Working in combination, the AVL Fuel Mass Flow Meter and AVL Fuel Temperature Control provide accurate continuous fuel consumption measurement and conditioning. Designed for testbeds running engines with up to 125 kg/h consumption, they are used by OEMs around the world.
Why You Need AVL Fuel Mass Flow Meter and Fuel Temperature Control
Stricter regulations with regard to CO2 and fuel consumption mean that engine maps have to be optimized very closely to the limits. At the same time, the number of engine maps needed due to new engine concepts and fuels is increasing. Transient measurements – as possible with the AVL Fuel Mass Flow Meter and AVL Fuel Temperature Conditioning Unit - reduce the time it takes to perform this optimization.
Modular Design, Stable Performance
Highly precise and boasting excellent temperature stability, the modular design allows them to be combined with other systems. Accurate results even at low flow rates and with short measurement times make this a dynamic and flexible solution.
Fuel consumption is determined continuously in kg/h via direct mass flow measurement. Unlike volumetric measurement methods, it is not necessary to also determine the density alongside the measurement of the gravimetric or specific fuel consumption. This allows fuel consumption to be assessed up to an accuracy of 0.12 % for the entire system under real test bed conditions.
