Product Description:
The Norgren B72G and B73G series represent high-performance filter regulators within the Excelon modular air preparation system. These integrated units seamlessly combine filtration and pressure regulation into one compact housing. They effectively remove water and solid particles from compressed air lines while ensuring precise control of downstream pressure.
Designed with versatility in mind, the Excelon system allows these units to be installed either in-line or modularly alongside other Excelon products. Using Quickclamp connections, this design facilitates easy expansion and straightforward maintenance of the air preparation system.
The B72G series comes equipped with G1/4 and G3/8 port options, delivering a flow rate of 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM). On the other hand, the B73G series offers G1/4, G3/8, and G1/2 port sizes and supports a higher flow rate of 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). Both models incorporate a balanced valve design to minimize the impact of inlet pressure fluctuations on outlet pressure, ensuring consistent regulation.
These filter regulators provide flexibility through optional 5 µm or 40 µm sintered polypropylene filter elements, along with manual or automatic drain configurations. Such features make them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Additional design highlights include a push-to-lock adjustment knob covered by a tamper-resistant cap, a quick-release bayonet bowl for hassle-free maintenance, and full flow gauge ports that allow pressure monitoring without restricting airflow. The transparent polycarbonate bowls grant 360-degree visibility of condensate levels. Moreover, options of zinc or aluminium bodies enhance durability, making these units reliable in demanding environments.
Features:
Integrated Filter and Regulator
This device combines particulate filtration and pressure regulation into a single compact unit, which helps to save valuable installation space. By integrating these functions, it streamlines the air preparation process.
Excelon Modular System
The system supports both in-line and modular installation with other Excelon air preparation products. Quickclamp connections enable easy and flexible assembly, enhancing versatility in various setups.
Filtration Options
Two filtration grades are available, featuring 5 µm or 40 µm sintered polypropylene filter elements. These options provide effective removal of contaminants to ensure clean air supply.
Drain Mechanisms
Users can choose between manual and automatic drain configurations. The manual version includes a 1/4-turn drain, while the automatic option offers hands-free condensate removal.
Visibility and Monitoring
Transparent polycarbonate bowls provide 360-degree visibility of condensate levels, making it easy to monitor the state of the system without needing to disassemble components.
Adjustment and Safety Features
The push-to-lock adjustment knob prevents accidental changes in pressure settings, ensuring consistent operation. Additionally, a tamper-resistant cover is available for added security.
Pressure Management
The relieving design enables downstream pressure reduction when the system is dead-ended. The balanced valve design minimizes the impact of inlet pressure variations on the outlet pressure, resulting in stable regulation.
Additional Functionalities
Full flow 1/8" gauge ports allow for pressure monitoring without restricting airflow. The quick-release bayonet bowl mechanism facilitates fast removal for element replacement and maintenance without the need for tools.
Performance Specifications
The B72G model offers a high flow capacity of 38 dm³/s (80 SCFM), while the B73G model provides 50 dm³/s (106 SCFM). Outlet pressure can be adjusted over a wide range from 0.3 to 10 bar. Maximum inlet pressure ratings include 10 bar for transparent bowls and 17 bar for metal bowls.
Operating Conditions
The temperature range for operation is -34°C to +50°C with polycarbonate bowls, and -20°C to +65°C when using metal bowls.
