Abstract: A device for reducing a carbon dioxide and water content in an enclosed air volume has first and second sorption units for sorbing carbon dioxide and water. The first and second sorption units can be transferred from a sorption mode into a desorption mode and vice versa. In the sorption mode, the first and second sorption units sorb carbon dioxide and water from raw air of the enclosed air volume. In the desorption mode, the first and second desorption units desorb carbon dioxide and water to supplied regeneration air. An air distribution device can switch the first and second sorption units, based on the carbon dioxide and water content, alternately from sorption mode into desorption mode such that, in at least one operating state of the device, one of the first and second sorption units is in sorption mode while the other is in desorption mode.

Abstract: A valve has a valve housing with a valve seat and a valve body holder with a fluid-permeable flow opening. A valve body is arranged in the valve body holder and axially displaceable between an open state and a closed state of the valve. The valve body has an envelope surface with a sealing region for fluid-tightly contacting the valve seat in the closed state. It has a base region adjoining the sealing region in longitudinal direction. A cross section contour of the envelope surface increases monotonously from the sealing region to the base region. In the open state, an axial end of the base region contacts the valve body holder. The envelope surface has a weakened region connecting sealing region and base region to each other. The weakened region has a reduced stiffness along the longitudinal direction. The valve body is formed of a thermoplastic polyhalogen olefin.

Abstract: A unit (10) for the regulation or control of a fluid pressure, having at least one housing section (13, 14) and a switching film (22) connected to the at least one housing section (13, 14) for switching at pressure differentials relative to an ambient pressure acting on the switching film (22), and for the regulation, release or blocking of a flow of the fluid between an inlet (28) and a discharge (30) for the fluid. The switching film (22) is made out of a polymer material having fluorine and carbon, in particular a thermoplastic having fluorine and carbon. In this arrangement, a hole cross-section (40) of the at least one housing section (13, 14) is closed off by the switching film (22).

Abstract: A degassing unit to be connected fluid-tightly to a pressure compensation opening of an electronics housing has a base body with gas passage opening. A semipermeable membrane, fastened fluid-tightly to a membrane carrier, allows gaseous media to pass from an environment into the electronics housing and in reverse but prevents passage of liquid media and solids. In normal operation, the membrane covers the gas passage opening. An axial seal circumferentially extends about the gas passage opening. The membrane carrier is moveable relative to the base body and, in normal operation, is pressed by axial force seal-tightly against the axial seal. The membrane carrier, when a predetermined pressure difference between housing interior and environment is surpassed, lifts off the base body to release an emergency degassing opening surrounding the membrane. The axial seal is a lip seal and made of a material softer than a material of the membrane carrier.

Abstract: A unit for the regulation for control of a fluid pressure, having at least one housing section and a switching film connected to the at least one housing section. A chemically inert, non-rubber-like PTFEswitching film switching film is disposed in the valve housing and switches at pressure differences of 1 mbar to 250 mbar for regulating, opening or blocking a flow of a fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The switching film is formed of a fluorine and carbon containing polymer material. The switching film has a plate-shaped flat body with a bending region and has a central closure region surrounded by the bending region. The bending region, when switching the switching film, moves the central closure region relative to a valve seat of the valve housing in an axial direction of the plate-shaped flat body toward or away from the valve seat by a stretch free or low-stretch bending movement.

Abstract: A filter housing has a first housing part with a first rim section and a second housing part with a second rim section. The housing parts can be joined and separated from each other in axial mounting direction and define a housing interior for a filter element provided with a circumferentially extending sealing element. The first and second rim sections form a receiving area in which the sealing element is seal-tightly clamped radially between the first and second rim sections when the housing parts are joined in the mounted state. A snap connecting device axially braces the first and second housing parts relative to each other. The snap connecting device is formed integrally on the first and second housing parts such that a clamping force applied by the first and second rim sections on the sealing element in radial direction is decoupled from the snap connecting device.
