Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel filter component containing a heating device for heating a fluid; a detection device for detecting a level of a further fluid, located in a reservoir; and an outlet conduit for the further fluid. The component is a one-piece component, in particular the heating device, detection device, and outlet conduit are embodied. The present invention further relates to a fluid filter, in particular a fuel filter, having such a component.

Abstract: Disclosed is a filter device having a filter element disposed in a filter housing and a heater for heating a medium flowing through the filter device. The heater is disposed in the interior of the filter housing and is mounted on the filter element.

Abstract: Disclosed is a filter device (10), particularly a liquid filter, comprising a filter element (16) that is disposed in a filter housing (12, 14) and a heater (28) for heating medium flowing through the filter device (10). The inventive filter device (10) is characterized in that the heater (28) is designed with at least one heating circuit (30) that is molded into the filter housing (12, 14). Alternatively or additionally, the heater (28) is designed with at least one heating circuit (30) which is provided with an electrical contact (34) in at least one of the final zones thereof, said electrical contact (34) being riveted to the heating circuit (28).

Abstract: A fuel filter having a filter element for filtering out particles and water from a fuel flowing through the fuel filter and having a water drainage unit for conveying filtered-out water out of the fuel filter, in which the water drainage unit is embodied as a stand-alone unit that may be separated from the filter element as needed. Also a semipermeable membrane that is permeable to water rests flat on a support. Alternatively or in addition, the water drainage unit is provided with a porous element for the evaporation of the separated water. In another embodiment two water-permeable semipermeable and hydrophilic membranes are provided. Finally, the filter element is embodied essentially in the form of a hollow cylinder in which at least part of the water drainage unit may be situated on the interior of the hollow cylinder.
