Reduce your energy costs & increase efficiency with the VD500

The VD 500 is an innovative flow monitor that measures the delivery rate of your compressor in real time and creates a Flow Analysis Diagram (FAD). This diagram provides invaluable information about your compressor’s performance so you can make informed decisions about efficiency and cost savings.

To automate and control this process, the VD 500 integrates directly with the ezeio hardware via modbus for accurate reporting and control capabilities. Learn more about this in the "automate + control" tab above.

Field of application:

Measuring directly after the compressor
Measuring at high temperatures
Measuring fast processes

Advantages of the differential pressure sensor VD 500:

Proven measuring principle by measuring the differential pressure (dynamic pressure)
Pressure and temperature compensated, thus output of the standard volume flow rate
Particularly suitable for extremely high flow rates
Extremely fast response time of 100 ms
Quick and easy installation via a ½" ball valve
No moving parts, therefore low maintenance effort
Negligible low pressure loss due to negligible low blockage of the diameter
Applicable for wet and hot compressed air directly after the compressor

Typical Applications:

Measurement of the delivery quantity of compressors
Compressed air audits
Efficiency measurement of compressed air systems

Installation conditions:

After working water separator
In horizontal lines (recommended) or in risers

Technical details:

04...20 mA, pulse and a Modbus RTU (RS 485) interface as standard
Optional interfaces like Modbus TCP (Ethernet), PoE, M-Bus
Pressure range up to 20 bar
Temperature range up to 180°C
Integrated display to show the measured values
Available from DN20 to DN500
Easy installation under pressure
Settings adjustable via the keys of the display
Main counter reading can be reset via the display
Can be used for velocities up to 600 Nm/s
High accuracy with 1.5% deviation of the measured value
