Capelec: Jury’s Favourite at the 2021 Equipment of the Year Awards

NEW CAP3070 PN COUNTER PARTICLE MEASUREMENT SENSOR
What makes this equipment unique?:
Equally suited to the needs of vehicle inspection centres and the repair sector, the particle measurement offered by the CAP3070 benefits the entire Capelec range. A wide range of combinations is possible based on the four measurement technologies: gas analysers (petrol/LPG/NGV), smoke meters (diesel), EOBD and standalone PN particle measurements.
The CAP3070 measures particulate matter without requiring costly maintenance for the user or expensive consumables.
To what extent does the equipment
enable workshops to be more productive? :
The measurement is carried out at idle, without the need for free acceleration, which is polluting, noisy and stressful for both engines and operators.
The procedure, taking less than 30 seconds, provides an unambiguous PASS/FAIL result… regarding the condition of the filters (in good condition, cracked, tampered with).
Does it offer new possibilities
to garage mechanics? :
The CAP3070’s technology, which is not clogged by soot and requires little maintenance, is based on advanced charge diffusion. This works by electrostatically charging (15 kV) the particles passing through the sensor, then measuring the current (fA) induced by the charged particles as they leave the sensor.
The straight-through design keeps the sensor clean for extended periods of operation, eliminating the need for even low-cost maintenance.
