De-aerator in Oil System

Hi, not_a_mechanic here!

The gearbox is vented through a centrifugal breather, to separate the air/oil mist within it. But their is also a de-aerator that separates air bubbles from the oil supply being returned to the tank, right?? Is this also a centrifugal breather or does the de-aerator work on any other principle?

Looking forward to any response!
