  • Publication number: 20250367585
    Abstract: A filter element for fluid has a filter medium body with a flow-through medium arranged transversely to a fluid flow direction. A region of the flow-through medium between an inlet surface and an outlet surface of the filter medium body is filled with adsorption medium in intermediate spaces of the flow-through medium. A fluid-permeable cover medium covers the region at a peripheral rim of the inlet surface and/or the outlet surface. A filter system has a filter housing having an inlet and an outlet for fluid. The filter element is exchangeably arranged in the filter housing between a raw-side and a clean-side. A method for producing the filter element includes filling adsorption medium into intermediate spaces of the flow-through medium between an inlet surface and an outlet surface. The region is covered with a fluid-permeable cover medium at a peripheral rim of the inlet surface and/or the outlet surface.

  • Publication number: 20250345734
    Abstract: A filter element for filtering a fluid has two or more axially extending filter medium bodies arranged to be sequentially flowed through radially and including a first and a second filter medium body. The first filter medium body has an outer diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the second filter medium body, is arranged radially inside the second filter medium body, and has a section projecting axially away from the second filter medium body. A casing is arranged at an outer wall surface of the projecting section and extends at least partially circumferentially around the outer wall surface. The casing fluid-impermeably closes at least temporarily the outer wall surface. The first filter medium body is a particle filter and the second filter medium body is an adsorption filter, or vice versa. A filter system is provided with such a filter element for filtering a fluid.
