Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular filter that absorbs ethylene or other gases for refrigerated transport containers, formed by a cylindrical tube of plastic mesh (2) with hermetic caps (3) at both ends, which contains granules that absorb ethylene or other gases, the mesh (2) having a structural configuration formed by an inner crown (20) having a circular filament (201), and an outer crown (21) having a wing-shaped filament (211), the base thereof being wider than the distal end thereof, thereby facilitating the entry of air flow into the tube. It further comprises a support accessory (4) fixed in the container for which the filter (1) is intended, and it has an aerodynamic shape that helps to increase air flow through the filter (1) and liquid collection means.
