Abstract:
A filter element has a preferably multilayer structure of a pleated filter medium ( 3 ) with a plurality of individual filter pleats ( 5, 7 ). Due to an alternating sequence of filter pleats ( 5 ) with a first pleat height (h 1 ) and filter pleats ( 7 ) with a second pleat height (h 2 ), more effective filter surfaces are available than with filter pleats with a uniform pleat height. Upon throughflow by a fluid to be filtered, a lower surface load for the filter medium ( 30  and lower passage speed of the fluid are present during filtration. A static loading of the filter medium ( 3 ) during operation of the filter is then reduced. A hydraulic circuit has such a filter element ( 1 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A filter element, comprising:\n a tubular and pleated filter medium having a central longitudinal axis; first filter pleats having a first pleat height; second filter pleats having a second pleat height less than said first pleat height, said first and second filter pleats being arranged in an alternating sequence providing a greater effective filtering surface than if said pleated filter medium had filter pleats having a uniform pleat height of said first pleat height, providing a corresponding flow-through of a fluid to be filtered resulting in an overall lower surface load to said filter medium and providing a lower flow-through velocity of fluid during filtration, thereby resulting in a reduced static charge of said filter medium during filter element operation; and planar sections of said filter pleats each extending in a plane containing an entire length of said central longitudinal axis
