A filter element for filtering liquids has a folded filter medium with outer fold edges and inner fold edges, wherein the inner and outer fold edges extend along a longitudinal axis of the filter element. A support body is provided with a first support body section and a second support body section, wherein the first support body section is facing the inner fold edges and hugs closely an envelope of the inner fold edges. An envelope of the outer fold edges and the second support body section hug closely at least sectionwise an outer circumferential surface of the filter element.

Filter element and filter arrangement

A filter element is provided with a folded bellows that has a first pleated section with parallel arranged first pleats and a second pleated section with parallel arranged second pleats. The first pleats of the first pleated section are positioned at an angle relative to the second pleats of the second pleated section. The end face edges of the first pleats of the first pleated section adjoin a first clean chamber. The end face edges of the second pleats of the second pleated section adjoin a second clean chamber. The second clean chamber is delimited by a longitudinal side of an edge-side pleat of the first pleated section. The first and second clean chambers are connected to each other. A filter insert with such a filter element is provided.

Pleated filter element

A filter insert piece has a filter element with first and second pleated sections each having parallel pleats. The first and second pleated sections each have an inflow side. A first flat outflow side of the first pleated section and a second flat outflow side of the second pleated section adjoin a common clean chamber of the filter element. A length of the pleats of the first and second pleated sections is such that a spacing of an outwardly positioned pleat end face of the pleats at the first or second inflow side, respectively, relative to the center axis increases or decreases monotonic from pleat to pleat. The respective end pleats of the first and of the second pleated sections have a different length extension measured from the outwardly positioned pleat end face of the first end pleats or the second end pleats relative to the center axis.

A humidifier is provided with a housing and a stacked unit inserted into the housing that is provided with water vapor-permeable membranes and frame parts, wherein the frame parts are stacked on each other and the water vapor-permeable membranes are arranged between the frame parts, respectively, so that the water vapor-permeable membranes are stacked on top of each other and are spaced apart from each other. The housing has supports that hold the stacked unit. The supports and the frame parts are connected to each other by a connection that is made of laterally projecting connecting tabs and a receiving groove extending in vertical direction, wherein the connecting tabs engage the receiving groove.
