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 in a single, compact unit, effectively eliminating water and solid contaminants from compressed air lines while ensuring accurate downstream pressure control. The innovative Excelon design supports either in-line or modular installation alongside other Excelon components, utilizing Quickclamp connections to facilitate straightforward system expansion and simplified maintenance.
The B72G series is offered with G1/4 and G3/8 port sizes and supports a flow rate of up to 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM). In comparison, the B73G series includes G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2 port options, delivering a higher flow capacity of 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). Both series incorporate a balanced valve design that reduces the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations on outlet pressure, thus providing stable and reliable regulation. Additionally, these units come equipped with sintered polypropylene filter elements available in 5 µm or 40 µm ratings, and they offer both manual and automatic drain options, allowing versatility to meet a wide array of industrial requirements.
Designed with user convenience in mind, the units feature a push-to-lock adjustment knob protected by a tamper-resistant cover. Maintenance is simplified with a quick-release bayonet bowl, while full flow gauge ports enable continuous pressure monitoring without restricting airflow. The transparent polycarbonate bowls provide 360-degree visibility to easily monitor condensate levels. Constructed with zinc or aluminium bodies, these filter regulators ensure durable operation even in the most challenging environments.
Features:
Integrated Filter and Regulator Overview
The integrated filter and regulator combines particulate filtration with pressure regulation in one compact unit. This design helps save valuable installation space while ensuring efficient air treatment.
Featuring the Excelon Modular System, this product supports both in-line and modular installation. Users can easily connect it with other Excelon air preparation equipment using the convenient Quickclamp connections.
Filtration Options
The filter is available in two grades: 5 µm and 40 µm sintered polypropylene elements. Both options provide effective removal of contaminants to protect downstream equipment.
Drain and Bowl Features
For condensate management, there are options for a manual 1/4-turn drain or an automatic drain configuration. The transparent polycarbonate bowls provide 360-degree visibility, making it easy to monitor condensate levels at a glance.
Adjustment and Pressure Regulation
The unit is equipped with a push-to-lock adjustment knob that prevents accidental changes in pressure settings. For additional security, a tamper-resistant cover is also available. The relieving design allows for pressure reduction downstream when the system is dead-ended.
A balanced valve design minimizes the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations, ensuring stable outlet pressure regulation for consistent performance.
Additional Features
Full flow 1/8" gauge ports enable pressure monitoring without restricting airflow. Maintenance is simplified with a quick-release bayonet bowl that allows fast removal of the bowl for element replacement without requiring tools.
The unit offers high flow capacity, with models B72G and B73G supporting 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM) and 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM) respectively.
Operating Specifications
The outlet pressure can be adjusted over a wide range from 0.3 to 10 bar. Maximum inlet pressures vary depending on the bowl material: up to 10 bar for transparent bowls and 17 bar for metal bowls.
Operating temperature ranges also depend on the bowl type, with polycarbonate bowls rated from -34°C to +50°C, and metal bowls from -20°C to +65°C.
