The invention belongs to the technical field of high-temperature gas filtering equipment, and relates to a modular high-temperature gas filter. The filter comprises a filter shell, a plurality of filter modules sealed in the filter shell, a back-flushing cleaning system and a partition plate, the plurality of filter modules are connected in series in the vertical direction in the filter shell to form filter units, the plurality of filter units are arranged in parallel, and the tops of the filter units are fixedly connected to the partition plate. Each filter module of the modular high-temperature gas filter is provided with a plurality of filtering elements, so that the modular high-temperature gas filter is large in filtering area and high in efficiency, achieves miniaturization and standardization of equipment, reduces occupied area, is easy for large-scale production, is convenient to mount and maintain, can be assembled according to actual production requirements, reduces equipment cost, and is wide in application range. Due to the unique design that the pipelines and the filter module structures of the back-flushing cleaning system are skillfully inserted, the space utilization rate and functions are maximized, and the filter is compact in overall structure, small in overall thermal stress, good in structural strength and long in service life.
