Gaseous and liquid media significantly influence the behavior of the UUT. To ensure high precision and reproducibility in testing, conditioning systems are essential as they bring these media into a selectable and predefined range.
Stable environmental conditions are crucial for achieving accurate test results. Conditioning systems provide these stable conditions conveniently and reliably by using conditioned media. This stability is essential for maintaining test precision and reproducibility.
When UUT development occurs in multiple locations, media conditioning systems ensure that testing conditions remain comparable. This consistency is vital for reliable development, calibration, and certification processes.

Accuracy
High control accuracy in steady-state and dynamic mode increases testbed efficiency.
Reproducibility
Good reproducibility allows a fast achievement of development goals.
Conditions
Emulate/ Simulate/ Replicate extreme temperature and pressure conditions on the testbed which is hard to achieve on the road.
Automation
Easy integration into the automation system enables a quick installation (plug & play).
To accurately simulate extreme driving conditions on the testbed, media conditioning systems must create extreme media conditions. This capability is essential for conducting precise and effective tests.
Efficiency on the testbed is significantly enhanced by the timely establishment of initial conditions. Oil and coolant conditioning systems facilitate rapid cooling of the UUT at the conclusion of each test cycle. This rapid cooling process allows for an increased number of tests, such as cold start tests, to be conducted within a given time frame.

AVL ConsysCool Dynamic
The ConsysCool Dynamic revolutionizes the control of e-drive cooling fluids, ensuring precise adherence to temperature and pressure levels with unmatched accuracy and responsiveness of 6 K/s. It has a capacity of 20 kW to 60 kW and handles temperatures from -25°C to +120°C, providing flexibility for different test conditions. It integrates real-time simulation with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), effectively simulating refrigerant circuits, e-motors, batteries, etc. This accelerates development by enabling testing of individual components and complete cooling systems, evaluating thermal comfort for parts and passengers under real-world driving conditions on a testbed before moving to more costly wind tunnel or road testing. Therefore, the ConsysCool Dynamic is a key feature of the AVL ThermalLab™.

AVL ConsysActive
Refrigeration units are critical to climatic testing, providing precise cooling for optimal test gradients while maintaining energy efficiency. The AVL ConsysActive products feature efficient compressor control, ensuring that testing conditions are met without excessive energy consumption. Our ConsysActive conditioning units are available with refrigerants with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 2500, and also in a CO2 version for environmentally friendly options. Air handling modules regulate the air within a walk-in climatic chamber or remote climatic box, ensuring consistent environmental conditions throughout the testing process. These features make ConsysActive an ideal choice for efficient, sustainable and accurate climatic testing solutions.
