Product Description:
The Norgren B72G and B73G series represent a line of high-performance filter regulators within the Excelon modular air preparation system. These integrated units combine both filtration and pressure regulation into a single, compact housing. They efficiently remove water and solid contaminants from compressed air lines while maintaining precise control over downstream pressure.
Designed with the Excelon modular system in mind, these units can be installed either in-line or modularly alongside other Excelon components. Their Quickclamp connections allow for effortless system expansion and straightforward maintenance, making them suitable for various industrial setups.
The B72G series is available with G1/4 and G3/8 port sizes, delivering a flow rate of 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM). Meanwhile, the B73G series offers additional port options including G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2, along with a higher flow rate of 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). Both series incorporate a balanced valve design that reduces the influence of inlet pressure fluctuations on the outlet pressure, ensuring consistent and stable regulation.
To cater to diverse industrial requirements, these units come equipped with filter elements made of sintered polypropylene available in 5 µm or 40 µm ratings. They also offer options for either manual or automatic drain configurations, providing users with flexibility based on their specific application needs.
Additional features include a push-to-lock adjustment knob protected by a tamper-resistant cover, a quick-release bayonet bowl that simplifies maintenance tasks, and full-flow gauge ports that enable pressure monitoring without impeding airflow. The transparent polycarbonate bowls allow 360° visibility of condensate levels, while the durable zinc and aluminium body options ensure reliable performance in demanding environments.
Features:
Integrated Filter and Regulator
The device combines particulate filtration and pressure regulation into a single, compact unit. This integration helps to save valuable installation space, making it an efficient solution for air preparation needs.
Excelon Modular System
Featuring the Excelon modular system, this unit allows for flexible installation either in-line or modular with other Excelon air preparation products. Quickclamp connections enhance ease of assembly and maintenance.
Filter Options
Customers can select from two filtration grades, using either 5 µm or 40 µm sintered polypropylene filter elements. Both options provide effective removal of contaminants from the air supply.
Drain Configurations
The product offers both manual and automatic drain options. Users can opt for a manual 1/4-turn drain or choose an automatic drain setup, ensuring flexibility according to application requirements.
Design Features
Transparent polycarbonate bowls provide 360° visibility, enabling easy monitoring of condensate levels. Additionally, the push-to-lock adjustment knob helps prevent accidental pressure changes, with a tamper-resistant cover available for added security.
The relieving design allows for downstream pressure reduction when the system is dead-ended. Meanwhile, the balanced valve design reduces the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations on the outlet pressure, ensuring stable and reliable regulation.
Monitoring and Maintenance
Full flow 1/8" gauge ports permit pressure monitoring without restricting airflow. Maintenance is simplified with a quick-release bayonet bowl that facilitates fast bowl removal and element replacement without the need for tools.
Performance Specifications
The system delivers high flow capacity, with the B72G model supporting 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM) and the B73G model handling 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). The outlet pressure adjustment range spans from 0.3 to 10 bar.
Maximum inlet pressure capabilities are 10 bar for units with a transparent bowl and 17 bar for those equipped with a metal bowl. The operating temperature ranges from -34°C to +50°C for polycarbonate bowls and from -20°C to +65°C for metal bowls.
