Abstract
A moisture separator (10, 150, 200) is provided for filtering air being provided to a marine power plant. If the moisture separator becomes clogged, reducing air flow, a vacuum sensing switch (108) is closed to power panels (18, 20) to an opened position, permitting air to bypass the filtering elements of the moisture separator and flow directly to the power plant. The doors can be powered shut and latched in either position. A de-icing manifold (206) serves a dual function of spraying a de-icing fluid on the panels and also acts as a frame for the latching mechanism to hold a panel in an open position.
