A device for separating fluid mixtures, in particular for separating water from oil, includes a vacuum container ( 10 ) with several sub-chambers ( 26, 44, 40 ). At least one liquid constituent of the fluid mixture can be transported from the vacuum container after separation, by a transport device ( 12 ). The other constituents can be extracted from the vacuum container ( 10 ) in the form of gas and/or steam, using a vacuum pump ( 20 ). One of the sub-chambers ( 26 ) of the vacuum container ( 10 ) houses a heating device ( 28, 30 ), which heats the fluid mixture. The fluid mixture is guided into an additional sub-chamber ( 40 ), and is separated into its constituents by traversing a packed bed. Even cold and consequently viscous fluid mixtures can be supplied, due to the heating device, for separation inside the aforementioned vacuum container.
