CS Instruments VA 525 Compact Inline Flow Meter For Compressed Air And Nitrogen

Description

The VA 525 stands out in the market by combining modern digital interfaces for connection to an energy monitoring system with a small, compact design. Unlike bulky sensors that are difficult to retrofit, the VA 525 is engineered for seamless integration. It is specifically designed to be used when many machines, which act as compressed air consumers, have to be integrated into a comprehensive energy monitoring network.

By placing the sensor at the machine level, operators gain granular visibility into their system’s performance. This detailed monitoring capability empowers users to identify specific inefficiencies, track accurate consumption trends, and perform leakage analysis without the need for multiple complex devices.

Brand

CS Instruments

CS Instruments GmbH & Co. KG with locations in 24955 Harrislee and 78052 Villingen-Schwenningen/ Tannheim, is managed by Dipl. Eng. (FH) Wolfgang Blessing as sole Managing Director.

CS Instruments GmbH was established in the year 2002 by Christian Schuldt and Wolfgang Blessing as equal shareholders/Managing Directors.

Wolfgang Blessing already was sound a specialist on the sector of compressed air technology resp. industrial measurement technology long before the establishment of CS Instruments GmbH in the year 2002. Prior to the foundation of CS Instruments GmbH Dipl. Ing. (FH) Wolfgang Blessing acted for more than 10 years as primarily responsible product manager for industrial measurement technology at a worldwide known manufacturer of measuring instruments for compressed air and gases in the Black Forest. The technical knowledge and experience matched with the long-term practical knowledge was the corner stone for the success of CS Instruments.
