Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid separator (17) for a gas flow charged with liquid, having an inner volume (21) which has at least one baffle element (23) and a collection area (24) for the separated liquid. The invention is characterized in that a heat-conducting element (30) made of a material having good heat conductivity is arranged in the collection area (24) and protrudes in the direction of the at least one baffle element (23) into the gas flow (25) in the inner volume (21), wherein the baffle element (23) is made from a material which conducts heat less well than the heat-conducting element (30).
