Air-Guiding Component

A filter component (1) for a pipe system (2, 3), for an intake pipe system for gaseous media used in an aspirating fire-detection or air-monitoring system (30), wherein the filter component (1) has a housing (7) having a gas inlet (12a) and a gas outlet (12b), wherein the housing (7) is designed to accommodate at least one filter element (5) in its housing interior, and at least one filter element (5) accommodated in the housing interior wherein the gas inlet (12a) and the gas outlet (12b) are fluidically connectable to the pipe system (2, 3) to form a flow path extending from the gas inlet (12a) to the gas outlet (12b) in the housing interior, wherein in a normal operating mode (24) of the filter component (1), the flow path extending from the gas inlet (12a) to the gas outlet (12b) runs at least partially through the at least one filter element (5) accommodated in the housing interior, and wherein furthermore a connecting region is provided for the fluidic connection of the housing interior to a maintenance/cleaning device (22) if needed or, wherein

• in a maintenance/cleaning operating mode (26) of the filter component (1), in which the pipe system (2, 3) fluidically connectable to the gas inlet (12a) or the gas outlet (12b) or the filter component (1) is to be cleaned or maintained, the housing interior is fluidically connected to the maintenance/cleaning device (22), while simultaneously a fluidic connection implementable via the gas outlet (12b) is disconnected, or while simultaneously a fluidic connection implementable via the gas inlet (12a) is disconnected 2, wherein
• the connecting region has a fitting (6) provided in or on a wall region (11) of the housing (7), via which the housing interior is fluidically connectable to the maintenance/cleaning device (22) if needed or optionally, wherein the wall region (11), in or on which the fitting (6) is provided, is embodied as a wall region (11) of a first component (10) detachably connectable to the housing (7), wherein the wall region (11) of the first component (10) is designed to close a housing opening provided in the housing (7), and
• wherein at least one shutoff element (16) is associated with the gas inlet (12a) for the disconnection of a fluidic connection implementable via the gas inlet (12a) between the pipe system (2, 3) and the housing interior if needed or optionally;
• or
• wherein at least one shutoff element (16) is associated with the gas outlet (12b) for the disconnection of a fluidic connection implementable via the gas outlet (12b) between the housing interior and the pipe system (2, 3) if needed.
