- a fuel supply system in particular a diesel fuel supply system of a motor vehicle with a filter element.
- filter elements In the automotive sector, liquid equipment is often used, such as fuels such as gasoline or diesel, lubricants such as oil or urea solutions, which must be freed of impurities.
- This filter elements are usually used, which are used in a filter housing or a filter holder.
- the filter elements themselves comprise a mostly flat and folded filter medium, which is provided between end plates or end caps and is flowed through radially.
- cylindrical housing and filter element geometries are known. Usually due to the installation situations geometric specifications are given to the respective filter element, the filter holder and to supply and discharge lines for clean and crude fluid. It is desirable to use as large a filter surface in a small space.
- a filter element with an annular closed folded filter medium is known, whose end faces are tightly connected to end plates.
- the pleat height between adjacent pleats increases or decreases over several pleats.
- the filter element can be integrated in installation spaces with special geometries.
- WO 2007/081425 A1 describes filter elements with a folded filter medium, the folds extending along a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis extending transversely thereto between the first and second pleat tips. The depth of the fold varies along an axis normal to the planes of wrinkles.
- a filter element for filtering a fluid comprising a folded filter medium, and wherein between inner folding edges and a first support body at least one coalescing for deposition a liquid emulsified in the fluid is arranged and in which at least one screening medium is arranged between the first supporting body and a second supporting body.
- a filter element for filtering a fluid, comprising a folded filter medium, which comprises outer fold edges and the outer fold edges on the filter medium opposite inner fold edges.
- the folded edges run along a longitudinal axis of the filter element.
- the filter element comprises at least a first support body and a second support body, wherein the first support body faces the inner fold edges and forms an envelope of the inner fold edges, and wherein an envelope of the outer fold edges and the second support body at least partially form an outer circumferential surface of the filter element.
- at least one coalescence medium for separating a liquid emulsified in the fluid is arranged between the inner fold edges and the first support body.
- at least one sieve medium is arranged between the first support body and the second support body.
- the filter element according to the invention more filter surface can be accommodated in a given space compared to the prior art.
- one or more layers of a coalescing medium can be advantageously applied by means of the folding arrangement. Such an arrangement can be achieved relatively inexpensively with few individual components in the described filter element.
- a separation of an emulsified liquid from the fluid to be filtered can be carried out.
- the coalescing medium serves to coagulate liquid droplets of a liquid emulsified in the fluid, ie to increase the droplet size, so that the liquid, for example water in diesel fuel, can be separated out of the fluid and can flow off due to gravity.
- a downstream sieve medium serves to pass the fluid, for example the diesel fuel, but to retain the water droplets so that the water droplets can be deposited in front of or on the sieve cloth.
- water can be separated from diesel fuel.
- the present design favors diesel water separation through a relatively long fluid path between coalescing media and sieve media so that the separated water can drain away from the screen media.
- the function of the first support body is to support the folds of the filter medium against the pressure of the fluid to be filtered and to protect it from collapsing.
- the inner fold edges abut against the first support body.
- the envelope of the inner fold edges and the contour of the first support body are adapted to one another, so that the envelope of the inner fold edges and the first support body nestle against each other. Due to the arrangement of the support body and the folded or pleated filter medium in the proposed manner, a particularly efficient and thus enlarged filter surface can be achieved for a given base area of the filter element.
- the filter element may comprise a single bellows made of folded filter medium. Due to the fact that an outer jacket surface, that is to say a surface which is limited to the outside, for example cylindrical, in particular circular cylindrical filter element, is bounded directly both by outer fold edges and by the second support body, a favorable distribution of the filter medium on the present volume is possible ,
- the envelope of the outer fold edges and the second support body form the outer circumferential surface of the filter element.
- the base of the filter element can be formed for example by the folding profiles.
- the pleated filter medium may be designed in the manner of a continuous bellows and comprise a Umlauffaltabites.
- the circulatory folding section in particular runs around the first and second supporting bodies together with the inner folding edges.
- the support bodies can thus be introduced into the filter element.
- the outer circumferential surface may in particular be a cylinder jacket, for example a circular cylinder, so that one can speak of a round filter element.
- the folded filter medium is not designed as a star-shaped filter bellows, but rather as a filter medium body with a parallel fold position.
- the first and / or second support body may advantageously be manufactured in one piece from a plastic, for example in an injection molding process.
- the support body can also be made of metal, such as aluminum die-cast.
- the filter medium may comprise, for example, cellulose, a synthetic nonwoven material or a cellulose synthetic mixed fabric.
- the sieve medium may have at least one support element.
- the screen medium is formed of a fabric, it has no intrinsic structural rigidity. Therefore, it is advantageous if the sieve medium is applied to a support structure, for example a support grid, so that the sieve medium remains permanently in shape.
- the coalescing medium can be supported via spacer elements arranged on the first support body and / or indirectly or directly via spacer elements arranged on the second support body.
- the spacers and support elements can be designed rib-shaped and / or be protruding parts. In this way it is possible to support the coalescing medium against the fluid pressure.
- stiffened by a support grid Sieve medium which is adapted in its contour to the first support body and arranged adjacent thereto, can be held by spacer elements at a defined distance from the first support body. These spacers may additionally serve to support the coalescing medium.
- the sieve medium can be arranged following a contour of the first support body in the following manner or in tubular form arranged parallel to a longitudinal axis of the filter element. Since the first support body is advantageously adapted to an envelope of the inner fold edges of the filter medium, the sieve medium can thus also be adapted to this envelope. In this way, the sieve medium is flowed through by the surface of the fluid to be filtered from one side of the screen medium to the other side.
- the screen medium is tubular in the form of a hollow cylinder, which can be traversed by a radial outside of the screen medium of the fluid to be filtered into the interior of the hollow cylinder.
- the filtered fluid can flow in the clean fluid region formed in the interior of the sieve medium to the outlet of the filter element.
- the screen medium can also be held in this embodiment by arranged on the first support body and / or on the second support body spacers in a stable position.
- a cavity formed between the first support body and the screen medium may be provided for discharging the separated liquid.
- the coagulated droplets of the liquid emulsified in the fluid to be filtered may, before or upon reaching the sieve medium, come together in such large droplets or liquid areas that they may sink due to gravity and thus be eliminated from the fluid.
- the liquid can advantageously be deposited and discharged in the space between the coalescing medium and the sieve medium. This is particularly favorable if a designated cavity offers enough space to do so.
- the sieve medium may comprise a hydrophobic medium. Since the filter element is provided in particular for the discharge of water emulsified in diesel fuel, it is advantageous if a hydrophobic medium is used as the sieve medium, since the sieve medium serves to pass the diesel fuel, but to retain the coagulated water droplets. This is even more favorable if the sieve medium comprises a hydrophobic tissue or, for example, is hydrophobic coated.
- a first end disk with an outlet for the separated liquid and a second end disk with an outlet for the filtered fluid can be arranged on front edges of the filter medium.
- the outlet for the liquid may extend across the second end plate.
- the outlet for the liquid can be adapted to the shape of the end edge of the first support body.

- a receptacle for the first support body may be arranged at the outlet for the separated liquid.
- the outlet for the liquid, which is arranged in the first end plate, can thus have a receptacle, with the aid of which the first support body can be connected to the first end disk, for example inserted, glued or welded, so that a stable structure of end disk and the first support body is formed which also holds the first support body in its position against the fluid pressure of the fluid to be filtered, the end disk and the first support body being connected to each other in a fluid-tight manner.
- the respective fold portions extending between an inner fold edge and an outer fold edge can run parallel or at least substantially parallel to one another.
