Abstract
A filter element of a filter device for filtering a fluid may include a ring-shaped filter body from a filter material. The filter body may enclose an interior space in the circumferential direction. A main port may be fluidically connected to the interior space and an auxiliary port may also be fluidically connected to the interior space. The filter body may include a duct that extends axially and is radially open. The auxiliary port may be arranged in a region of the duct.
Claims19
A filter element of a filter device for filtering a fluid, comprising:
- a ring-shaped filter body from a filter material, said filter body having an axis and enclosing an interior space in a circumferential direction,
- a main port fluidically connected to the interior space, and
- an auxiliary port fluidically connected to the interior space,
- wherein the filter body has a duct that extends axially and is radially open, and wherein the duct includes a duct body that has a radially open cross-section profile,
- wherein the auxiliary port is arranged in a region of the duct.
A filter element of a filter device for filtering a fluid, comprising:
- a ring-shaped filter body composed of a filter material, the filter body having an axis and enclosing an interior space in a circumferential direction, wherein the filter body includes a duct that extends axially and is radially open;
- a main port fluidically connected to the interior space;
- and
- an auxiliary port fluidically connected to the interior space, wherein the auxiliary port is arranged in a region of the duct;
- and
- at least one end plate axially bordering the filter body, wherein the main port and the auxiliary port are disposed on the at least one end plate.
A filter element of a filter device for filtering a fluid, comprising:
- a ring-shaped filter body composed of a filter material, the filter body having an axis and enclosing an interior space in a circumferential direction, wherein the filter body includes a duct that extends axially and is radially open towards the interior space;
- a main port fluidically connected to the interior space;
- and
- an auxiliary port fluidically connected to the interior space, wherein the auxiliary port is arranged in a region of the duct;
- and
- an end plate axially bordering the filter body, wherein the auxiliary port is disposed on the end plate, the auxiliary port being axially fed through the end plate to be fluidically connected to the duct.
A filter element of a filter device for filtering a fluid, comprising:
- a ring-shaped filter body composed of a filter material, the filter body having an axis and enclosing an interior space in a circumferential direction, wherein the filter body includes a duct that extends axially and is radially open;
- a main port fluidically connected to the interior space;
- and
- an auxiliary port fluidically connected to the interior space, wherein the auxiliary port is arranged in a region of the duct;
- and
- wherein the duct interrupts in the circumferential direction a contour of the filter body, wherein the contour is formed by the annularly arranged filter material.
A filter element of a filter device for filtering a fluid, comprising:
- a ring-shaped filter body composed of a filter material, the filter body having an axis and enclosing an interior space in a circumferential direction, wherein the filter body includes a duct that extends axially and is radially open towards the outside relative to the interior space;
- a main port fluidically connected to the interior space;
- and
- an auxiliary port fluidically connected to the interior space and arranged in a region of the duct, wherein the auxiliary port is axially fed between the longitudinal ends of the duct through a duct bottom that borders the interior space such that the auxiliary port is radially fluidically connected to the interior space;
- wherein the auxiliary port includes a port end that is remote from the duct bottom and is oriented axially, and wherein the port end is axially fed through a cut-out that is formed in an end plate that axially borders the filter body.
