NEW CAP3070 PN COUNTER PARTICLE MEASUREMENT SENSOR
What makes this equipment unique?:
Equally suited to the needs of vehicle inspection and the repair industry, the particle measurement capabilities of the CAP3070 benefit the entire CAPELEC product line. Multiple configurations are possible based on the four measurement technologies: Gas analyzers (Gasoline/LPG/NGV), opacimeter (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 repair shops to be more productive? :
Measurements are taken at idle, eliminating the need for free acceleration—which is polluting, noisy, and stressful for both engines and operators.
The procedure, which takes 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
for 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) generated by the charged particles as they leave the sensor.
The through-flow design keeps the sensor clean for extended operating life, eliminating the need for even low-cost maintenance.
