Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A filter material for air filtration in a filter element. The filter material includes a prefilter layer on an inflow side, an activated carbon layer, and a composite layer. The composite layer is formed with at least one membrane layer. The prefilter layer, the activated carbon layer and the composite layer are materially bonded to each other.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A filter material for air filtration in a filter element, comprising: a prefilter layer on an inflow side; an activated carbon layer; and a composite layer, which is formed with at least one membrane layer, wherein the prefilter layer, the activated carbon layer and the composite layer are materially bonded to each other. 2 . The filter material according to claim 1 , wherein the prefilter layer and/or the composite layer are electrostatically charged. 3 . The filter material according to claim 1 , wherein the activated carbon layer is provided with a permanently sticky adhesion network. 4 . The filter material according to claim 1 , wherein the filter material has an additional coarse filter layer. 5 . The filter material according to claim 4 , wherein the prefilter layer or the coarse filter layer form a carrier for the activated carbon layer. 6 . The filter material according to claim 1 , wherein the activated carbon layer comprises activated carbon particles glued to each other. 7 . The filter material according to claim 1 , wherein the filter material has the following structure: a prefilter layer on the inflow side, a composite layer on an outflow side and an activated carbon layer located in between. 8 . The filter material according to claim 1 , wherein the filter material has the following structure: the prefilter layer on the inflow side, a coarse filter layer an outflow side with the activated carbon layer applied thereon and the composite layer located in between, wherein the prefilter layer and the composite layer are configured as a materially bonded unit. 9 . The filter material according to claim 1 , wherein the filter material has the following structure: the prefilter layer on the inflow side, the composite layer on an outflow side and at least one coarse filter layer located in between, wherein the activated carbon layer is applied upstream on a first coarse filter layer of the at least one coarse filter layers. 10 . The filter material according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the composite layer, the activated carbon layer, and the prefilter layer of the filter material have a progressive structure. 11 . A filter element with the filter material according to claim 1 , wherein the filter material is pleated and wherein edge bands or frame elements are attached to the pleated filter material.
