Filter Element with a Receiving Chamber Containing a Drying Agent, and Fluid Filter

A filter element for filtering a liquid has a filter medium that surrounds a longitudinal axis of the filter element in a ring shape and can be flowed through by the liquid in a radial direction in relation to the longitudinal axis. A flow-through receiving chamber is provided that is delimited, at least in sections thereof, by a wall that can be flowed through by the liquid, wherein the receiving chamber contains a drying agent for removal of water from the liquid. The filter medium and the receiving chamber containing the drying agent are non-detachably connected to each other. A fluid filter with a filter housing in which such a filter element is arranged is provided. The filter element is arranged in the filter housing such that, in operation of the fluid filter, both filter medium and receiving chamber containing the drying agent are flowed through by the liquid.
