In the past, conventional and optical combustion analysis were carried out separately with the associated workload, time required, and costs. Now there is AVL X-ion™, our innovative AVL data acquisition system that brings together both tasks into a single solution. Featuring high-precision photodiodes, AVL X-ion can manage up to 32 light-signals per base unit. This enables the use of Visio spark plugs for the local analysis of in-cylinder combustion events. The modular data acquisition platform with X-FEM Visio modules can be used for knock, pre-ignition and particle source analysis. The high sensitivity combined with the high dynamic range of the photodiodes enables the measurement of a range of flame phenomena in spark ignited engines. Why You Need X-ion Optical Combustion Analysis Ever more stringent emissions targets force the automotive industry into using increasingly complex combustion technology: The combination of electrification and advanced combustion solutions provides the key elements of clean and efficient propulsion. As this increase in complexity results in increased effort in powertrain development, robust and thorough analysis methods become mandatory. With these challenges in mind, AVL has developed AVL X-ion, the new high-speed data acquisition platform dedicated to powertrain development. AVL X-ion is a modular acquisition system that can be easily adapted to different units under test and test environments. It combines AVL’s know-how and expertise in several application areas, namely indicating, optical combustion analysis, NVH and e-power analysis.
