Question
What is the deference between Coalescor and Separator in filtration systems?


Answer
I am not sure I know a detailed technical answer to your question.  However, I believe a coalescer is a specific type of separator which uses the physical properties of droplets (small droplets coalescing into larger droplets) to separate immiscible liquids using gravity settling.
