Abstract: A moisture collector (10) for collecting moisture from moisture containing air exiting from an air conditioning system in substantially a first flow direction is disclosed. The collector comprises a moisture collector housing (12) defining a volume. An inlet (14) extends into the volume for receiving the moisture containing air from the air conditioning system while substantially moving in the first flow direction. An outlet (16) extends out of the volume for exhausting substantially moisture free air. A device for redirecting the moisture containing air is positioned within the volume and upstream of the outlet. At the device, moisture is removed from the moisture containing air for forming the substantially moisture free air. An air passageway is defined in the volume for directing the substantially moisture free air from the device for redirecting toward the outlet along with the moisture. A volume for collecting the moisture (22) is provided. A device is positioned in the air passageway in the path of the moisture free air for directing the moisture moving with the moisture free air into the volume for collecting downstream of the outlet.
