Norgren L72C-2AP-QDN Excelon Oil Fog Lubricator - 1/4in PTF
Part Number: L72C-2AP-QDN
Quick Summary
The Excelon oil fog lubricator from Norgren provides precise lubrication for compressed air systems in automation equipment. Engineers often struggle with inconsistent oil-air ratios and tool wear when lubrication is unreliable on long lines or high-cycle tools. Important certifications to verify in this class typically include CE marking and IP protection for metal bowls and enclosures, as well as SIL considerations for safety-critical lines; always confirm with the official datasheet. This model’s inline installation flexibility and rugged Excelon design deliver business value by reducing downtime, extending tool life, and improving maintenance planning for automated manufacturing environments.

Feature → Inline or modular installation simplifies system design and reduces integration time, enabling faster commissioning and easier retrofits. Impact → Faster deployment lowers project cost and minimizes downtime during installation. Application → Ideal for automation lines that require flexible mounting options and scalable lubrication solutions. Feature → Oil fog technology delivers a nearly constant oil-to-air ratio across a wide flow range, improving reliability and reducing wear. Impact → Consistent lubrication translates to longer cylinder life, smoother tool operation, and lower maintenance costs. Application → Large bore cylinders, air motors, and high-cycle air tools benefit from stabilized lubrication at varying flow demands. Feature → Manual drain with a liquid level indicator facilitates straightforward maintenance and contamination control. Impact → Easier, cleaner servicing reduces maintenance downtime and extends component life. Application → Environments where accessibility and cleanliness are priorities. Feature → Metal body and bowl constructed from zinc with elastomer seals support durability in harsh conditions. Impact → Enhanced robustness supports operation across wide temperatures (-34 to 65 °C) and demanding industrial settings. Application → Manufacturing floors, workshops, and plant air systems where ruggedness matters. Feature → Flow sensor capability enables a more stable oil/air ratio and predictable lubrication performance. Impact → Improves process consistency, reduces waste, and supports compliance with lubrication standards. Application → Systems requiring tight control of oil delivery in inline configurations.

FAQs
To install, mount the Excelon lubricator at a convenient point in the compressed air line, connect a 1/4in PTF port, and ensure the unit is oriented for easy drainage. For inline installations, place the unit directly in the supply line; for modular setups, use compatible mounting brackets to integrate with manifolds. Verify the flow direction and ensure the liquid level indicator is visible for easy maintenance.
Key specs include port size of 1/4in PTF, maximum inlet pressure of 17 bar, operating temperature range of -34 to 65 °C, and flow capability of 24 dm3/sec (51 scfm) with a start point of 0.47 dm3/sec. Material construction uses zinc for body and bowl, and the unit delivers oil fog lubrication suitable for heavier lubrication over short distances.
Yes. The Excelon design is specifically intended for heavier lubrication requirements over short runs, making it suitable for large bore cylinders, air motors, and air tools. Its flow characteristics and oil fog delivery support reliable lubrication where conventional misting may fail to maintain adequate oil coverage.
Certifications are not explicitly listed in the provided data. When selecting for regulated environments, verify the datasheet and supplier certifications (such as CE and IP protections) to ensure compliance for your specific application and region. Always confirm current certification status with the manufacturer documentation.
Maintenance is simplified by the manual drain and a liquid level indicator, reducing downtime and contamination risk. The flow sensor maintains a stable oil/air ratio, improving tool life and reducing lubricant waste. In terms of ROI, expect lower maintenance costs, fewer unscheduled outages, and longer service intervals for automation equipment.
