Definitions
- the invention relates to a gas filter system with an outer filter element and an inner filter element, which are sealed against one another.
- the invention also relates to the use of an outer filter element and/or an inner filter element in a gas filter system.
- Such filter systems have a high degree of filtration and are used, for example, for filtering combustion air for internal combustion engines, for filtering cathode air from fuel cells or as cabin air filters. Particularly in the filtration of cathode air for fuel cells, filter elements with different properties are used, with one filter medium being designed for particle filtration and the other filter medium enabling the adsorption of harmful gases such as nitrogen oxides.
- the filter elements are typically installed in a common housing, whereby possible leakage flows that cause the filter elements to be bypassed must be reliably prevented.
- the filter elements are often sealed from the housing, which places great demands on the structural design of the filter system. If the seals are not sufficiently coordinated with one another, for example due to unavoidable manufacturing tolerances, unfiltered gas can flow past the filter elements. This reduces the operability of the filter system.
- the filter elements are often glued to one another and/or to the housing.
- the filter elements can only be replaced with great effort and damage to the gas filter system.
- a modular filter element with an outer filter element and an inner filter element is known, which are sealed against each other.
- the inner filter element is arranged in the outer filter element.
- a gas filter system is provided.
- the gas filter system can be used, for example, to filter combustion air for internal combustion engines or fuel cells or as a cabin air filter.
- the gas filter system has an external filter element.
- the outer filter element has a first filter medium arranged between a first end disk and a second end disk.
- the gas filter system also has an inner filter element.
- the inner filter element has a second filter medium arranged between a third end disk and a fourth end disk.
- the first filter medium and/or the second filter medium is attached to the respective end disks in a gas-tight manner, particularly preferably glued to the respective end disks or molded onto the respective filter medium.
- the end disks close and seal the respective filter medium, preferably on its filter medium end faces in the axial direction. This allows leakage flows within the respective filter element to be avoided.
- the first and/or the second filter medium can surround a longitudinal axis of the gas filter system in a ring shape.
- the filter media can be arranged concentrically to one another and the longitudinal axis.
- the respective filter medium can, for example, be folded or wound in a star shape.
- the filter medium can be round or oval in cross section.
- the filter medium can be cylindrical or conical in the axial direction.
- Directional information such as axial or radial here and below refers to the longitudinal axis of the gas filter system, unless otherwise stated.
- the longitudinal axes of the two filter elements preferably coincide, but can also differ from one another.
- the longitudinal axis of the inner filter element could be inclined to the longitudinal axis of the outer filter element, for example if the inner filter element is conical and the outer filter element is cylindrical and the end plate of the inner filter element facing away from the gas inlet or outlet is not arranged around the center of the gas filter system.
- the first end disk and the third end disk are designed to be open. The opening of the third end plate allows gas to enter or exit into or out of an interior of the filter element. Furthermore, the opening of the first end plate can serve to arrange the inner filter element in the outer filter element.
- the first end disk preferably surrounds the third end disk on the circumference.
- the third end disk is at least partially, preferably completely, arranged within the first end disk.
- the inner filter element can be arranged at least predominantly, preferably completely, within the outer filter element. This makes it possible to achieve particularly compact dimensions of the gas filter system.
- the first end disk has, in particular on a side facing away from the first filter medium, a first sealing projection projecting in the axial direction.
- the third end disk has, in particular on a side facing away from the second filter medium, a second sealing projection projecting in the axial direction.
- the sealing projections protrude beyond the respective end plate along the longitudinal axis of the gas filter system.
- the first and second sealing projections protrude beyond their respective end disks in the same direction along the longitudinal axis.
- the sealing projections serve for sealing contact with a corresponding counter contour, for example the other sealing projection and/or a housing of the gas filter system.
- the sealing projections are integrally formed on the respective end disks.
- the sealing projections and the end disks covering the axial end faces of the filter media bodies can be separate components which can be connected to one another, for example by gluing, welding or injection molding. These multi-piece embodiments are also included in the term end disks.
- the sealing projections can each have at least one section which also extends in a radial direction, in particular protrudes in a radial direction beyond the respective end disk.
- the first and second sealing projections fundamentally have different cross sections.
- the sealing projections are particularly preferably designed to be complementary to one another in order to enable positive interlocking.
- the first or second sealing projection can, for example, have a groove-shaped (U-shaped) cross-section while the other sealing projection has a web-shaped (I-shaped) cross-section.
- the third end disk and the first end disk are sealed against each other. In other words, leakage flows between the first end disk and the third end disk are bidirectionally prevented.
- the first sealing projection and the second sealing projection engage with one another.
- the first sealing projection and the second sealing projection are in sealing contact with one another on at least two projection sealing surfaces.
- the projection sealing surfaces can be spatially spaced apart from one another.
