Abstract

A filter holder (2) for a filter element (3) has an oval-shaped cross section, a receiving section (19) for a filter element (3), a fluid inlet (24), and a fluid outlet (25). The fluid inlet (24) is arranged such that an inflow direction (E) of the fluid (L) to be filtered is oriented in the direction of a lateral surface (29) of the filter element (3) such that the fluid (L) to be filtered flows tangentially around the filter element (3) in order to separate particles (33) contained in the fluid (L) onto a wall (30) of the receiving section (19) with the aid of centrifugal force.
