Abstract

A system for purifying as includes at least one housing (2) having a first chamber (6) into which the gas to be purified can flow, and a second chamber (10) forming a filter chamber, out of which the purified gas exits and with a filter device through which the gas can flow. The filter device has filter media (54) for separating out solid particles and for dehumidifying the gas for precipitating coalesced fluid. The first chamber (6) has a cyclone (60) for pre-dehumidifying the gas, from which dirt particles and fluids can be discharged into a third chamber (14) of the housing (2). The housing (2) is composed of an upper housing part (8) with the second chamber (10) forming the filter chamber, a middle housing part (4) with a first chamber (6) having the cyclone (60), and a lower housing part (12) forming the third chamber (14), that can be clamped together by at least one tensioning bolt (32), forming a closed pressure vessel.
