Device for separating fluids contained in gaseous media, in particular oil from gas fuels for combustion engines

The device has a housing (1) including an inflow area (61) separated from a fluid collection area (67) and a filter area by separation elements (39, 57). An exhaust connection (15) and other collection areas (36, 53) are connected to a clean side (33) of a filter element (31). Fluid separated at the filter element flows into the former collection area by a gravitational effect. A housing input (19) guided into the inflow area is directed tangential to an inner wall (65) of the inflow area such that spin flow causing fluid separation by centrifugal forces is produced in the inflow area.
