Water separator for a gas analyzer
First Claim
1. A water separator for a gas analyzer comprising, a container defining a water separation chamber, an inlet conduit for conducting a gas sample to the chamber, said chamber having an inwardly tapered lower end and being formed of two sections generally having the shape of opposed interconnected cones, each cone having an apex and a base, said cones being disposed in axially offset base-to-base relation, a first outlet conduit being connected to the apex of the lower cone and to a vacuum source for creating sub-atmospheric pressure in said first outlet conduit and continuously drawing collected water from said chamber, a second outlet conduit being connected to the apex of the upper cone and to a vacuum source for creating sub-atmospheric pressure in said second outlet conduit to thereby continuously draw gas from said chamber.
