Introduction
COMPLETE TOOLBOX FOR COMBUSTION ANALYSIS
AVL is worldwide the only supplier being able to offer solutions for the complete field of combustion
analysis. Based on detailed knowledge and experience in the methodology of combustion analysis
AVL has created practical tools and devices that make the complex thermodynamic processes in
the engine visible and understandable.
SINGLE CYLINDER RESEARCH ENGINE
AVL single cylinder research engines offer the significant advantage of testing
under realistic engine conditions before translating to the full production engine.
From small car engines up to commercial engines they are equipped with optical
top works which offer transparent access to the combustion chamber.
AVL PRESSURE SENSORS
A precise, stable, and highly accurate cylinder pressure signal delivered by the
pressure sensor is the basis for high quality combustion analysis. AVL provides
a wide range of sensors needed for combustion analysis tasks.
DATA ACQUISITION PLATFORM – AVL X-ion™
Confronted with the growing diversity and complexity of modern powertrains,
AVL has developed AVL X-ion™ – the cutting-edge high-speed data acquisition
platform. X-ion is a modular acquisition system that can be easily adapted to
different units under test and test environments. The X-FEMs optimally combine
the analog-digital converter with signal conditioning. The unique architecture
offers outstanding signal quality, especially of interest for thermodynamic analysis
of cylinder pressure signals.
DATA ACQUISITION AND ANALYSIS SOFTWARE – AVL IndiCom™
AVL IndiCom™ provides deep understanding of the combustion process,
which is essential to making modern engines clean and efficient. The software
offers advanced measurement setup and automation, multiple interfaces,
versatile calculation tools, and powerful display objects. AVL IndiCom™
and its offline counterpart – AVL CONCERTO™ – guarantee unparalleled
robustness and quality of the engine development process.
MONITORING SOFTWARE – AVL EPOS™
AVL provides a complete measuring chain for condition monitoring consisting
of robust monitoring sensors with in-line signal amplifiers and an acquisition
system with intelligent system diagnostic software implemented. The system
is especially designed for use with large marine or stationary engines.
