First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A separation device comprising a hollow cylindrical detachable outer housing sealed at a top side by a top end cap and at a bottom side by a bottom end cap wherein the hollow cylindrical detachable outer housing further comprises a plurality of housing outer wall detachable segments connected together by at least one catch element and at least one receiving element, a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, an inner housing enclosed within the hollow cylindrical detachable outer housing, and a filling connection for a separation medium tangentially attached to the inner housing at a side thereof and arranged tangentially to, and enclosed within, the hollow cylindrical detachable outer housing. 2. The separation device according to claim 1 , characterized in that a hose line for filling the separation device is mounted on the filling connection. 3. The separation device according to claim 1 , characterized in that each of the top end cap and the bottom end cap has radially displaced therein the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, respectively. 4. The separation device according to claim 3 , characterized in that the top and bottom end caps are attached to the inner housing in such a way that the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet point in a predetermined direction arranged in the same plane. 5. The separation device according to claim 4 , characterized in that mounting elements locking the top and bottom end caps in place are provided on the inner housing. 6. The separation device according to claim 5 , characterized in that receiving elements are provided in an edge area of the top and bottom end caps formed as recesses or indentations in the top and bottom end caps to receive the mounting elements provided on the inner housing. 7. The separation device according to claim 3 , characterized in that a hose line for filling the separation device is mounted on the filling connection. 8. The separation device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the detachable segments are clamped or locked between the top and bottom end caps.
