Abstract

A liquid filter includes an openable filter housing. The liquid filter has an unfiltered-liquid inlet and a clean-liquid outlet. A first filter element is arranged in the filter housing. The first filter element has an essentially hollow-cylindrical design, with the liquid flow travelling through it from the outside to the inside. An additional hollow-cylindrical filter element is arranged inside of the first filter element, wherein the liquid flow is also from the outside to the inside through the additional filter element. A separating wall is disposed between the two filter elements. The entire filter has a compact construction with a large effective filter area.
