Coalescence filter

A set comprising:

• a filter candle for separating a compressed gas and a disperse phase present therein;
• and
• a bottom cap placed on a lower side of the filter candle, the bottom cap having a bottom side facing away from the filter medium, the bottom side defining a bottom surface,
• wherein the filter candle contains a filter medium, which, looking in the flow direction of the gas, contains a coalescence medium for coalescing the disperse phase and a drainage medium for draining the coalesced disperse phase in a downward direction to the bottom cap for discharging the coalesced disperse phase,
• wherein at least one drainage opening is provided extending through the bottom side of the bottom cap at a position corresponding to the drainage medium for discharging coalesced liquid from the drainage medium,
• wherein the bottom side is provided with a drip-off position that is located at a position shifted relative to the at least one drainage opening to a central part of the bottom cap and at least one drainage profile extending from at least one drainage opening to the drip-off position, the at least one drainage profile being provided for discharging the coalesced disperse phase from the at least one drainage opening to the drip-off position along which the coalesced disperse phase is discharged,
• wherein the at least one drainage profile protrudes from, or is recessed into, the bottom surface of the bottom cap.
