  • Publication number: 20240075418
    Abstract: A filter system for filtering a fluid has a filter housing with housing top part and housing bottom part, wherein the housing top and bottom parts extend along a housing axis. A filter pack arranged in the filter housing separates fluid-tightly a clean fluid side and a raw fluid side from each other. The filter pack has a filter element with a hollow cylinder-type filter bellows arranged about a longitudinal axis of the filter element. The filter element has a first substantially closed end face and a first end disk arranged thereat, wherein the first end disk is positioned opposite a second end disk of the filter element. The second end disk has a fluid passage for filtered fluid. A resonator with an end closed by a bottom is arranged inside the filter pack such that the bottom is oriented toward the first end disk of the filter element.

  • Publication number: 20240075419
    Abstract: A filter element for a filter system has a hollow cylinder-type filter bellows with an end face and a substantially closed bottom provided thereat. At least one resonator structure provided at the bottom provides noise attenuation of a flowing fluid. The resonator structure has two or more grooves arranged at an outer side of the bottom and separated from each other by a partition. At least one of the grooves is connected in fluid communication through an opening to an interior of the filter element. The resonator structure, when installed in a filter housing of the filter system as intended, seals tightly relative to a complementary resonator structure of the filter housing. The grooves are connected in fluid communication through connection openings arranged in the resonator structure of the filter element and/or the complementary resonator structure of the filter housing. A filter system with such a filter element is provided.

  • Patent number: 10688427
    Abstract: A filter element has a filter bellows with circumferential seal having a seal region and a fastening region with radial and axial fastening sections. The radial fastening section has a holding surface facing away from the filter bellows and engaging a radially inner pressure-exerting section of a housing. The axial fastening section provides a radially inner boundary of a circumferential groove of the seal region that receives a radially outer pressure-exerting section of the housing. A seal projection forms a radially outer boundary of the groove. The seal region has an axially acting sealing surface opposite the groove axially spaced farther from an axial filter bellows end face than the holding surface. Axial spacing between groove base and axially acting sealing surface is greater than a spacing between a transition of the groove base into the axial fastening section and a transition of the holding surface into the seal region.
