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 5-47) 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.
