An inertial gas-liquid impactor separator includes flow director guidance structure directing and guiding flow through the housing from the inlet to the outlet along a flow path from upstream to downstream. The flow director guidance structure may include a flow controller controlling and directing flow.

Inertial gas-liquid impactor separator with flow director

A gas-liquid separator assembly has a flow passage providing expansion of and reduced flow velocity of the post-separation gas stream, and in some embodiments provides pre-escape regions facilitating partial pre-transition of some of the flow.

Gas-liquid separator with expansion transition flow

A gas-liquid separator assembly has dual flow first and second split partial paths. The first path is an impaction separation path effecting liquid particle separation from a gas-liquid stream by inertial impaction. The second path is a coalescence-separation path effecting liquid particle separation from the gas-liquid stream by coalescence.
