AVL CANLOAD is versatile and supports a wide range of test procedures and applications:
- Canister conditioning for international type approval of vehicles
- BWC (Butane Weight Capacity) & GWC (Gasoline Weight Capacity) testing
- Canister aging tests with real fuel as a mandatory precondition for EU certification
- Rapid loading cycles of canisters for the simulation of a refueling operation (ORVR)
- Canister pressure surge simulation (‘puff-loss’ testing) for the use in pressure tanks
- Dynamic purging / ‚real life‘ simulation using stored Ṽ/t curve profile
- Dynamic loading / ‚real life‘ simulation using stored ṁ/t curve profile
- Development tests to improve scavenging efficiency, especially for hybrid vehicles
- Influence analysis of the ambient conditions on the purging behavior of the canister
- Influence analysis of the AKF installation position on the loading or purging behavior of the AKF

High Degree of Automation
The modern automation software offers a structured user interface and can be flexibly configured and expanded.
Legislation Compliance
AVL CANLOAD offers integrated templates for test procedures required by the current legislation in Asia, America and Europe.
Modularity of the System
The system is designed in a modular way. Numerous options are available and it can be expanded to up to four test lines.
Robust and Safe
AVL CANLOAD offers a high level of safety with an automatic LeakCheck procedure and the integrated explosion safety.
Unmanned Operation
The system is designed to operate unattended 24/7 with its fully automated data acquisition system and safety modules.
Options for Every Application
Whether the system is used for vehicle certification or in pre-development, the various options allow loading with butane/nitrogen (CANLOAD xL-B) or additionally with fuel vapor/nitrogen (CANLOAD xL-BF) to enable a wide variety of test procedures.
Modular Design
The system can be expanded to up to four self-sufficient conditioning units. The modular design of the system also allows additional units to be retrofitted to meet new requirements.
Safety in Test Operation
Equipped with integrated plausibility and monitoring functions, the system offers a high degree of measurement and work safety.