- the projection sealing surfaces preferably have a different orientation. This allows leakage paths to be avoided even more effectively, whereby the sealing effect can be further improved.
- first sealing projection and the second sealing projection lie against one another in a sealing manner on at least one axial projection sealing surface and at least one radial projection sealing surface.
- the axial projection sealing surface and the radial projection sealing surface may abut one another. This allows the sealing area to be kept particularly compact.
- one of the sealing projections is designed to be elastic and engages over the other sealing projection, so that it is expanded by the engagement of the other of the sealing projections.
- the elastic sealing projection can have polyurethane, in particular the elastic sealing projection is made of polyurethane.
- the other sealing projection can be made rigid, preferably made of polypropylene.
- the first sealing projection and/or the second sealing projection is designed to be circumferential on the respective end plate.
- the first and second sealing projections are preferably designed to be circumferential.
- the first and/or the second sealing projection can be designed to be closed in a ring-like manner around the longitudinal axis. This allows the sealing effect to be further increased.
- the rotational installation position of a fundamentally rotationally symmetrical filter element can be important for additional functions, for example an air mass meter, since similar filter elements can have similar deviations from an ideal due to production. Air mass sensors in particular react very sensitively to such deviations; If these deviations always occur in the same way, they can be compensated for.
- first sealing projection and the second sealing projection each have at least one radial recess and/or one radial projection.
- the corresponding sealing projection is therefore not strictly formed in a basic shape, for example circular, when viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis, but rather has local deviations from the basic shape, for example the circular shape.
- the at least one radial recess or projection can participate in sealing against the respective other sealing projection and/or a housing.
- the respective other sealing projection and/or the housing is preferably designed correspondingly.
- a radial projection on one sealing projection therefore engages with a radial recess on the other sealing projection.
- the deviation from the, in particular circular, basic shape on the sealing projection forces the filter element to be installed in a defined rotational orientation. It also ensures that only filter elements adapted to the respective gas filter system can be used.
- the first and/or the second sealing projection have at least one housing sealing surface for sealing engagement with a housing, preferably in the axial direction.
- the first and/or the second sealing projection can have the at least one housing sealing surface on a side facing away from the side in engagement with the other sealing projection.
- the corresponding sealing projection can thus be arranged between the housing and the other sealing projection and promotes simultaneous sealing of two possible leakage paths.
- the gas filter system has a preferably closed base plate.
- the base plate is particularly preferably arranged on the second end plate of the outer filter element.
- the base plate is particularly preferably designed to be gas-tight.
- the base plate can seal the first filter medium on the second end plate in the axial direction.
- the base plate has a support structure, in particular at least one support rib protruding in the axial direction, for supporting the fourth end plate of the inner filter element.
- the outer filter element forms a stop surface for the inner filter element. This allows the inner filter element to be positioned accurately within the outer filter element. This supports the sealing engagement of the sealing projections in one another.
- the outer filter element has a support tube radially inward.
- the filter medium can be stabilized radially inward by a support tube.
- the base plate can be formed integrally with the support tube.
- the filter medium can be stabilized radially on the outside by a cage.
- a thread winding can also be attached to the filter element.
- the filter element can thereby be made more rigid, whereby dynamic leakage paths due to changes in length of the filter element during operation can be avoided.
- An embodiment of the gas filter system in which the outer filter element and the inner filter element are hollow cylindrical is also preferred. Thanks to a hollow cylindrical design, a high inflow area can be achieved while at the same time compact dimensions for each individual filter element and the entire gas filter system.
- the outer filter element is connected upstream of the inner filter element in a flow direction of the gas filter system.
- the outer filter element and the inner filter element are connected in series in such a way that the gas filter system flows through radially inwards. This results in lower pressure differences between the inflow and outflow sides of the filter elements, which can prevent the formation of leakage flows.
- one of the filter media is designed for particle filtration and consists of or has cellulose, while the other filter medium is designed for harmful gas adsorption and for this purpose preferably has activated carbon.
- the filter element for particle filtration is advantageously arranged in the flow direction in front of the filter element for harmful gas adsorption.
- the gas filter system in which it has an openable housing.
- the housing typically has a first housing part and a second Housing part, for example a housing pot and a removable housing cover.
- the outer filter element and the inner filter element are preferably arranged between the first housing part and the second housing part.
- the inner and outer filter elements can be accommodated in the housing.
- the housing preferably has at least one inlet opening for gas to flow into the gas filter system and at least one outlet opening for gas to flow out of the gas filter system.
- the inlet opening is preferably located immediately upstream of the outer filter element.
- the outlet opening is preferably immediately downstream of the inner filter element.
- the first housing part preferably has an end face which faces the first and third end disks of the filter elements.
