Product Description:
The Norgren B72G and B73G series represent high-performance filter regulators designed as part of the Excelon modular air preparation system. These integrated devices combine both filtration and pressure regulation within a single, compact housing. Their primary function is to remove water and solid particles from compressed air lines while ensuring accurate control of downstream pressure.
The innovative Excelon design supports flexible installation options, allowing these units to be mounted inline or combined modularly with other Excelon components using Quickclamp connections. This feature facilitates effortless system expansion and simplifies ongoing maintenance procedures.
The B72G series is available with G1/4 and G3/8 port sizes, providing a flow rate of 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM). In comparison, the B73G series includes G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2 ports, offering a higher flow capacity of 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). Both series incorporate a balanced valve design that reduces the impact of variations in inlet pressure on the outlet pressure, thereby guaranteeing stable and reliable regulation.
These filter regulators come with options for 5 µm or 40 µm sintered polypropylene filter elements and are available in either manual or automatic drain configurations. Such versatility makes them suitable for a broad spectrum of industrial applications.
Additional features include a push-to-lock adjustment knob protected by a tamper-resistant cover, a quick-release bayonet bowl for convenient servicing, and full-flow gauge ports that enable pressure monitoring without limiting airflow. The transparent polycarbonate bowls allow for 360-degree visibility of condensate levels, while durable zinc and aluminium body materials ensure long-lasting performance even in demanding operating conditions.
Features:
Integrated Filter and Regulator
This compact unit integrates both particulate filtration and pressure regulation, effectively saving valuable installation space by combining two essential functions into one device.
Excelon Modular System
The system supports versatile installation options, allowing for either in-line or modular setups with other Excelon air preparation products. This flexibility is facilitated by convenient Quickclamp connections.
Filtration Grades
Users can select between two filtration grades depending on their needs: 5 µm or 40 µm sintered polypropylene filter elements. Both options provide effective removal of contaminants, ensuring clean airflow.
Drain Options
The device offers manual and automatic draining configurations. Customers can choose a manual 1/4-turn drain or opt for an automatic drain system to suit their maintenance preferences.
Transparent Bowls
Equipped with transparent polycarbonate bowls, this unit provides 360-degree visibility of condensate levels, making it straightforward to monitor and maintain optimal performance.
Adjustment Features
A push-to-lock adjustment knob prevents accidental pressure changes, enhancing safety and reliability. Additionally, a tamper-resistant cover is available to further protect the settings.
Pressure Regulation Design
The relieving design allows for controlled reduction of downstream pressure when the system is dead-ended. Its balanced valve architecture minimizes the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations on outlet pressure, ensuring stable regulation.
Gauge Ports and Maintenance
Full flow 1/8" gauge ports enable pressure monitoring without restricting airflow. The quick-release bayonet bowl mechanism allows for rapid removal of the bowl during element replacement and maintenance, all without the need for tools.
Performance Specifications
The device demonstrates high flow capacity, with the B72G model handling up to 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM) and the B73G model up to 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). It supports a wide outlet pressure range from 0.3 to 10 bar.
Operating Conditions
Maximum inlet pressures are 10 bar for the transparent bowl variant and 17 bar for the metal bowl version. Operating temperature ranges vary from -34°C to +50°C with polycarbonate bowls, and from -20°C to +65°C when using metal bowls.
