to the upstream chamber 110 a passageway 124 integrated into the divider 108 may enable the gaseous stream 200 to enter the downstream chamber 112 a coalescing filter medium 126 disposed within the downstream chamber 112 may filter a flow of the gaseous stream 200 as it traverses the passageway 124 the filtered gaseous stream 200 may then exit the coalescing filter assembly 100 of the present invention through the outlet 122 traditionally the flow of gases through a coalescing filter assembly 100 as outlined above has resulted in gravitational pooling of liquid upstream of the coalescing filter medium 126 referring now to fig3 the areas of the coalescing filter assembly 100 particularly susceptible to upstream liquid pooling include a first area 300 located below a passageway 124 integrated into the divider 108 and a second area 302 located in a lower portion of the access chamber 114 the first area 300 may collect liquid as a result of microdroplet condensation on an upstream side of the divider 108 in one embodiment the divider 108 includes multiple elongate passageways 124 providing crankcase gases access to a coalescing filter medium 126 located in the downstream chamber 112 gases entering the passageways 124 may be heavy laden with oil and other heavy hydrocarbons indeed while fuel gas from the engine is typically well dispersed before it settles crankcase gases are typically much less dilute and may create local areas of high concentration as a result microdroplets of oil and other liquid and particulate matter may coat the divider 108 and passageways 124 as the gases come in contact therewith the microdroplets may accumulate in a first area 300 defined by a lower portion.
