Separating Element for Separating Liquids from a Gas Flow

A separating element for separating at least one liquid from a gas flow, wherein the separating element is adapted to be arranged in a separating container of a liquid separator, wherein the separating container comprises a housing with a container opening and a cover adapted to close off the container opening, wherein the separating element comprises:

• a monolithically embodied collar adapted to be arranged between the housing and the cover of the separating container and to be supported on an upper area of the housing facing the cover;
• a sealing element comprising sealing surfaces adapted to be arranged between the upper area of the housing and the cover such that the separating container is sealed by the sealing element relative to ambient pressure;
• the sealing element comprising at least one holding element that is monolithically formed with the sealing element, wherein the at least one holding element captively secures the sealing element on the collar;
• the sealing surfaces and the at least one holding element designed such that a function of sealing the separating container and a function of holding the sealing element on the collar are separate from each other.
