an outer surface exposed to the gas flow, the membrane at least partially surrounding the chamber, which membrane separates the liquid received by the chamber. The separator also includes a supporting structure for supporting the membrane, and a connector operationally attached to the supporting structure, the connector being connectable to the adapter. The connector comprises a cavity providing a flow path for the sample from the chamber through an opening of the cavity to a sample tube. The membrane branches from a central part of the channel into at least two different branches extending to different directions. 在本文中公开了液体分离器，该液体分离器从流过气道适配器的呼吸气体的样本移除液体，该气道适配器具有由壁包围的通道。该分离器包括接收样本的室和膜，该膜具有暴露于气体流的外表面，该膜至少部分地包围该室，该膜分离通过室接收的液体。该分离器还包括支撑结构和连接件，该支撑结构用于支撑该膜，该连接件操作地附接至该支撑结构，该连接件能够
