Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a perpendicular flow type filter element (1) for a component (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e) used in an air conditioning system (48) or an air conditioning system (48) including or realizing a heat pump (49) of a vehicle (50), having a hollow cylinder body (5), through which a fluid flow (3) of fluid can flow, and which extends along a central longitudinal axis (4), a base body (6), and a filter body (7), through which the fluid flow (3) can flow. Said hollow cylinder body (5) limits a flow channel (8) for fluid, which has a flow region (9'), through which the fluid flow (3) can flow in parallel with respect to the central longitudinal axis (4), and a further flow region (9"), through which the fluid flow (3) can flow perpendicularly with respect to the central longitudinal axis (4). It is essential that the base body (6) has a fixing means (10) and a sealing means assembly (11), by means of which the perpendicular flow type filter element (1) can be fixed in a releasable and fluidtight manner to the heat exchanger (2) and that the base body (6) is formed integrally with the hollow cylinder body (5) at least in some sections. The air conditioning system (48) is preferably used in a vehicle (50) with at least partial electric drive. The air conditioning system (48) including or realizing a heat pump system is preferably used in a vehicle with at least partial electric drive.
