Abstract: An air filter, including: an openable filter housing having an inlet for air to be cleaned, an outlet for cleaned air, a filter element exchangeably arranged with the filter housing. The filter element includes a filter medium radially surrounding and defining an interior space within the filter element and a support element secured to the filter element. The support element faces away from the filter medium and has a lateral support surface having a cylindrical section and/or a section with a cross section that changes in the direction of the element axis, whose main axis runs axially or parallel to the element axis and with which the support element is supported at least transversely to the element axis against a corresponding support section arranged on a side of the filter housing.

Abstract: A hollow filter element, including: a filter medium (64) for filtering the fluid, the filter medium circumferentially surrounding an element interior space (72) in relation to an element axis (32), forming a conical-oval round filter element; wherein the hollow filter element (18) includes: at least at one outer face facing away from the element interior space (72) at an end face (66); at least one support element (78) configured to support the hollow filter element (18) at a housing-sided support section (42) of a filter housing (12); and at least one fluid passage (81) arranged at the end face (66) in the center of the at least one support element (78), the at least one fluid passage connected to the element interior space (72) for connecting a secondary fluid line connector (45) of a housing-sided secondary fluid line (47) and/or for receiving a housing-sided positioning dome (245).

Abstract: A hollow filter element, including: a filter medium for filtering a fluid; wherein the filter element is a conical-oval rounded filter element; wherein the filter medium circumferentially surrounds an interior flow space of the filter element, wherein the filter medium circumferentially encloses around an element axis such that filter medium at least in one direction radial to the element axis is smaller on a first of the end sides of the filter medium than on a second of the end sides of the filter medium; wherein the filter medium has a first end body arranged at least on the smaller end side; wherein the first end body has at least one leveling element in the at least one direction of the smaller extent with respect to the element axis in a radially outer segment with respect to the element axis.

Abstract: A filter housing of a filter for air, water, fuel, oil or urea-water solution of an internal combustion engine, including: an inlet for fluid to be purified; and an outlet for purified fluid; a hollow filter element including a filter medium for filtering fluid, which surrounds an element interior space with respect to a filter axis, is exchangeably arranged so as to separate the inlet from outlet; wherein the filter housing has at least two housing parts, which can be partly be separated from one another in order to open up an installation opening of the filter housing for the hollow filter element; wherein at least one of the housing parts has connecting tab(s) and at least one other of the housing parts has a tab receptacle(s) adapted to a connecting tab(s) for the insertion of the at least one connecting tab for connecting the housing parts.

Abstract: An intake module of an air intake tract of an internal combustion engine is provided with an intake housing part that has at least one inlet for combustion air to be filtered and an outlet section. A filter housing part with an air filter element that filters the combustion air is provided. The filter housing part has an inlet section and at least one outlet for the filtered combustion air. An air connection between the outlet section of the intake housing part and an inflow side of the air filter element is provided. A fixed intake pipe part is arranged between the outlet section of the intake housing part and the inlet section of the filter housing part. The fixed intake pipe part at least partially forms the air connection between the outlet section of the intake housing part and the inflow side of the air filter element.

Abstract: In a method for producing a fluid guiding element of an air intake system of an engine, a polymer is melted to a melted polymer material. A foam-generating foaming agent is added to the melted polymer material. The melted polymer material together with the foaming agent is molded to a fluid guiding element by forming a polymer foam. Molding is preferably done by injection molding in an injection mold.

Abstract: Disclosed are an air filter element, a filter housing, and an air filter in which the air filter elements have a high filtering capacity and a long service life by increasing the filter surface of an air filter element taking into account structural requirements for the air filter housing.

Abstract: An air filter (10) includes an openable filter housing (12) and a filter element (18). The filter housing (12) includes an inlet (26) and an outlet. A filter element (18) with a filter medium (46) is disposed replaceably in the filter housing separating the inlet (26) from the outlet (22). The filter element (18) features on an exterior side facing away from the element interior space (52) on an axial front face relative to the element axis (32) at least one supporting element (58) having at least one supporting lateral surface (60, 61) with at least one cylindrical portion and/or at least one portion with a variable cross-section in the direction of a main axis. The supporting element (58) is supported at least transversely in relation to the element axis (32) with the at least one supporting lateral surface (60, 61) against at least one corresponding support portion (42) on the side of the filter housing (12).

Abstract: A flap (21) having a flap encompassing frame (11) and provided with first (22) and second (26) flap bearings, in which at least one top part of a housing (16) is fixed to the flap frame by a snap-in connection. A support arm (24) pivotable about the flap axis is arranged on the top part of the housing, and at least one front face (31) of the flap axis is brought into contact with a support surface (30) of the support arm, and a slight air gap of the bearing is adjusted between support surface and the front face, thereby assuring a practically play-free axial mounting of the flap.
