Abstract
A filter element for filtering a fluid has a frame and a filter bellows provided with a filter medium folded in a zigzag shape to folds. The filter bellows has an inflow face at a raw side of the filter bellows and an outflow face at a clean side of the filter bellows. The filter bellows is arranged in the frame. A seal is arranged circumferentially at least partially continuously at least in sections at an outer circumferential side of the filter medium at the inflow face of the filter bellows or at the outflow face of the filter bellows. Elongate adhesive sections are arranged along at least two adhesive tracks on the filter medium at the inflow face of the filter bellows and/or at the outflow face of the filter bellows. Strain-relief devices for compensating a length change of the at least two adhesive tracks in relation to the filter medium and/or to the seal are provided. A filter system is provided with such a filter element.
