An apparatus for separating an oil aerosol from air, including a separating element which is configured as an annular coalescer which coalesces the oil or oil mist in a known manner into larger oil drops which settle by gravity in the separating element and downstream therefrom. The separating element is disposed in a housing and fastened to a flanged piece, the flange piece including an adapter element to which additional flanged pieces and/or connecting lines for supplying and carrying away the air are attached.
