Abstract
A filter module has several discoid filter cells each having a central opening and stacked to form a stacked filter cell arrangement, wherein the central openings are aligned in the axial direction of the stacked filter cell arrangement. Closing rings are connected to opposed ends of the stacked filter cell arrangement and have a central opening aligned with the central openings of the filter cells. At least one tensile forces receiving element extends through the central openings of the filter cells and the closing rings and has axial ends connected to the closing rings. The closing rings have outwardly facing end faces each having a flat packing. Adaptors having a hollow-cylindrical portion and having an axial sealing surface are provided and are connectable to a further liquid-conveying component. The adaptors are connected to the closing rings such that the sealing surface presses axially against the flat packing.
