A centrifugal separator for cleaning gas containing liquid impurities includes a stationary casing, enclosing a separation space through which a gas flow is permitted. The stationary casing includes a surrounding side wall, a first end wall and a second end wall. An inlet extends through the stationary casing and permits supply of the gas to be cleaned. A rotating member includes a stack of separation disks rotatable around an axis of rotation. A drive member rotates the rotating member. A gas outlet permits discharge of cleaned gas, and includes an outlet opening through the side wall. A drainage outlet permits discharge of liquid impurities separated from the gas. The outlet opening is positioned opposite to the stack of separation disks.
