Carbon Clean add new small unit
Published: 16 August, 2018
Carbon Clean, the engine decarbonising system that works on tap water, has launched a new compact CC-14 machine to complement the existing CC-16 unit.
Both machines use electrolysis-based cleaning technology to remove carbon deposits in engines which can cause loss of power, increased fuel consumption and more wear to engine components.
The CC-14 Carbon Clean machine breaks water down into an oxyhydrogen (HHO) gas mixture which is then blown into the engine to accelerate combustion and clear residues.
CC-14 uses 1.3 kW of power to produce 600 litres per hour of HHO. It measures just 65cm x 35cm x 86cm and weighs only 30 kg.
It is ideal for smaller engines and offers a ‘walk-away’ capability thanks to its automated process controls that shut down the machine once a job is completed. The CAMS failsafe safety cut-out ensures the machine will automatically shut down to prevent any gas escaping if the engine stops during the cleaning process too.
Carbon Clean have recently completed a series of successful shows, culminating in Automechanika Birmingham 2017.

- Castrol ON e-thermal fluid
Castrol has launched an new direct battery e-thermal fluid that will mean future EVs can be charged more rapidly. The new Castrol ON e-thermal fluid is an dielectric fluid formulated specifically for direct cooling, where the fluid circulates within the module and in direct contact with individual battery cells. With the Castrol ON e-thermal fluid, temperature spikes within individual cells are also less likely. In addition, because of its lower viscosity compared with existing dielectric transformer oils, it delivers reduced pumping losses. The Castrol ON e-thermal fluid is part of a family of Castrol ON products, which include Castrol ON e-Transmission fluids and Castrol ON
e-Greases.

- £500,000 pledged to Ben following urgent rallying cry, as new Do It 4 Ben initiative is launched
Following an urgent plea for support made by Ben via an open letter to motor industry leaders, the charity has received pledges worth around £500,000. Meanwhile, Do It 4 Ben, a new way to get involved, has also been launched.
- New TPMS kit
Fit2Go TPMS, a global licensee for Michelin, has launched two new tyre pressure products. Michelin TPMS and Michelin Tyre Pressure Checker are both designed to protect against poor tyre maintenance. Michelin TPMS is a next generation retrofit solution for consumer motorists and comes as standard with four TPMS sensors, with four additional sensors available to enable drivers to monitor up to eight tyres on a single journey – making it ideal for towing. At the same time the firm is launching Michelin Tyre Pressure Checker – a new and affordable option for motorists who may already have TPMS as OE. The system works by fitting an NFC-enabled pressure sensor to replace the current valve caps on each tyre. To get a pressure reading, the driver simply holds a pressure checker against the sensor to determine the precise pressure, accurate to within 1.5 psi. There are no batteries in the sensors, and the pressure checker device can be recharged via the supplied USB cable. The new systems are suitable for use on tyres with pressures up to 86 psi and come with a 12-month warranty.
