| abstract |
The invention relates to a filter for the separation of undesirable components from a fluid stream, in which an elastically deformable base filter material in the form of a filter material skeleton or a grid structure formed with polymeric fibers, wires or a structure, is attached to an outer frame. In addition, reinforcing or functional elements, in particular fibers or wires formed with another material, which as a result of an energy input change their geometric shape and / or their length are material- or positively connected to the filter material framework or the lattice structure, so that a change in the geometric shape and / or the size of pores in an energy input and the termination of the energy input is achievable. |
