Abstract: The invention is based on an impactor-separator element (10) for separating fluid droplets (12) from a gas stream, comprising at least one separator means (14a, 14b) having a raw side and a clean side, said separator means (14a, 14b) being designed as a mesh or grid element and being fixed in a holder (16), wherein the holder (16) is designed to position the separator means (14a, 14b) with a shallow angle of attack in the gas stream. It is proposed to provide at least one element (36, 46) arranged in the gas flow upstream of the separation means (14a) for controlling the gas flow impinging on the separation means.

Abstract: A filter comprising a filter housing (10) and a replaceable filter element (12) arranged in the filter housing (10) and having annular upper and lower end members (12a, 12b) and an inner space, wherein the filter housing (10) comprises a housing pot (10a) having a fluid in-let (10e), a fluid outlet and an opening (10b) for inserting the filter element (12). The filter has a support tube (16) extending in the inner space of the filter element (12) and connected to a bottom of the filter housing (10) and a locking member (14), the locking member (14) being adapted to engage the support tube (16) and generate a holding or pushing or pulling force supported on the filter housing via the support tube (16) for holding or pushing or pulling the filter element (12) into or out of the housing bowl (10a).

Abstract: The invention is based on an air filter with a filter element (28), a substantially cylindrical filter housing (12) with an unfiltered air inlet (18) and a filtered air outlet (20) arranged substantially concentrically on a first end face of the filter housing (12), wherein an extension tube (22) projects into the interior of the filter housing (12) at the filtered air outlet (20) and the filter element (28) comprises a first end plate (24) which can be plugged onto the extension tube (22). It is proposed that the first end plate (24) is formed of plastic and comprises a sealing lip (30) formed thereon and projecting radially inwardly, which sealing lip (30) rests against the extension tube (22) in the plugged-on state.
