1. A system, comprising:
a liquid-gas separator including, a substantially planar body configured to be seated in a fluid flow to separate a flow of liquid from the fluid flow;
one or more apertures disposed in the body configured to collect the flow of liquid; and
one or more diverters integrally formed on or in the body configured to divert the flow of liquid towards the one or more apertures;
wherein the one or more diverters includes a pair of ramps angled oblique to a longitudinal axis of the planar body and diverging away from the planar body configured to direct the fluid flow up and over the pair of ramps and to separate the flow of liquid from the fluid flow and divert the flow of liquid between the pair of ramps.
