The filtering elements are arranged one behind the other in the direction of fluid flow and each have a plurality of fluid passage openings. The diameter of the fluid passage openings in the front filtering element is larger than the diameter of the fluid passage openings in the rear filtering element. At least one carrier material is arranged on at least one filtering element.
