AVL CANLOAD™

Canister Conditioning System supporting a wide range of evaporative test solutions.

AVL CANLOAD™

AVL CANLOAD was specially designed for the automated execution of conditioning and aging cycles of canisters containing activated carbon from the automotive sector. The canister is cyclically loaded with a butane/nitrogen or a fuel vapor/nitrogen mixture and then rinsed again.
Such test procedures are a mandatory prerequisite for international type certification as part of the performance of evaporative emission or refueling tests on vehicles in a SHED chamber. CANLOAD systems serve to ensure correct functioning of the canister and its transfer to a defined operating state.
Due to the various available options, AVL CANLOAD systems are versatile to be used for pre-development as well as for research purposes. 

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.

AVL CANLOAD is designed to be used in an intuitive way. It's special safety features make it an essential equipment in you testing infrastructure.

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.
