Separating device for separating at least one liquid from gas, featuring - at least one fluid outlet channel designed for discharging the separated liquid from the separating device, - at least one connecting element designed for connecting a separating element of the separating device to a connecting means and - the separating element with a housing and at least one filter element (10, 20) disposed therein and with a housing cover designed for closing a front face of the housing with -- at least one first gas passage, which is disposed centrally, in particular coaxially, with respect to an assembly axis of the separating element at the connecting means, -- a thread allocated to the first gas passage, wherein this housing cover thread is designed to be screwed onto a thread of the connecting element and -- at least one second gas passage, which is disposed radially outside the first gas passage with respect to the assembly axis of the separating element, wherein - the housing cover thread and the connecting element thread are substantially tightly connected to one another in the position of use of the separating device and - the fluid outlet channel is disposed inside the connecting element. characterized in that - the filter element (10, 20) features a front face extending radially with respect to the assembly axis of the separating element and facing the housing cover, which front face is limited by a first end disc, - the first end disc features a through-opening designed for allowing passage of the connecting element and allocated to the first gas passage, wherein the through-opening is limited by a radially inner peripheral area of the first end disc with respect to the assembly axis of the separating element, - at least one sealing and damping element for sealing a clean side of the separating element from a raw side of the housing containing unfiltered fluid and for damping axially directed oscillations of the filter element (10, 20) with respect to the assembly axis of the separating element is sealingly compressed between the filter element (10, 20) and the interior side of the housing cover facing the interior area of the housing, and - the connecting element and the first end disc, in particular the connecting element and the through-opening, in particular the connecting element and a radially inner, in particular circular peripheral area are contactless in the position of use of the separating device in such a way that the housing cover thread and the interior area of the filter element (10, 20) are fluidly connected in a throttled manner. -
