Overview
The Norgren F73C-2AN-QT0 is an Excelon series coalescing filter engineered for compressed air applications requiring high-efficiency oil and particulate removal. This modular filter unit operates at up to 150 PSI (10 bar) and features 0.01µm filtration precision, making it suitable for pneumatic control systems, automated machinery, and process air applications where clean, dry air is critical. The aluminum die-cast housing and quick-release bayonet connection simplify installation and bowl replacement in both inline and modular configurations.
