Abstract
An in-line air purifier for removing water, oil and carbon monoxide from a compressed air stream comprises a two-stage assembly in which the first stage includes replaceable cartridges for promoting coalescence of water and oil into droplets and removing such droplets from the air stream. The dried air is then routed to a second stage where it is passed through a replaceable cartridge containing a bed of activated charcoal for removal of odor-causing matter, and then through a further replaceable cartridge containing a bed of catalytic pellets which function at room temperature to remove carbon monoxide. The resulting purified air is routed through a manually adjustable pressure regulator to a purifier outlet.
