A filtering element adapted to be used in a fluid recirculation system for an air conditioning system and/or a system for cooling a battery assembly, the filtering element comprising:
- a tubular body having a hollow tubular end portion connected to a filtering portion, the filtering portion having a hollow tubular body with which there is associated a filtering member,
- wherein the hollow tubular end portion and the hollow tubular body of the filtering portion are connected to each other without interruption, the filtering member forming a single body with said hollow tubular end portion and said hollow tubular body, and
- wherein said hollow tubular end portion comprises a tubular stiff body having a radial outer collar which partitions such tubular stiff body into two parts adapted to directly cooperate with ducts of said recirculation system.
