Abstract
A moisture reducing apparatus is provided that includes a housing configured to receive an air stream and a net disposed outside the housing. In the apparatus, the net is held sufficiently loosely to permit movement of the net such that flow through the net is variable over time to remove moisture with the net and to permit a relatively substantial portion of a gaseous and particulate matter in the air stream to continue to flow through the net and inside the housing to protect filter media from moisture.
