Muffler and filter system
A muffler for a filter system has a base body with an inlet opening. A fluid guiding rib is externally arranged on the base body so as to guide a fluid to be filtered by the filter system toward the inlet opening of the base body. The fluid guiding rib extends along a first flow direction, wherein the fluid to be filtered passes through the base body along the first flow direction. A filter system with a filter housing and a filter element removably received in the filter housing is provided with such a muffler. The muffler is attached to the filter housing.
1. A muffler for a filter system, the muffler comprising:
a base body comprising an inlet opening;
a fluid guiding rib externally arranged on the base body and configured to guide a fluid to be filtered by the filter system from an externo side base body toward the inlet opening of the base body;
wherein the fluid guiding rib extends along the exterior of the base body, and wherein the fluid to be filtered passes through the base body a first flow direction.
2. The muffler according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid guiding rib guides the fluid to be filtered along the exterior side of the base body in a second flow direction, and wherein the second flow direction is oriented opposite to the first flow direction.
3. The muffler according to claim 1 , wherein the base body is constructed with rotational symmetry in relation to a symmetry axis, and wherein the fluid guiding rib extends along the symmetry axis.
4. The muffler according to claim 3 , wherein the inlet opening is rounded by an inlet rounded portion extending circumferentially around the symmetry axis.
5. The muffler according to claim 4 , wherein the inlet rounded portion extends out of the inlet opening to the exterior side of the base body.
6. The muffler according to claim 3 , wherein the base body comprises a truncated cone-shaped inlet comprising the inlet opening and further comprises a truncated cone-shaped outlet, and wherein the inlet and the outlet are arranged such that the inlet passes via a cross section constriction into the outlet.
7. The muffler according to claim 6 , wherein the cross section constriction is rounded by a rounded portion extending circumferentially about the symmetry axis.
8. The muffler according to claim 6 , wherein the outlet, viewed along the symmetry axis, is longer than the inlet.
9. The muffler according to claim 3 , wherein the fluid guiding rib extends radially away from the symmetry axis in an outward direction toward the exterior side of the base body.
10. The muffler according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of said fluid guiding rib arranged uniformly distributed relative to each other about a circumference of the base body.
11. A filter system comprising:
a filter housing;
a filter element removably received in the filter housing;
a muffler according to claim 1 , the muffler attached to the filter housing.
12. The filter system according to claim 11 , wherein the muffler is connected with form fit to a fluid inlet of the filter housing.
13. The filter system according to claim 11 , wherein an intermediate space is provided between the muffler and the filter element.
14. The filter system according to claim 11 , wherein the muffler and the filter element are two components separate from each other.
15. The filter system according to claim 11 , wherein the muffler is arranged, at least in sections, outside of the filter housing.
