VD 500 - Flow sensor for wet compressed air

Stock Code:

PRODUCT DETAILS

This high-flow thermal mass flow meter offers unique sensitivity in the lower measuring range, measuring velocities from as low as 2 m/s. This capability allows it to cover the complete operating range of variable speed drive (VSD) compressors, while also being particularly suitable for extremely high flow rates.

The instrument measures flow, total consumption, temperature, and pressure in a single device. It is designed for high-temperature applications with a maximum medium temperature of 180 °C and can be installed in pipe diameters ranging from DN 20 to DN 600.

Installation is performed under pressure via a standard ½″ ball valve, enabling fast commissioning without system shutdown. The integrated display and intuitive operation ensure straightforward configuration and monitoring.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Measurement of compressor capacity

Compressed air audits
