Product Description:
The Norgren B72G and B73G series represent high-performance filter regulators within the Excelon modular air preparation system. These compact, integrated units are designed to combine both filtration and pressure regulation in a single housing. They efficiently remove water and solid particles from compressed air lines while ensuring precise downstream pressure control.
Thanks to the Excelon design, these filter regulators can be installed either in-line or as part of a modular assembly with other Excelon products. The Quickclamp connections facilitate easy installation, system expansion, and maintenance, making these units highly versatile for various setups.
The B72G series comes equipped with G1/4 and G3/8 port options and provides a flow rate of 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM). In comparison, the B73G series supports G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2 port sizes and delivers a higher flow rate of 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). Both series incorporate a balanced valve design that reduces the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations on the outlet pressure, guaranteeing consistent and stable regulation.
These units offer flexibility through the availability of 5 µm or 40 µm sintered polypropylene filter elements and come with either manual or automatic drain configurations. Such options ensure suitability for a wide range of industrial applications.
Key features include a push-to-lock adjustment knob protected by a tamper-resistant cover, a quick-release bayonet bowl for straightforward maintenance, and full flow gauge ports that allow pressure monitoring without restricting airflow. The transparent polycarbonate bowls provide 360-degree visibility of condensate levels, while the durable zinc and aluminium bodies are designed to withstand demanding environmental conditions.
Features:
Integrated Filter and Regulator
This device combines particulate filtration and pressure regulation into one compact unit, effectively saving valuable installation space. By integrating these two functions, it simplifies the setup and enhances overall system efficiency.
Excelon Modular System
The system supports both in-line and modular installation options, allowing seamless connection with other Excelon air preparation products through Quickclamp fittings. This flexibility ensures easy integration and expansion within various pneumatic setups.
Filtration Options
Two filtration grades are available to suit different needs: 5 µm and 40 µm sintered polypropylene filter elements. These filters efficiently remove contaminants, ensuring clean air flow and protecting downstream equipment.
Drain Configurations
Users can select between manual and automatic drain options. The manual version features a convenient 1/4-turn drain valve, while the automatic configuration offers hassle-free condensate removal without manual intervention.
Transparent Polycarbonate Bowls
The bowls are made from transparent polycarbonate, providing 360-degree visibility of condensate levels. This design enables easy and quick monitoring to maintain optimal performance.
Adjustment and Safety Features
The push-to-lock adjustment knob prevents accidental changes in pressure settings. For added security, a tamper-resistant cover is also available to protect against unauthorized adjustments.
Relieving and Balanced Valve Design
The relieving design helps reduce downstream pressure when the system is dead-ended. Additionally, the balanced valve design minimizes the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations on outlet pressure, ensuring stable and consistent regulation.
Pressure Monitoring and Maintenance
Full flow 1/8" gauge ports allow for accurate pressure monitoring without restricting airflow. The quick-release bayonet bowl enables rapid removal for filter element replacement and maintenance, all without the need for tools.
