Abstract

A centrifugal oil separator which includes a disk separator disposed in a housing and has a plurality of spaced disks between which paths of flow for a gas to be cleaned are provided. The paths of flow connect an intake space located at the radial exterior of the disk separator with an inner, axial discharge channel. The intake space is supplied with pressurized gas via a rotation element that is configured as a compressor wheel and that is disposed in the area of an axial end face of the disk separator.
