VP Flowscope DP

Ren Engineering Solutions: VP Flowscope DP FLOW METER Energy Monitoring Device

The VPFlowScope^® DP is the ultimate measurement tool for saturated compressed air flow measurements. The unique design enables you to take measurements in the discharge pipe of a compressor under 100% saturated conditions. You can combine the probe with two display module types or with a connector cap without display.
The VPFlowScope^® DP flow meter is a patented differential pressure flow meter designed for accurate measurement of saturated and hot compressed air. This innovative 4-in-1 device simultaneously measures bi-directional flow, pressure, temperature, and total flow, giving you a complete insight into your compressed air system’s performance. Because it can be installed under pressure without interrupting production, it’s ideal for continuous operations. The VPFlowScope DP offers major benefits such as improved compressor efficiency, accurate performance monitoring, and reliable energy audits. Its built-in data logger and VPStudio software make it easy to analyze data, identify losses, and uncover energy-saving opportunities. Compact yet powerful, the VPFlowScope DP provides a cost-effective and practical way to optimize your compressed air network while ensuring process reliability and sustainability.
