Rotatingly Driven Filter Element with Contactless Seal

A self-propelled working machine comprising a rotatingly driven filter element for filtering incoming inflow air, the filter element arranged in a machine part of the self-propelled working machine upstream of an intake chamber of a cooling system of the self-propelled working machine or of a combustion air distribution device of an internal combustion engine of the self-propelled working machine, the filter element comprising:

• a rim area comprising a circumferentially extending section comprising air guiding elements oriented toward and projecting into the intake chamber, wherein the rim area is positioned at a minimal spacing relative to the machine part and an air gap is formed between the rim area and the machine part;
• wherein the air guiding elements are configured to guide purified inflow air out of the intake chamber into a region of the air gap to effect a sealing action of the air gap.
