Abstract: An air filter element for an air filter may include a first end plate and a second end plate spaced apart from each other in an axial direction and configured to bound the filter element in the axial direction. The first filter body may be arranged axially between the first and second end plates. A second filter body may be arranged axially between the first and second end plates. An intermediate plate may be arranged axially between the first and second filter bodies and have an intermediate plate area enclosed by an intermediate outer contour and a first end plate area enclosed by a first outer contour.

Abstract: A filter element may include a first end disc, a second end disc, a filter medium arranged between the first and second end discs, wherein the first and second end discs are spaced by a filter medium. A third end disc may connect the first and second end discs and be arranged obliquely to at least one of the first end disc and the second end disc. The third end disc may include at least one of an inlet and outlet.

Abstract: A catch box may include two air intake sections of an air intake system, wherein the catch box is embodied as water separator at the same time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for ventilating a crankcase of an internal combustion engine, comprising a ventilation line leading from the crankcase to the suction line of the internal combustion engine, an oil-mist separator (2) for separating the oil parts from the blow-by-gases containing the oil-mist from the crankcase is arranged in the path thereof. Also, said device (1) comprises a pump (3) which is arranged upstream of the oil-mist separator (2) and which is used to produce a negative pressure. The invention is characterized in that the oil-mist separator (2) and the pump (3) are embodied as connected modules thus providing a particularly compact structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating a gas-liquid mixture, in which the liquid portion exists in the form of small particles, especially for ventilating a crankcase of an internal combustion engine, by separating and coagulating the liquid particles on a target area. The liquid mixture, after acceleration in acceleration openings provided for this purpose, impacts the target area at an approximately right angle. The aim of the invention is to improve the aforementioned device in such a manner that it allows as high a degree of separation as possible for different sized volume flows of mixtures. For this purpose, the number and/or the cross-sections of the acceleration openings is varied, depending on the volume flow of mixtures, between a small complete cross-section for a low volume flow and a large complete cross-section for a large volume flow.

Abstract: A centrifugal oil mist separator device integrated into an axially hollow camshaft of an internal combustion engine should permit a good separation effect. To this end, a device is provided whereby the camshaft (101) is provided on a first end with radial oil mist inlet openings (106) for oil mist to be introduced into the axially hollow space (102) in the camshaft (101) and on the second end, for discharge with a radial oil discharge channel (112) for oil separated as liquid phase on the one hand and with an axial gas discharge channel (113) on the other hand for oil mist stream remaining after the liquid component has been separated, a centrifugal oil mist pre-separator is provided upstream from the radial oil mist inlet openings (106) as a pre-separator (107) fixedly connected to the camshaft (101), and within the axially hollow space (102) in the camshaft (101) a spiral flow generating device (108) is provided as the final separator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a carbon-enriched material for hydrocarbon adsorption, which exhibits at least one base material and carbon as the integrated filler. It is here essential to the invention for the product to exhibit a base material consisting of plastic and carbon as the filler. The invention also relates to the use of a carbon-enriched paper (2) in an intake tract of a motor vehicle.
