Our customer’s challenge is to bridge the gap between the facility’s fuel gas storage and the fuel consumer in the testbed while:
- Ensuring operator safety
- Measuring fuel consumption with high repeatability
- Avoiding fuel gas release to the testbed
- Meeting the consumer’s fuel gas requirements
- Ensuring quick implementation and integration
Operator Safety
Is of the highest importance and various measures must be taken to ensure it.
Setup Time
Is as short as possible so that the focus of activities is on testing.
Fuel Consumption
Is highly repeatable to avoid multiple measurements.
Footprint
Is low to allow retrofitting into existing testbeds.
Our compact products are used for the development and optimization of H2/CNG internal combustion engines and fuel cell systems. Depending on the application, we can offer the correct device variant to meet the requirements for accurate pressure and flow measurement.

Remote Pressure Control
We have built in remote pressure control to enable the convenient adjustment of the supply pressure to the consumer. This helps validate pressure drop scenarios in your application.
Integrated Safety Routines
Any unwanted release of fuel gas to the testbed is avoided by ensuring that the fuel gas connection to the consumer is correctly mounted.
Reliable Fuel Consumption
The dedicated pressure control setup coupled with the second sensor option leads to trustworthy and repeatable fuel consumption results.
Compact Design
The low footprint combined with the optional trolley enables flexible installation.

WEBINAR - The trend towards renewable energy sources will continue under the pre-amble of GHG emission reduction targets. The available renewable energy is higher than the global energy demand. The question is how to harvest and store it properly?
AVL’s Jürgen Rechberger, Business Field Leader Hydrogen and Fuel Cell talks about Hydrogen and E-Fuels as the enabler of a renewable energy and mobility system. The presentation was originally held at the 43rd International Vienna Motor Symposium.
AVL Italia has won the tender issued by Ente Autonomo Volturno (EAV), a company of the Campania Region operating in the public road and rail transport sector, for the construction of a 5MW (megawatt) green hydrogen production plant, with on-site storage and a 350 bar refueling station, for local public transport trains and buses.
AVL, TUPY and partners developed and tested a hydrogen high-pressure direct injection (H2-HPDI) engine, achieving a brake thermal efficiency (BTE) of over 50 %, with potential improvements up to 52 %. The engine's performance is comparable to diesel engines, with similar full load power and transient torque characteristics.
