Filter element and filter arrangement

Abstract

Proposed are a filter element, in particular in the form of a filter candle, for the dedusting of industrial gases, and a filter arrangement using the filter element. The filter element in accordance with the invention comprises a filter body and an outer framework. The filter element extends along an extension or longitudinal direction in an elongate shape. The outer framework is formed or attached at the outside of the filter body such that the filter body supports itself against the outer framework and is consequently mechanically relieved and stabilized with respect to tension, pressure, bending, and/or torsion as compared to an arrangement without an outer framework. In the filter arrangement according to the invention, a crude gas chamber and a clean gas chamber are, via one or a plurality of filter elements according to the invention, connected with each other in a fluid-mechanical manner such that, in operation, on transition of crude gas from the crude gas chamber through the one or the plurality of filter elements gas in a cleaned form passes over to the clean gas chamber.
