A filter device, especially for filtering the intake air of an internal combustion engine, which includes a housing with an unfiltered air inlet and a clean air outlet, and a substantially cylindrical, replaceable filter insert disposed in the housing, which separates an unfiltered air zone within the housing from a clean air zone. An axial seal is provided on at least one end disk of the cylindrical filter insert, which seal interacts with a sealing surface on the housing to seal the unfiltered air zone from the clean air zone. A clamping wedge is also provided, which exerts a force on the filter insert to urge the axial seal reliably against the sealing surface of the filter housing.

Filter device with clamping wedge

An intake system which can be used for cooling a battery in a motor vehicle. This intake system has a raw air inlet , a raw air duct , a filter housing , a filter element , a clean air outlet , a clean air duct and an intake air manifold . The filter element is placed in the filter housing such that the air which flows from the raw air inlet through the raw air duct into the filter housing , must pass through the filter element before it reaches the clean air duct to the intake air manifold . The filter element also has a curvature by which it at least partially follows the contour of a battery box wall of an adjacent battery box . The filter element can be made curved or in multiple parts.
