Abstract:
A filter element, especially for filtering exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, having inlet channels that are open at the input end and closed at the output end in the flowthrough direction, and having outlet channels that are closed at the input end and open at the output end in the flowthrough direction, the inlet channels and outlet channels being delimited by filter walls, the profile of at least some of the filter walls of an outer region of the filter element being adapted to the profile of an at least locally curved outer side of the filter element.
Abstract:
Cross-sectional geometries of filter elements for soot particle filters are described, allowing uniform loading of the filter element with soot. Starting with hexagonal cell shapes, other polygonal shapes are arranged around them. All the cross-sectional geometries have in common the fact that the cross-sectional area of all inlet channels is larger than the cross-sectional area of all outlet channels.
Abstract:
A fluid filter has a plurality of inlet channels, a plurality of outlet channels, and filter walls separating the inlet channels from the outlet channels. The inlet channels are parallel to the outlet channels, and the filter walls have a plurality of pores through which the inlet channels are connected to the outlet channels. A cross-sectional area of all inlet channels is larger than a cross-sectional area of all outlet channels, and a value of diameters of the pores of the filter walls calculated by mercury porosimetry being a median value d50, being between 0.01 μm and 0.5 μm.
