A series of baffle plates are placed directly acrcss the steam pas-sageway and at right angles to it. Each baffle has a number ofupright tubes supplied with openings leading to a main duct orcapillary which terminates in the receiver below. The uprighttubes of one baffle plate are set staggered to those back of it so asto subject all the steam in passing through to a thorough separa-tion. There are ample sized openings left between for the steamto pass through without diminishing the pressure. Below the separator proper, and a part of it, is the receiver,which may be fitted with a special device for the automatic re^moval of the water or oil as soon as it has accumulated abovea certain height in the
