A round filter element has an annular circumferentially extending pleated filter medium body to be flowed through by a fluid to be purified radially relative to a longitudinal axis of the filter medium body. A first end disk is arranged at a first end face of the filter medium body. A second end disk is arranged at a second end face of the filter medium body. The second end face is axially opposite the first end face. An outer or an inner contour of the first end disk is identically or at least substantially identically embodied to an outer or an inner contour of the filter medium body. An outer or an inner contour of the second end disk is identically or at least substantially identically embodied to the outer or the inner contour of the filter medium body. One of the first and second end disks is open.

A filter system for filtering fluid has a filter housing with inlet socket and outlet socket for fluid. A central tube with radially open region over a portion of its axial length is arranged in the filter housing in flow communication with the outlet socket in an operating state. Within the central tube, a secondary element is arranged slidably between first and second operating positions. A filter element, separating a raw fluid side from a clean fluid side, has a filter bellows with a first end plate at a first end face and a second end plate at a second end face. The end plates have central openings for receiving the central tube in the filter element interior. In the first operating position, the secondary element opens a fluid path through the radially open region of the central tube and closes the fluid path in the second operating position.

A road vehicle with a vehicle frame and a rear axle connected to the vehicle frame is provided with an ambient air purification device with filter elements for removing dust, particulate matter, and gases from ambient air. The ambient air purification device is arranged transverse to a longitudinal vehicle axis in an exterior region of the road vehicle at a vehicle rear of the road vehicle in an underfloor region such that at least the filter elements are arranged behind the rear axle of the road vehicle in a travel direction of the road vehicle. The ambient air purification device is received in an installation space of the vehicle frame. The ambient air purification device is flowed through in longitudinal vehicle direction. A free outflow zone of the ambient air purification device is arranged, in travel direction of the road vehicle, behind the ambient air purification device.

The present invention relates to a multi-modal multi-media air filtration system which can include: a base having one or more connection features and a filter media assembly, the filter media assembly being configured to attach to the base at a first end and the cap at a second end. The filter media assembly also including a first filter media extending across a primary air flow path and a second filter media extending across a secondary air flow path. The air filtration assembly then includes a blocking mechanism and an actuation assembly being configured to work together so as to selectively open or close the secondary air flow path so as to alternate the degree of filtration passing through the filter media based on the degree of desired filtration.

A multi-modal multi-media air filtration system which can include: a base having one or more connection features and a filter media assembly, the filter media assembly being configured to attach to the base portion at a first end. The filter media assembly can then also include a first filter media extending across a first air flow path and a second filter media extending across a second air flow path. The air filtration assembly can then also include an actuation assembly configured to selectively open or close one of the first air flow path or the second air flow path so as to alternate the degree of filtration passing through the filter media assembly based on the degree of filtration provided by the first or second filter media.

An environmental air cleaning device for a road vehicle removes dust, particulate matter, and/or gases from environmental air. The environmental air cleaning device has one or more filter elements. The environmental air cleaning device is provided with a mounting device that rigidly couples to a vehicle-side mounting device for roof loads. A road vehicle with such an environmental air cleaning device is provided.