- the end face can have a housing sealing groove corresponding to the first sealing projection and/or second sealing projection, in which the first sealing projection and the second sealing projection are arranged to mesh with one another.
- a raw gas side of the gas filter system can be effectively sealed from a clean gas side of the gas filter system.
- the at least one inlet opening can communicate fluidly with the at least one outlet opening only through the inner and outer filter elements.
- the end face has an opening which is fluidically connected upstream or downstream of the inner filter element.
- the inlet opening or the outlet opening can be formed on the front side of the housing.
- the first housing part has a center tube on the end face, which engages in the inner filter element.
- the center tube can be designed to support the second filter medium.
- the center tube is preferably designed like a grid.
- the center tube can extend along the longitudinal axis at least over a third, preferably over at least two thirds, particularly preferably over the entire dimension of the inner filter element in the longitudinal direction. This allows the second filter medium to be supported particularly effectively.
- the housing has a closure arranged on the circumference, the closure in a closed state causing a gas-tight clamping of the first housing part and the second housing part with the outer filter element and the inner filter element.
- the housing in a closed state, can have dimensions in the longitudinal direction that are the dimensions of the filter elements arranged one inside the other in the longitudinal direction fall below.
- the filter elements or the sealing projections can be slightly compressed when the housing is closed, which results in a particularly gas-tight contact of the sealing projections against one another and/or on the housing.
- the scope of the invention also includes the use of an outer filter element and/or an inner filter element in a gas filter system according to the invention described above and below.
- the outer or inner filter element can have features described above and below.
- One filter element has a filter medium that is arranged between two end plates.
- One end plate has a first sealing projection projecting in the axial direction.
- the first sealing projection has at least one projection sealing surface.
- the projection sealing surface is designed to rest sealingly on a further projection sealing surface of an axially projecting second sealing projection of an end disk of a further filter element.
- the first sealing projection is made of a soft material, in particular foamed polyurethane, and is preferably formed in one piece with the end plate.
- the first sealing projection is preferably arranged on the inner circumference of the end plate and advantageously has the shape of a U directed in the axial direction towards the open interior of the filter element.
- the free leg of the US is arranged radially on the inside. This creates a receiving groove.
- a rigid rib-like sealing projection of a second filter element arranged within this filter element can engage in the sealing projection, so that the two filter elements are sealed against one another.
- the filter element with the soft, groove-having sealing projection forms the inner filter element and the filter element with the rigid, rib-like sealing projection forms the outer filter element.
- the U-shaped groove is arranged on the outer circumference of the end plate and the free leg is arranged radially on the outside.

- the raw gas side 66 of the gas filter system 10 can thereby be sealed from the clean gas side 68 of the gas filter system 10.
- the first sealing projection 38 can have an elastic material, in particular PUR, or can be formed from the elastic material.
- the second sealing projection 40 can also have an elastic material, in particular PUR, or can be formed from the elastic material.
- one of the sealing projections 38, 40 can be designed to widen the other sealing projection 40, 38.
- the first sealing projection 38 is trapezoidal or wedge-shaped in cross section, whereby when the first sealing projection 38 is arranged on or in the second sealing projection 40, it is expanded radially. This allows the second sealing projection 40 to be pressed against the housing sealing groove 64, thereby improving the sealing effect. Furthermore, the contact force between the first sealing projection 38 and the second sealing projection 40 can be increased, which further improves the sealing effect.
- the axial housing sealing surface 70, the radially inner housing sealing surface 72 and the radially outer housing sealing surface 74 can be formed between the second sealing projection 40 and the housing sealing groove 64.
- the axial projection sealing surface 76, the radially inner projection sealing surface 78 and the radially outer projection sealing surface 80 can be formed when the second sealing projection 40 is widened. Sealing the raw gas side 66 against the clean gas side 68 using two filter elements 12, 14 can therefore also be carried out particularly easily in a single sealing area 82 in the second embodiment.
- Fig. 7 shows the outer filter element 12 from Figures 5 and 6 in a perspective view.
- the outer filter element 12 according to the second embodiment of the gas filter system 10 from FIGS. 5 and 6 has a radial projection 88 formed on the first sealing projection 38.
- the radial projection 88 can be understood as a radially outward deviation of the otherwise rotationally symmetrical first sealing projection 38.
- the projection 88 can enable a rotation-proof arrangement of the first filter element 12 on the housing 50 (see FIGS. 5, 6), whereby precise positioning can be ensured.
- Fig. 8 shows the inner filter element 14 from Figures 5 and 6 in a perspective view.
- the second sealing projection 40 can have a radial projection 90 as shown.
- the radial projection 90 is designed to correspond to the radial projection 88 of the outer filter element 12 (see FIG. 7), so that the position of the inner filter element 14 relative to the outer filter element 12 or to the housing 50 is also fixed.
