Abstract: A filter arrangement includes: a filter element in a first filter stage, the filter element having a filter material for filtering an air stream; a housing for receiving the filter element; and a circumferential gel seal arranged between the filter element and the housing in order to seal the filter element from the housing.

Abstract: A filter element includes: a filter frame; a bellows of a filter medium accommodated in the filter frame; and a seal externally circumferential on the filter frame. At least one filter-side mechanical encoding element in integrated in the seal. The at least one filter-side encoding element is a recess in the seal, the recess being a groove, a notch, or a trough. The seal has a reduced height in a region of the filter-side encoding element. The seal is a radial seal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a ventilation system for indoor air in an indoor space, in particular a motor vehicle. The method comprises the steps of: providing a fresh air portion of supplied fresh air and a recirculated air volume flow according to a predetermined or selected operating strategy; determining settings for a recirculated air actuator for adjusting a fresh air portion, in particular a recirculated air flap or a recirculated air valve, and a fan power of a fan for adjusting a mixed air volume flow (QM) of supplied recirculated and fresh air; increasing the fresh air portion and/or the mixed air volume flow (QM) as a function of a pathogen filtration efficiency of a cabin filter and a predetermined contamination prevention volume flow as a pathogenic indoor concentration limit value (CP) for a maximum concentration of pathogenic aerosols.

Abstract: A filter element includes: a frame having a peripheral elastomer body in which a reinforcement element is embedded; and a filter pocket. The frame is connected to an opening in the filter pocket with a connection established integrally by the elastomer body. In an embodiment, the elastomer body is molded on the filter pocket.

Abstract: A filter element for the filtration of the incoming cabin air of vehicles is disclosed. The filter element can be readily regenerated and reused in a dust-loaded environment. The filer element includes a main body formed from at least one filter medium. The main body has an inflow side and an outflow side. The filter element is used as a regenerable filter element for the filtration of the incoming cabin air in a vehicle which is subjected to elevated dust loading. A coating of nanofibers and/or a diaphragm is arranged on the inflow side of the main body.

Abstract: A filter cartridge has a filter medium that is formed in such a way that it surrounds a central through-passage, wherein the central through-passage has a first opening and ends at a cartridge base, and wherein the filter medium extends between the first opening and the cartridge base and thereby forms an elongated filter body, which may influence the average ascent speed of air and bring about an optimum filtration operation, wherein the filter medium is rectangular or square-shaped at one end of the filter cartridge and is rounded at the other end.

Abstract: A filter element has an, as far as possible, long-term connection between a seal and the frame of the filter element, a filter element having a frame which is assigned a seal is wherein the frame is assigned a mount , in which the seal is accommodated, and fixed, in a form-fitting manner.

Abstract: A filter cartridge includes a filter medium configured as an elongated bellows having a first and a second longitudinal end. The bellows are connected at the first longitudinal end to a base and at the second longitudinal end to a top. The bellows enclose a central passage. The bellows are configured in a shape of a prism.
