A membrane humidifier has a housing and a membrane stack. The membrane stack includes two first stack sides aligned parallel to the assembly direction. The membrane humidifier has a sealing device with two first sealing frames, each with an inner sealing surface and an outer sealing surface. The housing has two first housing sealing surfaces. The first sealing frames are in sealing contact with the inner sealing surfaces on the first stack sides. The first sealing frames are in contact with the outer sealing surfaces on the first housing sealing surfaces. The outer sealing surfaces of the first sealing frames and the first housing sealing surfaces of the housing are each aligned at a mounting angle to the first stack sides and to the mounting direction that is not zero. In addition, an arrangement is provided which includes the membrane humidifier and the sealing device for the membrane humidifier.

An annular adsorber element may be used in conjunction with a fresh air system of an internal combustion engine for adsorbing particles such as hydrocarbons. The annular adsorber element may include a support structure and an adsorber material. The support structure may be injection molded onto the adsorber material.

Adsorber element, ring filter element

A filter element for a filtering device used for filtering a fluid may include an annular filter body including a web-like, folded filter material, the filter body enclosing an inner space in the circumferential direction. The filter element may include an inner frame arranged on an inner side of the filter body facing the inner space. The inner frame may have a least one radially outwardly projecting and axially extending alignment strip arranged between two adjacent folds in the filter material in the circumferential direction. The at least one alignment strap may bear against the two adjacent folds. The inner frame may include a flow sleeve or may be configured as a flow sleeve.

Filter element and filter device

The invention relates to a gas filter insert (), particularly an air filter insert for a fresh air system of an internal combustion engine, having a filter body () which extends in its longitudinal direction () in a U-shape around an inner chamber (), and having a connector () which communicates with the inner chamber () and is arranged on the filter body on the open end-face side () thereof. In order to simplify the construction of the filter insert (), the filter body () is sealed transversally to its longitudinal direction (), with an end plate () on at least one end side ().
