The invention discloses a
filter element device, a filter and application of the filter. The
filter element device comprises a
filter element shell, at least one filter
assembly and an inner
barrel which are sequentially arranged in a sleeving mode from outside to inside, a first channel is formed between the filter
assembly and the filter element shell, a
distributor is arranged at the upper endof the filter element device, and a filter element liquid inlet is longitudinally formed in the
distributor and used for evenly distributing liquid to be filtered to the filter element liquid inlet. The first channel directly communicates with the filter element liquid inlet, a filter element liquid outlet is formed in the lower end of the filter
assembly, and to-be-filtered liquid entering from the filter element liquid inlet sequentially passes through the first channel and the filter assembly and then flows out from the filter element liquid outlet; and the filter element device is dividedinto a central
liquid storage area and a
peripheral filtering area which are independent from each other by the inner
barrel, and a second channel is formed in the lower end of the inner
barrel. Whenthe filter is used for removing
solid inclusions in high-temperature
molten salt, the filter can work continuously, and the filter element device is long in service life, good in filtering effect, convenient and flexible to install, small in occupied area and reasonable and compact in structure.
