## Summary description

Ancel S160 is a smoke generator designed for leak detection in automotive and HVAC systems. The portable unit produces visible smoke to locate leaks in intake, vacuum, exhaust and ductwork. Supplied as a compact tool for workshop and field use, it helps technicians quickly identify faulty seals, hoses or connections and speeds up diagnostics and repairs.

## Long description

The Ancel S160 leak detection smoke generator is a compact diagnostic tool for locating air and fluid leaks in vehicle systems. It produces visible smoke to identify faults such as crankcase air leaks, intake manifold gasket leaks, intercooler leaks, improperly closed valves and fuel system leaks. The unit works in Smoke and Air modes, with a flow rate below 10 l/min and an operating pressure range of 0.8–14.5 PSI. A built-in air pump eliminates the need for an external compressor and the device is suitable for testing intake, cooling, EVAP, crankcase, fuel tank, exhaust and other piping systems.
Advantages
The integrated air pump allows the S160 to run directly from a 12 V battery without an external compressed air source, increasing mobility and reducing setup time. Smoke generation begins in under 10 seconds after startup; a single 20 ml refill of test oil is required to begin diagnostics. Overheat and freeze protection safeguard both the operator and the unit, while a durable metal housing and ergonomic handle provide robustness for workshop and field use.
