RIEGLER FRES.G12R.1-15B Operating Instructions

1. Intended use
Filter regulator for compressed air or gas; for filtering and reducing the outlet pressure to a pressure independent of the
flow. Filter regulators cannot be used to control flow or as a shut-off valve. These stainless steel filter regulators also act
as a compact spring-loaded pressure regulator; in addition to pressure regulation, filter regulators are equipped with
filtration and water extraction features.
The compressed air sucked in by a compressor contains many tiny dirt particles, which, when concentrated and travelling
at high velocity, may block openings and make it more difficult for parts to move. When compressed air cools, the dew
point drops and, depending on the weather conditions, considerable quantities of water may be extracted. The
consequences are rusting of compressed air tools, pneumatic elements and piping systems. The filter function extracts
liquids and impurities from the compressed air, ensuring low-maintenance operation of compressed air devices. Selecting
the right pore size of the filter element depends on your requirements. The filter regulator ensures that compressed air or
gas is first cleaned and after that the pressure is reduced.
Stainless steel filter regulators are not equipped with a swirl cap; because of this design they are not suitable for
extracting liquid, only for filtering solid particles.
