Zusammenfassung:	A liquid separator assembly for separating a liquid from a liquid-entrained vapor is provided. The separator assembly includes a housing having an interior wall that is configured to define a containment chamber. A downstream pipe is provided that is coupled to the housing and is in fluid communication with the containment chamber to discharge vapor from the housing. An upstream pipe is provided that is coupled to the housing and is in fluid communication with the containment chamber to introduce the liquid-entrained vapor into the housing. The upstream pipe is formed to include an expansion mechanism in the containment chamber for expanding and cooling the liquid-entrained vapor discharged in the containment chamber to induce condensation of the liquid entrained in the vapor onto the interior wall of the housing. A liquid return conduit is provided for conducting condensed liquid collecting in the containment chamber to a point of use.
