1. A filter element for intake air of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle or of a compressor, comprising:
a filter body having circumferential outer surface and axially opposing end faces; and a seal arrangement; wherein the seal arrangement comprises:
a seal member arranged on and secured onto the circumferential outer surface of the filter body and arranged between the end faces and spaced axially away from the end faces, the seal member arranged so as to circumferentially extend about the filter body on the circumferential outer surface;wherein the seal member is a ring-shaped seal member having a U-shaped cross-section, the seal member having:
a first axially leg extending axially and arranged on and contacting the circumferential outer surface of the filter body;a third axially extending leg substantially parallel to the first leg and spaced radially outwardly away from the first leg;a radially outwardly projecting second leg projecting outwardly substantially perpendicular to the circumferential outer surface of the filter body, the second leg having opposing ends connected directly onto an axial end of the first leg and to an axial end of the third leg;wherein the first and third legs are substantially parallel to each other and to the circumferential outer surface of the filter body;wherein the first, second and third leg form the U-shaped cross section;wherein the seal member forms a groove inside the seal member, the groove opening to the exterior of the seal member on a first side of the seal member;an elastic plastic foam operable to form a seal is arranged in the groove. |
