Radial Diffuser Water Collector for Compact Moisture Separation

The patent transforms the conventional linear/axial diffuser design into a radial diffuser configuration where airflow moves from the center toward the outer perimeter in a radial pattern. This dimensional change allows the water collector to capture moisture more efficiently while occupying significantly less package space, as the radial arrangement compactly integrates the separation and collection functions within a smaller footprint volume.

The patent combines multiple functions into the radial diffuser assembly: the inverted conical structure serves simultaneously as the diffuser body, the separation device for directing moisture, and the structural framework for support members. By merging these previously separate components into a single integrated radial diffuser assembly, the design reduces overall device complexity while achieving compact packaging and effective moisture collection.
