IMI Norgren 74 Series Air Source Triple Unit: Detailed Information

I. Product Overview

The IMI Norgren 74 Series Air Source Triple Unit is a combined device that integrates air filtration, pressure regulation, and lubrication functions. It is an indispensable key component in pneumatic systems. This unit can pre-treat compressed air, providing clean, dry, stable, and properly lubricated compressed air for pneumatic equipment. This ensures the normal operation of pneumatic systems and extends the service life of the equipment.

II. Components and Functions

1. Air Filter (Filter)

• Function: It removes solid particles, dust, moisture, and oil contaminants from compressed air. Through the filtering action of the filter element, larger particles are intercepted on the surface of the filter element, while smaller particles are removed through deep filtration, ensuring the cleanliness of the air entering subsequent equipment.

• Features: The 74 Series air filters typically use high-precision filter element materials, offering high filtration efficiency. They have a large filtration area, which can accommodate a significant amount of impurities and extend the replacement cycle of the filter element. Additionally, some models are equipped with automatic drainage devices that can promptly discharge the filtered moisture and impurities, reducing manual maintenance workload.

2. Pressure Regulator (Regulator)

• Function: It reduces and stabilizes a relatively high inlet pressure to the required outlet pressure, keeping the outlet pressure constant regardless of changes in inlet pressure and flow rate. In pneumatic systems, different pneumatic components have varying requirements for working air pressure. The pressure regulator can precisely adjust the air pressure according to actual needs, ensuring that pneumatic equipment operates under the appropriate pressure.

• Features: The 74 Series pressure regulators have sensitive pressure regulation performance and a wide adjustment range, meeting the pressure requirements of different pneumatic systems. They adopt advanced sealing structures with minimal leakage, ensuring accurate pressure regulation. Moreover, pressure regulators are usually equipped with pressure gauges that can intuitively display the outlet pressure, facilitating adjustment and monitoring by operators.

3. Oil Lubricator (Lubricator)

• Function: It atomizes lubricating oil into tiny droplets and delivers them along with compressed air to pneumatic components, lubricating the moving parts of the pneumatic components to reduce wear and extend their service life. In pneumatic systems, some pneumatic components (such as cylinders and pneumatic motors) require lubrication for their moving parts to reduce friction and wear. The oil lubricator can achieve automatic and uniform lubrication.

• Features: The 74 Series oil lubricators can precisely control the amount of oil dripped, ensuring effective lubrication while avoiding waste of lubricating oil. They use special atomization structures to produce uniformly fine oil droplets that can better adhere to the surfaces of pneumatic components. In addition, oil lubricators are usually equipped with oil level observation windows, allowing operators to add lubricating oil in a timely manner.

III. Performance Parameters

1. Flow Rate Range: Different models of the 74 Series Air Source Triple Unit have varying flow rate ranges. Common flow rate ranges range from a few liters per minute to several tens of liters per minute, and can be selected according to the actual needs of the pneumatic system.

2. Filtration Precision: The filtration precision of air filters is usually expressed in micrometers (μm). The filtration precision of the 74 Series air filters can reach different levels such as 5μm and 10μm, meeting the air cleanliness requirements of different pneumatic systems.

3. Pressure Regulation Range: The pressure regulators have a wide pressure regulation range. Generally, they can be adjusted from zero pressure to a relatively high pressure value, for example, 0 - 1.0MPa or 0 - 1.6MPa, adapting to various pneumatic equipment with different working pressures.

4. Operating Temperature Range: The 74 Series Air Source Triple Unit can usually operate normally within a relatively wide temperature range. The general operating temperature range is -10℃ - +60℃, and some special models can adapt to an even wider temperature range.

IV. Installation and Use

1. Installation Location: The air source triple unit should be installed at the air inlet of the pneumatic system, close to the air source, to ensure comprehensive pre-treatment of the compressed air entering the system. When installing, pay attention to the direction and ensure that the air flow direction is consistent with the arrow direction marked on the triple unit.

2. Connection Method: It is usually connected to other pneumatic components using threaded connections or quick-connect couplings. For threaded connections, select appropriate thread specifications and sealing materials to ensure a firm and well-sealed connection. Quick-connect couplings offer the advantage of convenient and fast installation.

3. Usage Precautions

• Before use, check whether all components of the air source triple unit are intact and whether the connections are tight.

• According to the requirements of the pneumatic system, reasonably adjust the outlet pressure of the pressure regulator to avoid damage to the pneumatic components caused by excessive or insufficient pressure.

• Regularly inspect the filter element of the air filter and replace it in a timely manner based on the degree of clogging to ensure the filtering effect.

• Regularly add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the oil lubricator and check whether the oil dripping rate is normal.

• When used in winter or low-temperature environments, pay attention to preventing water from freezing in the air source triple unit. Heating or insulation measures can be taken.

V. Application Fields

The IMI Norgren 74 Series Air Source Triple Unit is widely used in various pneumatic systems, including but not limited to the following fields:

1. Industrial Automation: In automated production lines, robots, assembly lines, and other equipment, it provides clean and stable compressed air for pneumatic actuators (such as cylinders and pneumatic fingers) to ensure the precise operation of the equipment.

2. Automotive Manufacturing: It is used in pneumatic tools, pneumatic fixtures, and pneumatic testing equipment in the automotive production process, ensuring the efficiency and quality stability of automotive manufacturing.

3. Food and Beverage: On food and beverage production lines, it supplies compressed air that meets hygiene standards for pneumatic conveying equipment and pneumatic packaging equipment, ensuring the safety and hygiene of products.

4. Electronics and Semiconductors: In the electronics and semiconductor manufacturing process, it strictly filters and purifies compressed air to prevent impurities from contaminating electronic components, ensuring the quality and reliability of products.
