The ECS 3000 Canister Conditioning System

ECS 3000 Brochure

Carbon canister development and testing has become a key element in vehicle designer’s efforts to meet ever more demanding governmental emissions regulations. These units function by trapping organic vapors from the fuel system (that might otherwise escape into the environment) onto activated carbon beds within the canister. The adsorbed vapors are then caused to be released back into the intake air to participate in the combustion process.

While straightforward in principle, the performance and testing of these devices are affected by a number of physical-chemical variables. SAKOR has been conducting studies and working with leading experts in this field to better understand these variables and how they affect device performance and test results. Our engineers have experience working with a large range of canister designs for a number of vehicle types. Take advantage of SAKOR’s experience by selecting an ECS 3000 series canister conditioning and test system.
