Abstract
A filter for cleaning air by removing noxious and/or odorous matter from the air flow by desorption is constructed so that filter sections (,) can be sequentially heated for a desorption of the noxious and odorous matter. An air discharge (,) for desorption air is provided on the air exit side (,) of the filter (,) for the discharge of the desorbed noxious and odorous matter, preferably into the combustion air of an engine. The air discharge (,) for the desorption air covers at least one filter section,at a time when that section is being heated. A relative motion between the filter sections (,) and the air discharge (,) assures that other filter sections keep filtering while at least one filter section at a time is regenerated.
