Abstract

A moisture trap including a housing with an inlet and an outlet and defining a reservoir therein. A conduit in the housing extends through the reservoir from the inlet and the conduit has a distal open end spaced from the housing outlet. A hydrophilic filter canister is received in the housing filling the reservoir. The canister includes an end wall disposed over the distal open end of the conduit, the end wall having gas ports therethrough in fluid communication between the housing outlet and the distal open end of the conduit. A hydrophilic column extends from the end wall within the conduit for collecting liquid and wicking collected liquid into the reservoir. A hydrophobic filter is disposed between the hydrophilic filter canister and the housing outlet to block liquid from passing through the outlet.
