In a filter housing (10) for the cleaning of dust laden, preferably hot gas ceramic filter candles (6) which are closed at one end are positioned in multiple levels one above the other and connected to laterally spaced apart supporting collectors (7). The supporting collectors (7) and the filter candles (6) within one level form a filter module which is divided into several mutually separate filter segments (18) in the shape of a circular sector. The supporting collectors (7) of one filter segment (18) are connected with a clean gas collecting channel (8) located on the same level, whereby a space remains in the center of each level which is free of collecting supports (7). Into each clean gas collecting channel (8) protrudes a cleaning lance (19) either directly or indirectly. (FIG. 1)

Apparatus for the cleaning of dust laden gas

In a process for the cleaning of dust laden, preferably hot gas with the aid of ceramic filter candles (6) which are open at one end stacked above one another in levels in a raw gas space, and connected to a clean gas space, these filter candles are cleaned by way of pulsed gas, which is blown for a short period of time from the side of the clean gas space and against the direction of gas flow into the filter candles. In the raw gas space the gas to be cleaned and the dust loosened by the cleaning are guided separately so that the loosened dust is guided to the dust removal structure of the raw gas space without once again mixing with the gas to be cleaned. The process is advantageously carried out in a filter housing (10) wherein the filter candles (6) are connected to laterally spaced apart supporting collectors (7). The filter candles (6) in one level are separated from the filter candles (6) in the level thereabove by an ash removal mantle (15). (FIG. 1)
