Sealing of filter elements of particle filter for e.g. exhaust gas flows comprises filling intermediate spaces between filter elements with easily deformable material

摘要

The sealing of filter elements (6) of a particle filter (1) against which flows a particle-laden gas flow, in which the filter elements are supported and sealed by a sealing element (4), comprises introducing a free-flowing material in the processing state into the free spaces between the filter elements, flowing through of the substance into the free spaces according to its contour, and inputting energy into the material after the flow-through in the free spaces to create a material-bonded connection with the filter elements.
