Abstract
Example filters are disclosed herein. In an example, the filter includes a housing including a central axis, an inlet, and an outlet. The central axis extends perpendicularly to a fluid flow direction at the outlet. In addition, the filter includes an outlet flow path defined within the housing that extends angularly about the central axis to the outlet. Further, the filter includes a first plurality of vanes extending from a radially outer surface of the outlet flow path.
