With the METPOINT VFS TM, the sensor is pre-installed in a measuring section; subsequent alignment of the sensor is not necessary.
The METPOINT VFS TI is an insertion version with a shaft length of 220 or 400 mm. A switchable line laser assists with exact alignment when installing the sensor in existing pipework. This unique feature, which is much simpler than conventional alignment aids, helps to avoid errors when installing and aligning the sensor. An additional time-of-flight sensor monitors the correct position of the METPOINT VFS TI during operation and provides additional safety.
The open sensor design of the METPOINT VFS devices prevents the accumulation of contamination on the sensor and thus ensures more reliable data acquisition. The sensors are encapsulated in stainless steel housings for protection.
The sensors of the METPOINT VFS device family display the measured values on a bright 2" TFT LCD Super Wide Range display with particularly good lateral legibility. They can be forwarded to data loggers, other display units or higher-level controllers via Modbus RTU.
Regarding the importance of volume flow measurement in compressed air systems
The continuous measurement and evaluation of compressed air consumption significantly supports the energy efficiency of a compressed air system. Optimizing compressed air consumption and reducing energy consumption, e.g. by eliminating leaks, helps to minimize unnecessary operating costs. More efficient use of compressed air leads to lower energy consumption, which in turn reduces CO₂ emissions.
Continuous monitoring of the compressed air flow generates real-time data, the analysis of which enables the air volume flow to be precisely adapted to the respective requirements, makes maintenance plannable and thus increases the efficiency, performance and reliability of the system.
