A B S T R A C T An air cooler and cleaner is disclosed for cool- ing compressed-air, for removing moisture, and for re- moving lubricant oil, solid particles and other contaminants. The apparatus includes a tubular aluminum housing and an upper housing-closure and a lower housing- closure. Sheet-aluminum cooling fins having housing- receiving openings and cylindrical spacer and heat- conductor collars around said openings are heat-shrunk onto the housing in firm thermally-conductive contact therewith and spacing the fins in relation to each other. A swirl-chamber is provided in the lower portion of the housing and a cooling-chamber is provided in the upper portion of the housing. The swirl-chamber has a tangential air-inlet for rapidly spinning the air therein. An inverted cylindrical cup-like air-director is located within the cooling-chamber for directing the air against and along the wall of the cooling-chamber in a thin layer. A funnel-like member including a flange is located a short distance below the air-director for separating the swirl-chamber from the cooling-chamber and having a central opening and an air-riser-tube extending down from said opening into the swirl-chamber to a substantial depth thereof. An air-outlet port is pro- vided in the upper closure for the discharge of the cooled and cleaned air. A filter is provided in the upper end of the tubular housing through which the com- pressed-air passes. A contaminant drain-opening is pro- vided in the swirl-chamber and an automatic drain valve is connected with the drain-opening.
