A coalescer filter is illustrated for removing material from a gas wherein a collection of liquid coalesced by passing a gaseous stream upwardly within a coalescing material packed in an upright cylindrical housing is facilitated by creating a pressure drop in a tube [by venturi action]in an inlet air stream and communicating the pressure drop to a canister. The use of a float valve is also illustrated for controlling the discharge of liquid collected in a sealed drainage canister receiving coalesced liquid from a lower portion of an upright column or housing containing coalescing material through which a gaseous stream is passed upwardly.

The method of removing liquids from air comprising the steps of: forming an inlet air stream; providing an upright cylindrical housing containing coalescing material; introducing said inlet air stream to said cylindrical housing through an inlet air conduit and thence upwardly through said coalescing material; causing liquids contained within said air to coalesce and flow downwardly; causing a pressure drop in a canister positioned below said housing receiving coalesced liquids by positioning a tube having one end in said canister and the other end in said inlet air stream in said conduit prior to passage through said coalescing material to create a pressure drop in said canister; draining said liquids from a lower portion of said housing through an opening spaced laterally of said inlet air conduit with the aid of said pressure drop in the canister.
