Product Description:
The Norgren B72G and B73G series represent high-performance filter regulators within the Excelon modular air preparation system. These integrated units combine both filtration and pressure regulation functions into a single, compact housing. They effectively remove water and solid particles from compressed air lines, while maintaining precise downstream pressure control.
Designed with versatility in mind, the Excelon system accommodates in-line or modular installation alongside other Excelon components. Quickclamp connections simplify system expansion and maintenance, offering an efficient and user-friendly integration process.
The B72G series is offered with G1/4 and G3/8 port sizes, providing a flow rate of 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM). Meanwhile, the B73G series supports G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2 port options, delivering an increased flow rate of 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). Both product lines incorporate a balanced valve design that reduces the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations on the outlet pressure, ensuring stable and reliable regulation.
These units are available with filter elements of either 5 µm or 40 µm sintered polypropylene and offer configurations with either manual or automatic drains. This flexibility makes them well-suited for a broad spectrum of industrial applications.
Key features include a push-to-lock adjustment knob protected by a tamper-resistant cover, a quick-release bayonet-style bowl for simplified maintenance, and full flow gauge ports that allow for pressure monitoring without impeding airflow. Transparent polycarbonate bowls provide 360-degree visibility of condensate levels, while options of zinc and aluminium bodies ensure durability in demanding industrial environments.
Features:
Integrated Filter and Regulator
This device combines particulate filtration and pressure regulation within a single, compact unit. By integrating these functions, it helps save valuable installation space without compromising performance.
Excelon Modular System Compatibility
The system is designed for flexible installation, allowing either in-line or modular setups. It easily connects with other Excelon air preparation products through convenient Quickclamp connections, enhancing system versatility and ease of maintenance.
Filtration Options
Two filtration grades are available to suit different contaminant removal needs. Customers can choose between 5 µm or 40 µm sintered polypropylene filter elements, providing effective filtration for various applications.
Drain Configurations
The product offers both manual and automatic drain options. Users can select a manual 1/4-turn drain or opt for an automatic drain configuration based on their operational preferences.
Transparent Bowls for Easy Monitoring
Equipped with polycarbonate bowls that offer 360° visibility, users can easily monitor condensate levels at a glance. This transparent design simplifies maintenance and ensures timely drain operations.
Secure Adjustment Features
The push-to-lock adjustment knob prevents accidental pressure changes during operation. Additionally, a tamper-resistant cover is available to further safeguard the pressure settings.
Pressure Regulation Design
A relieving design allows for downstream pressure reduction when the system is dead-ended. Meanwhile, the balanced valve design minimizes the impact of inlet pressure variations, ensuring consistent outlet pressure for stable regulation.
Flow and Installation Features
Full flow gauge ports, sized at 1/8", permit pressure monitoring without restricting airflow. The quick-release bayonet bowl mechanism enables fast and tool-free removal of the bowl for element replacement and maintenance.
Performance Specifications
The unit offers high flow capacity with two models: B72G delivers 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM), while B73G provides 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). It supports a wide pressure range with outlet pressure adjustable from 0.3 to 10 bar.
Operating Conditions
The maximum inlet pressure is 10 bar for transparent bowls and 17 bar for metal bowls. Operating temperature ranges vary by bowl material, from -34°C to +50°C for polycarbonate bowls, and -20°C to +65°C for metal bowls, accommodating diverse environmental conditions.

Support and Services:
Our Pneumatic Filter Regulator Lubricator (FRL) units are designed to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your pneumatic systems by providing clean, regulated, and lubricated air supply. For technical support, please refer to the product manual for installation guidelines, maintenance schedules, and troubleshooting tips.
Regular maintenance of the filter element is crucial to prevent contamination and maintain airflow efficiency. It is recommended to check and replace the filter element periodically based on operating conditions.
The regulator should be adjusted to the desired pressure according to the specifications of your pneumatic equipment. Avoid exceeding the maximum pressure rating to prevent damage and ensure safety.
The lubricator should be filled with the appropriate pneumatic oil and monitored to maintain proper lubrication levels, which helps reduce wear and extend the life of pneumatic components.
If you encounter any issues with the FRL unit such as pressure fluctuations, air leaks, or lubrication problems, consult the troubleshooting section of the user manual. Common solutions include checking for clogged filters, verifying regulator settings, and ensuring the lubricator is properly filled and functioning.
