AirCom B3000 Operating Instructions Manual


Operating Instructions
1. Intended use
Filter pressure regulator for compressed air or gases, for filtering and reduction to a back
pressure independent of the flow rate. Filter pressure regulators cannot be used as flow
rate regulating elements or stop valves. The filter pressure regulators of the B3000 series include the function of a
compact spring-loaded pressure regulator. In addition to pressure control, filter pressure regulators are equipped
with a filtration and water separation function.
The compressed air drawn in by the compressor contains countless fine dirt particles that plug up openings when
highly concentrated and at high speed and make movable parts sluggish. When compressed air cools down, the
dew point drops and larger amounts of water are separated depending on the atmospheric conditions. The results
are rusting compressed air tools, pneumatic components and pipe systems. The filter function separates moisture
and impurities from the compressed air, ensuring low-maintenance operation of pneumatic devices. The choice of
pore size of the filter elements depends on what is required. In the filter pressure regulator, the compressed air or
gas is first cleaned, then the pressure is reduced.
The filter pressure regulators of the B3000 and BM series are not equipped with a twist cap. Therefore, by design,
they are not suited for separating liquids, only for filtering out solid particles.
The general function of a filter pressure regulator is described in the following short movie.

3. Safety
3.1 Safety information
Do not endanger yourself or others. Read the following
safety information before you install, operate or repair fixtures.
They serve to avoid danger to persons and the plant. The handling of technical
gases – in particular flammable, self-igniting or toxic gases – requires expertise, the observation of these usage
instructions and special safety measures. Additionally, any relevant regulations and guidelines must be observed.
(see 3.2)
Use the fixtures only as intended (see section "Intended use"). The same is valid for the gas used with them:
Improper usage can damage the system or even lead to injuries which could be fatal.
Employ gas monitoring devices if you are handling dangerous gases. These monitoring products detect leaks and
warn personnel.
Wear respirator mask, safety goggles as well as safety gloves if you work with toxic gases and ensure good
