VA 500/520

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the VA 500/520 flow sensors, which are designed for measuring the flow of compressed air and gases using a calorimetric measuring principle. This method eliminates the need for additional pressure and temperature compensation. The sensors feature digital evaluation electronics for precise and fast measurements and include a standard integrated Modbus output for parameter transfer.
Specifications: The VA 500/520 sensors are available for pipe diameters ranging from DN 15 to DN 300. They are suitable for measuring compressed air and other gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and CO2. These sensors can be used in both stationary and mobile applications, with outputs available for data transfer to building management systems or PLCs.
Design and Installation: The sensors have a compact design that facilitates easy monitoring of compressed air systems. The VA 520 model includes a removable measuring device that can be cleaned without dismounting the measuring section, eliminating the need for a bypass line. Quick couplings allow for rapid integration into existing pipelines.
Technical Features: The sensors provide high measuring accuracy, even in lower ranges, making them ideal for leakage measurement. They operate on a calorimetric measuring principle, which requires no mechanically moved parts and results in negligible pressure loss. The integrated Modbus interface allows connection to superior control systems like energy management systems and SCADA.
Applications: The VA 500/520 sensors are used for compressed air balancing, consumption measurement, leakage detection, and flow measurement of process gases. They are also applicable in nitrogen generators and mobile compressed air measurement in front of single machines or plants.
Advantages: The sensors offer comprehensive diagnostic functions accessible via display or remote access through Modbus. They provide easy and affordable installation, with freely selectable units via display keys. Designed for high-pressure applications, the sensors can be calibrated with an ISO certificate upon request.

VA 500/520-2

With and without flange Intelligent solutions for accurate flow measurement for compressed air and gases The new affordable flow sensors VA520 work according to the approved calorimetric measuring principle. An additonal pressure and temperature compenstation is not necessary. Contrary to the previously used bridge circuit the newly developed evaluation electronics records all measured values digitally. This enables very precise and fast measurements. Due to the new evaluation electronics all VA520 have an integrated Modbus output as a standard. So all parameters can be transferred via Modbus. Due...

In case of compressed air meters with integrated measuring section the ..measuring device" cannot be removed. For this reason an expensive bypass line is necessary. The design of VA 520 enables the removal and cleaning of the ..measuring device" with e.g. soap water without any dismounting of the measuring section. A closing cap grants a continuous use of the line for the duration of the cleaning. A bypass line is not necessary. The alignment pin grants an accurate installation ofthe measuring device. In most cases the compressed air is not free from oil, condensate, dirt and particles. In the...

What are the advantages of the flow measuring technology of CS Instruments ? 1) Even under pressure, the flow sensor VA 500 is mounted by means ofa standard 1/2“ ball valve. During mounting and dismounting the safety ring avoids an uncontrolled ejection of the probe which may be caused by the operating pressure. For the mounting into different pipe diameters VA 500 is available in the following probe lengths: 120, 160, 220, 300, 400 mm. So the flow sensors are being mounted into existing pipelines with inner diameters of 1/2“ upwards. The exact positioning of the sensor in the middle of the pipe...
