Abstract
A coalescence element is provided with at least one coalescence medium configured to coalesce water contained in a fluid. The at least one coalescence medium is made of a material with a packing density of at most 10%. The coalescence element is embodied as a single layer formed as a cylindrical jacket and has a fluid path for a fluid between an inlet side and an outlet side of the cylindrical jacket. A filter element with a filter bellows and a support pipe arranged coaxially inside the filter bellows is provided with such coalescence element that is arranged between the filter bellows and the support pipe in the flow direction so as to surround the support pipe at a radial outer side.
