Gas-entrained liquid separating means with dual housing

The invention comprises an L-shaped tank which, in combination, has both a vertical, liquid-reservoir housing and a horizontal, filter housing through which compressed gas, which has liquid entrained therein, is conducted. The gas is guided in centrifugal travel through the vertical housing, to separate out the liquid, and then it passes through a filter, fixed within the horizontal housing about an apertured outlet pipe, also to separate any remaining liquid from the compressed gas. A plurality of baffles require the product gas to follow a circuitous or tiered path through the vertical housing, and the apertured outlet pipe is offset from the center of the horizontal housing to insure that the being-filtered gas uniformly addresses the outlet pipe.
