5.6.6 Water separator
The water separator removes water from the scavenge air. This prevents damage and gives better
combustion in the cylinders. Water occurs when the scavenge air cooler (SAC) decreases the
temperature of wet air. Water also occurs during the wash procedure of the SAC.
The profiles (002, Figure 5-38) hold back the water in the air flow. This water collects at the bottom
of the frame (003) and then flows back to the drain system.
