AVL CANLOAD™

Canister Conditioning System supporting a wide range of evaporative test solutions.

AVL CANLOAD™

AVL CANLOAD was specially designed for the automated execution of conditioning and aging cycles of canisters containing activated carbon from the automotive sector. The canister is cyclically loaded with a butane/nitrogen or a fuel vapor/nitrogen mixture and then rinsed again. Such test procedures are a mandatory prerequisite for international type certification as part of the performance of evaporative emission or refueling tests on vehicles in a SHED chamber. CANLOAD systems serve to ensure correct functioning of the canister and its transfer to a defined operating state. Due to the various available options, AVL CANLOAD systems are versatile to be used for pre-development as well as for research purposes. 

AVL CANLOAD is versatile and supports a wide range of test procedures and applications:

  • Canister conditioning for international type approval of vehicles
  • BWC (Butane Weight Capacity) & GWC (Gasoline Weight Capacity) testing
  • Canister aging tests with real fuel as a mandatory precondition for EU certification
  • Rapid loading cycles  of canisters for the simulation of a refueling operation (ORVR)
  • Canister pressure surge simulation (‘puff-loss’ testing) for the use in pressure tanks
  • Dynamic purging / ‚real life‘ simulation using stored Ṽ/t curve profile
  • Dynamic loading / ‚real life‘ simulation using stored ṁ/t curve profile
  • Development tests to improve scavenging efficiency, especially for hybrid vehicles
  • Influence analysis of the ambient conditions on the purging behavior of the canister
  • Influence analysis of the AKF installation position on the loading or purging behavior of the AKF
