Abstract
A filter muffler includes a front element, a rear element, and a plurality of damping elements arranged between the front element and the rear element, where the damping elements are arranged radially around a central axis of the filter muffler such that a flow channel is formed between adjacent damping elements, where respective outflow-side ends of the damping elements have a diffuser element which has an outflow-side tapering, and where an angle α between two opposite sides of the diffuser element is selected from a range of 1°≤α≤8°.

A filter muffler arranged on an intake side of a compressor of an exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine, the filter muffler comprising:
- a front element,
- a rear element, and
- a plurality of damping elements arranged between the front element and the rear element,
- wherein the damping elements are arranged radially around a central axis of the filter muffler such that a flow channel is formed between adjacent damping elements, wherein respective outflow-side ends of the damping elements have a diffuser element which has an outflow-side tapering toward the central axis, wherein the outflow-side tapering is continuous and meets to form the outflow-side ends, and wherein an angle α between two opposite sides of the diffuser element is selected from a range of 1°≤α≤8°.
