Introduction to particle counting

Until now, only smoke opacity and exhaust gases were measured during emissions testing of diesel vehicles. The new vehicle inspection, introduced in several EU countries, makes the measurement of particulate matter mandatory.

Technical inspection centres wishing to continue testing diesel vehicles fitted with a particulate filter now require a particle counter.

PN measurement is mandatory for:

the Netherlands: from Euro 5 onwards,

Germany: from Euro 6 onwards,

Belgium: from Euro 5 onwards.

The Capelec PN COUNTER is very easy to use.

Results are displayed in real time via Bluetooth on a laptop, tablet or smartphone. Procedures and results are assessed in accordance with country-specific guidelines.

The PN COUNTER Capelec is based on Extended DC technology.

The Extended DC principle involves electrically charging particles by diffusing a high density of ions. The particles are drawn in by a flow of clean air via the Venturi effect. The design of the flow path keeps the sensor clean, thereby increasing its operational life and reducing maintenance.

ADVANTAGES OF THE CAP3070

Capelec’s particle measurement enables garages and technical inspection centres to work productively and efficiently:

• •    fast measurement
• •    cost-effective and sustainable
• •    low maintenance
• •    easy to implement
• •    easy to use.
