FILTER ELEMENTS AND A FILTER DEVICE HAVING AT LEAST ONE FILTER ELEMENT

摘要

The invention relates to filter elements (1) made of a material permeable to a permeate and having a plurality of longitudinal ducts (3) with a cross-section which is a segment of a virtual rotationally symmetrical or mirror symmetrical surface (4). The filter elements (1) can be joined to form a filter element composite (10). The filter elements (1) or the filter element composite (10) can be used in a filter device (11) for purifying or separating a medium (7). Seals for the filter element composite (10) and/or the filter device (11) can be formed as a layer of compound (16), as individual seals (15), the shape of which differs from the shape of an O ring, or as sealing elements (17) with lands (17.1) and cut-outs (17.2).
