CAP3070 PN: particle measurement sensor

Compliant with the latest European requirements, the CAP3070 guarantees reliable and accurate measurement. Thanks to Extended Diffusion Charging technology, it detects nanoparticles in a range from the nanometre to the micron.

Do the particulate filters fitted to vehicles work as well as we imagine?

The good news: yes, they work extremely well. The bad news: a significant proportion (15 per cent) have a fault and emit up to 10,000 times more particles. The result: the average particulate emissions from the entire fleet are underestimated by a factor of 5.

Pioneering European countries, such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany, intend to put an end to this mess. To do so, they need reliable, high-performance and accessible equipment: the CAP3070. Very soon, petrol (GPF) and diesel (DPF) filters will be tested and replaced. The objectives are to protect the planet and make vehicle inspection of the vehicle fleet standard practice.

Thanks to new technology that prevents soot build-up and requires little maintenance, the CAP3070 unit opens up new possibilities for operators: performance, accuracy and sensitivity.
