AVL GCA – consistent with AVL BOOST
Calculation of non-measureable parameters
Mastering complexity – rating plausibility
Gasoline engines use a broad range of
different technologies such as the highly flexible
valve-train system. This requires detailed
knowledge of the thermodynamic processes
in the combustion chamber –
especially regarding the relationship between
mixture preparation, charge motion,
combustion stability and wall heat loss as
it is crucial for reducing fuel consumption.
The measurement equipment at many test
cells is set up with a low pressure sensor
in the intake manifold and another in the
exhaust. GCA provides a complete gas
dynamics evaluation considering not only
gas mass propagation, but also effects like
natural charging.
AVL GCA is the result of continuous effort
by a development team involving AVL’s three
main columns.
