Abstract: A filtration plate (1, 1?) for a particle filter which serves to separate particles from an exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine is composed of a gas-permeable carrier material which is coated with sintered metal powder, and has a surface region (2) which extends substantially in one plane and on which at least one spacer element (3, 3?) is situated. The at least one spacer element (3, 3?) has an inner elevation (9) or depression (9?) which extends away from the surface region (2) in one direction, and an outer depression (10) or elevation (10?) which surrounds the inner elevation (9) or depression (9?) at least partially and extends away from the surface region (2) in the opposite direction to the inner elevation (9) or depression (9?).

Abstract: The invention relates to a filter plate for a particulate filter which serves to separate particulates out of an exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine. A filter plate for a particulate filter which serves to separate particulates out of an exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine is proposed, which filter plate is composed of a substrate material, which is permeable to gas and is coated with a sintered metal powder, and has a surface region which extends substantially in a plane. It is provided according to the invention that the surface region (2) is provided with alternating linear depressions (3) and elevations (4), with a section (2a) of the planar surface region (2) remaining at least between two successive depressions (3) or elevations (4). The filter plate is suitable for the construction of a particulate filter which serves to separate particulates out of an exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A particulate filter for separating particulates out of an exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine has a filter body with an inflow region and an outflow region. The filter body is formed by alternately arranged inflow ducts that are open toward the inflow region and are closed toward the outflow region, and outflow ducts that are open toward the outflow region and closed toward the inflow region. The filter body has a plurality of substantially planar filter plates arranged parallel to one another. Each of the inflow ducts and the outflow ducts is formed by adjacent filter plates, and is arranged in a housing. The inflow ducts are open at at least one of their lateral regions in such a way that the inflow region extends over at least two sides of the filter body. At least one sealing element is provided for sealing off the filter body in the outflow region relative to the housing.
