The intermediate section () has an extension din a direction x transversely to the flow direction, which is essentially larger than the extension d, dof the first and the second channel section. The filter further comprises a separating member () arranged in the intermediate section. The intermediate section and the separating member are arranged so that at least one bent passage () for the cooling water formed between the separating member and the wall of the intermediate section.
