How Carbon Clean UK is helping garages drive profits by Mike Ruff, GW Editor
GWTV goes to SN Autohaus in Illford, Essex to see Carbon Clean’s CC-16 machine in action. DEVELOPED specifically for the UK’s automotive aftermarket, Carbon Clean UK offers a unique engine decarbonising system that promises to not only improve vehicle emissions and performance but also provides
“Using just tap water, the technology breaks water down into oxygen and hydrogen molecules” garage support material to ensure workshops and mobile mechanics can successfully sell the service to their customers and benefit from the profit opportunities available.
The technology that sets the CC-16 machine apart is its use of electrolysis. Using just tap water, the technology breaks water down into oxygen and hydrogen molecules – these are then blown into the engine as an oxyhydrogen gas mixture to accelerate combustion and clear residues that can lead to loss of power, increased fuel consumption and increased engine component wear.
Engine decarbonisation Putting the machine to the test, we brought a Volvo C30 1.8 petrol into the workshop. Here, we programmed the machine to the requirements of the Volvo’s engine and connected an emergency shutdown protection system to the car’s battery – a safety feature which is triggered should the engine stall. The gas mixture is fed from the machine through a hose, which we insert
