Abstract:
A filter element for filtering a fluid has a filter body with a filter medium folded in a zigzag shape with folds extending in a fold direction. The filter body has an end edge bonding which seals fold ends of the folds. The filter body has an outer contour with recesses. The end edge bonding, in a region of the recesses of the outer contour of the filter body, is embodied discontinuously. The end edge bonding has at least one outwardly positioned first bonding segment and an inwardly positioned second bonding segment, viewed in the fold direction. The inwardly positioned second bonding segment, in a transverse direction relative to the fold direction, is arranged at a spacing to the at least one outwardly positioned first bonding segment. The at least one outwardly positioned first bonding segment and the inwardly positioned second bonding segment bond at least one common fold.
Abstract:
A filter element (10) is provided with open filter body (16) of a filter medium (18). The filter element (10) has at least one longitudinal mating surface (40) which is directed with at least one direction component axially to an element axis (14) of the filter element (10) and which is in contact with a corresponding longitudinal mating surface of the filter housing (11) for securing the filter element (10) axially to the element axis (14). The filter element (10) has at least one transverse retaining surface (52) which is directed with at least one direction component across the element axis (14). The transverse retaining surface (52) is separated from the at least one longitudinal retaining surface (40) and may be in contact with a corresponding transverse mating surface (56) of the filter housing (11) for securing the filter element (10) across the element axis (14).
Abstract:
A smart multi-modal vehicular air filtration management system including a first filter element and a second filter element disposed in a fresh air housing, wherein the fresh air housing has an inlet and an outlet. Additionally, a third filter element is provided which is disposed in a cabin housing, the cabin housing having one or more inlet. A fluid channel arranged between the fresh air and cabin housing. Finally, a diverter is included which is disposed near an outlet of the fresh air housing, wherein the diverter is configured to cause air to flow through the fresh air housing selectively through one or both of the first filter element and the second filter element.
Abstract:
A filter for fluid, in particular an air filter, in particular for an internal combustion engine, in particular in a motor vehicle, a filter housing (11) of a filter and a filter element (10), in particular a flat filter element of a filter are described. The filter housing (11) has at least one inlet and at least one outlet for the fluid. The filter element (10) with open filter bellows (16) made of a filter medium (18) that has an oncoming flow side (28) and an outgoing flow side (30) for the fluid to be filtered in the filter housing (11) in such a way that it separates the at least one inlet from the at least one outlet. The filter element (10) comprises at least one longitudinal mating surface (40) which is directed with at least one direction component axially to an element axis (14) of the filter element (10) and which is in contact with a corresponding longitudinal mating surface of the filter housing (11) for securing the filter element (10) axially to the element axis (14). The filter element (10) comprises at least one transverse retaining surface (52) which is directed with at least one direction component across the element axis (14). The transverse retaining surface (52) is separated from the at least one longitudinal retaining surface (40). The transverse retaining surface (52) may be in contact with a corresponding transverse mating surface (56) of the filter housing (11) for securing the filter element (10) across the element axis (14).
Abstract:
A water separator including a flow-conducting interior, and a water outlet connected to the flow-conducting interior, the water outlet including a throttle element that is inserted in the water outlet and configured to conduct water flow into the throttle element. The throttle element includes a first channel section including a conical section tapering in a direction of the water flow into the first channel section, a constriction directly connected to an output of the first channel section, the constriction including a cylindrical section, and a cylindrical channel section directly connected to an output of the constriction, the cylindrical channel section having a cross-section that is larger than a cross-section of the constriction.
