Definitions

  • the electrically conductive sensor wires are applied to a carrier, the sensor wires embedded in the carrier or can rest on the carrier.
  • the carrier consists of a carrier material, which isolates the conductive sensor wires from each other when dry. This material can be designed so that it can absorb water, while it then becomes electrically conductive. In another configuration of the carrier, the carrier material can do not absorb water, causing the water to drop on the carrier separates. This drop of water then bridges the electrically insulating carrier material and connects the sensor wires together, which creates a current flow, which causes the first raw air inlet to close.
  • the flap 13 has two flap parts 23, the Flap parts 23 are rigidly connected. In the first position one closes of the flap parts 23 the second raw air inlet 11. In the second position (dash-dotted shown), the other flap part 23 closes the first raw air inlet 10 and the second raw air inlet 11 is released.
  • the evaluation unit 32 sends in via the connecting line 16 Signal to a movement unit (not shown) which the closure element (not shown) and thus closing the first unfiltered air inlet (not shown) causes.
  • FIG. 4 shows a filter element in section along the section line A-A according to FIG. 3
  • the sensor wires 15 only touch the filter medium 34 Tips of the folds 36.
  • the contacts 42 of the sensor wires 15 are embedded in the seal 35, whereby there is no protruding contour over the seal 35, which the tightness of the filter element 27 in the filter housing (not shown) is impaired.
  • FIG. 8 is a partial view of a filter element, with the moisture sensor 14 in a portion of the filter element 27 is shown.
  • the seal 35 is formed such that it encloses the moisture sensor 14 and in its position fixed.
  • the sensor wires 15 are on an electrically insulating in the dry state Carrier 30 applied, which can absorb water, making it conductive. at In this version, the sensor wires are not in direct contact with the filter medium 34th
