Abstract

See full text

A fluid separator includes a separator housing defining a longitudinal bore having first and second bore ends. A first fluid passage is in fluid communication with the bore at the first bore end. A second fluid passage is in fluid communication with the bore adjacent the second bore end. A third fluid passage is in fluid communication with a portion of the bore spaced apart from both the first and second bore ends. A free-floating piston is located inside the bore and configured for longitudinal movement with respect to the bore responsive to fluid pressure within the bore. A biasing spring urges the piston toward the second bore end. An end cap is located at the second bore end. The end cap is maintained on the housing via at least two retainers.
