Product Description:
The Norgren F17 and F18 series represent high-flow, general-purpose compressed air filters engineered to efficiently eliminate liquid water and solid contaminants from pneumatic systems. These filters play a crucial role in safeguarding downstream air-operated components such as valves, cylinders, and tools from potential corrosion and damage, ensuring prolonged operational reliability.
Specifically, the F17 series accommodates port sizes ranging from G3/4 to G1-1/4 and supports flow rates reaching up to 236 dm³/s (500 SCFM). In comparison, the F18 series caters to larger port dimensions of G1-1/2 and G2, facilitating higher flow rates up to 765 dm³/s. Both models are designed to operate at a maximum inlet pressure of 17 bar and maintain functionality within a temperature window from -20°C to +80°C.
These filters are equipped with filter elements made of sintered polypropylene, available in either 40 μm or 5 μm ratings, which provide effective removal of particulates across various industrial applications. Users can choose between manual 1/4-turn drains or automatic drain systems depending on their maintenance preferences.
The housing is crafted from an aluminium alloy and features a highly visible prismatic liquid level indicator lens, allowing straightforward monitoring of condensate accumulation. Furthermore, the screw-on bowl design simplifies servicing by eliminating the need for special tools or removing the filter from the air line, thus enhancing ease of maintenance.
Features:
High Flow Capacity
The F17 series offers a flow capacity of up to 236 dm³/s (500 SCFM), while the F18 series is designed for demanding large flow applications, providing up to 765 dm³/s. These capacities ensure efficient operation in various pneumatic systems requiring high air throughput.
Filtration Options
Both series come with two filtration grades to suit different needs. Filtration elements are available in 40 μm or 5 μm sintered polypropylene, effectively removing particulate contaminants from compressed air.
Drainage Choices
Users can choose between manual and automatic drain options. The manual drain features a 1/4-turn mechanism, while automatic drain configurations are also offered for convenience and ease of maintenance.
Durable Aluminium Alloy Construction
Featuring a robust aluminium alloy bowl equipped with a sight glass and a prismatic liquid level indicator lens, these filters allow easy monitoring of liquid levels. The aluminium alloy body is lightweight and resistant to corrosion, enhancing longevity and reliability.
Service-Friendly Design
The screw-on bowl design enables quick servicing without the need for tools or removal from the air line. This reduces maintenance time and minimizes system downtime.
High-Pressure and Wide Temperature Compatibility
The filters are rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 17 bar (247 psi), making them suitable for high-pressure pneumatic systems. They also operate reliably within a wide temperature range from -20°C to +80°C, accommodating diverse environmental conditions.
Reliable Sealing and Protection
Standard Nitrile Rubber (NBR) elastomer seals provide dependable sealing performance. These filters effectively remove liquids and solid contaminants, protecting air-operated devices from damage caused by water, oil, and particulate matter.
Versatile Port Sizes
The F17 series is available in port sizes G3/4, G1, and G1-1/4, while the F18 series offers G1-1/2 and G2 options. This range accommodates various system requirements, ensuring compatibility with different setups.
