The water outlet opening discharges water out of the separating space. An air conditioner is connected to the air outlet opening to feed air from the water box into the air conditioner. An air feeding unit sucks the air into the air conditioner via the air inlet opening. The air feeding unit is designed as a suction fan. The water box comprises a wall that comprises fibers forming a non-woven fabric i.e. felt.
