Abstract

Phase separator systems may include a condenser configured to receive humid air, the condenser configured to convert the humid air into a two-phase fluid having a gaseous portion and a liquid portion. A transition duct is arranged downstream from the condenser and configured to direct the two-phase fluid through a narrowing path defined by the transition duct. A separator is arranged downstream from the transition duct and configured to interact with the two-phase fluid that exits the transition duct and capture the liquid portion and permit the gaseous portion to bypass the separator and flow downstream therefrom as a reduced moisture content airflow. A condensate dispersion element is arranged between the condenser and the separator and includes a dispersion structure arranged to break up liquid droplets of the liquid portion of the two-phase fluid and direct said liquid droplets to the separator.
