Product Description:
The Norgren B72G and B73G series represent high-performance filter regulators within the Excelon modular air preparation system. These integrated devices combine both filtration and pressure regulation functionalities into a single, compact housing. They effectively remove water and solid contaminants from compressed air lines while ensuring precise control of downstream pressure.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the Excelon system allows these units to be installed either in-line or as part of a modular setup alongside other Excelon components. Utilizing Quickclamp connections, the series supports easy expansion and simplifies maintenance procedures, enhancing overall system efficiency.
The B72G series is available with G1/4 and G3/8 port sizes, providing a flow rate of 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM). In contrast, the B73G series offers a wider range of port options—G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2—and supports a higher flow rate of 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). Both models incorporate a balanced valve design, which minimizes the influence of inlet pressure fluctuations on the outlet pressure, ensuring stable and reliable regulation.
These filter regulators come equipped with sintered polypropylene filter elements available in 5 µm or 40 µm ratings, and they offer both manual and automatic drain configurations. Such versatility makes them suitable for a broad spectrum of industrial applications requiring precise air preparation and contaminant removal.
Additional features include a push-to-lock adjustment knob protected by a tamper-resistant cover, and a quick-release bayonet bowl that simplifies maintenance tasks. Full flow gauge ports allow for pressure monitoring without affecting airflow, while transparent polycarbonate bowls provide 360-degree visibility of condensate levels. The units are constructed with durable zinc and aluminium bodies, making them well-suited for demanding operational environments.
Features:
Integrated Filter and Regulator Overview
The integrated filter and regulator combines particulate filtration with pressure regulation within a single, compact unit. This design helps save valuable installation space while ensuring efficient air preparation.
Excelon Modular System Compatibility
Featuring the Excelon Modular System, this product supports both in-line and modular installations. It seamlessly connects with other Excelon air preparation components using convenient Quickclamp connections.
Filtration Options
Two filtration grades are available to meet various application needs. Users can select from 5 µm or 40 µm sintered polypropylene filter elements for effective removal of contaminants.
Drain Configurations
The design offers flexibility through manual and automatic drain options. Choose either a manual 1/4-turn drain or an automatic drain setup based on maintenance preferences.
Monitoring and Adjustment Features
Transparent polycarbonate bowls provide 360° visibility of condensate levels, allowing easy monitoring. The push-to-lock adjustment knob prevents accidental pressure changes and can be enhanced with a tamper-resistant cover for added security.
Advanced Design Characteristics
The relieving design enables downstream pressure reduction when the system is dead-ended. Additionally, the balanced valve design minimizes the influence of inlet pressure fluctuations on outlet pressure, ensuring stable regulation.
Additional Functionalities
Full flow 1/8" gauge ports permit pressure monitoring without restricting airflow. The quick-release bayonet bowl allows fast and tool-free removal for element replacement and maintenance.
