Flow Assembly for Optical Water Quality Measurement
The Endress+Hauser CAV01 Flow Assembly is designed as a bypass flow cell for optical sensors used in water and wastewater analysis applications.
The assembly provides a controlled measurement environment for optical sensors, ensuring stable sample flow and reliable sensor performance. When combined with a Memosens Wave CAS80E spectrometer or Viomax CAS51D sensor, the CAV01 enables continuous monitoring of multiple water quality parameters without the need for chemical reagents.
Typical applications include:
Drinking water monitoring
Process water analysis
Wastewater monitoring
Surface water measurement
Water reuse systems
Cooling water and condensate monitoring
Optical Measurement Without Chemical Reagents
The CAV01 is designed for optical measurement systems that use light absorption technology to analyze water composition.
Combined with compatible optical sensors, it supports measurement of parameters including:
SAC254
TOC equivalent
COD equivalent
BOD equivalent
DOC equivalent
Turbidity
Total suspended solids (TSS)
Nitrate
APHA/Hazen color
This allows users to monitor multiple water quality indicators with a single measuring point, reducing system complexity and maintenance requirements.
Compatible with Memosens Wave CAS80E and Viomax CAS51D
The CAV01 is designed specifically for Endress+Hauser optical sensors, including:
Memosens Wave CAS80E digital spectrometer
Viomax CAS51D nitrate and SAC sensor
With these sensors installed, the flow assembly can support monitoring of up to five parameters simultaneously, providing comprehensive information about water quality conditions.
The fixed sensor orientation and optimized flow path help maintain consistent measurement conditions and improve measurement reliability.
Low Sample Flow and Reduced Water Consumption
One of the key advantages of the CAV01 is its ability to perform accurate measurements with a low sample flow rate.
The assembly supports sample flows from 0.1 to 10 l/h, helping minimize water consumption while maintaining stable measurement performance.
This makes it suitable for applications where:
Sample availability is limited
Water loss needs to be minimized
Continuous monitoring is required
Integrated Pressure Cleaning for Extended Maintenance Intervals
The CAV01 features an integrated pressure cleaning function designed to reduce sensor fouling and extend maintenance intervals.
Automatic cleaning helps remove deposits from the optical measurement path, improving:
Long-term measurement stability
Sensor availability
Maintenance efficiency
This is particularly valuable in wastewater and process water applications where suspended solids and deposits may affect optical measurement performance.
