Separator for liquids, in particular condensate, from liquid-loaded compressed gases

A separator for liquids from liquid-laden compressed gases, in which a separator element is arranged in a pot-shaped housing with a collecting space, located at the bottom of the housing, for the separated liquid and a head piece, formed as lid with a gas inlet pipe and a gas outlet pipe, wherein the separator element is formed as a hollow cylinder closed at the bottom by a base cap, which is located at a distance from a wall of the housing and at the top with an adapter cap is connected to a discharge opening of the gas inlet pipe, and that a wall of the hollow cylinder of the separator element has a plurality of profile strips, arranged on concentric cylinders of different sizes and with a gap between one another and parallel to the hollow cylinder axis, which as guiding and impact bodies form flow chicanes for the liquid-laden compressed gases, which are introduced from the gas inlet pipe via the adapter cap into an interior of the separator element and from here are guided in a radial direction to the outside by means of the flow chicanes into a space between the wall of the housing and the separator element.
