Gaseous and liquid media (coolant, oil, intake air and boost air) have a significant impact on the UUT’s behavior. Conditioning systems bring these media into a selectable and predefined range. To perform tests with high precision and reproducibility, stable environmental conditions are crucial. These are conveniently and reliably provided by conditioned media. When the UUT development takes place in different locations, media conditioning ensures that testing conditions remain comparable. For this reason, conditioning systems are an indispensable key part of testbed equipment in development, calibration and certification.
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 simulate extreme driving conditions on the testbed, conditioning systems must be able to create extreme media conditions. In order to improve the efficiency of the testbed, the initial conditions must be established quickly. Oil and coolant conditioning systems cool the UUT very fast at the end of each test cycle, which helps to increase the number of tests per time unit (e.g. cold start tests).
AVL media conditioning systems are characterized by their modular design, their excellent functional expandability and their compactness, making them mobile and versatile on the testbed. They are designed to be truly robust and optimized for maximum dynamics and control quality. An installed base of more than 4.000 systems demonstrate their quality and durability.

AVL ConsysCool
You can apply the AVL ConsysCool in development, certification, End of Line (EOL) testing, as well as in highly dynamic applications for race car engines. The system controls the coolant to a freely definable temperature and keeps it within tight limits. An inte grated electric heating system ensures quick pre-heating and improves control dynamics.
The high control accuracy achieved in steady-state and dynamic modes delivers high-class test condition reproducibility. You can extend the basic unit’s functionality with additional options in order to reach the best results for your application. For less demanding applications like endurance testing, we additionally offer an elementary coolant conditioning unit which is both compact and cost-efficient.
AVL ConsysBoost
AVL ConsysBoost conditions the UUT’s boost air to a predefined value within a very narrow tolerance range. It is chiefly used to keep the boost air temperature at a constant level, regardless of the UUT operation state. By maintaining the exact boost air temperature, the reproducibility of the test condition is guaranteed. The original vehicle intercooler is replaced by an industrial water/air intercooler.
To simulate the pressure drop of different boost air coolers, an adjustable flap is installed. This makes the device suitable for a wide range of UUTs. In case you require the use of an original UUT intercooler, we offer alternative solutions such as spray conditioning systems or intercoolers inside water jackets.
AVL ConsysLube
With AVL ConsysLube you will be able to precisely keep the oil temperature and oil pressure to definable values. The integrated electric heating system allows a fast preheating of the oil. Furthermore, it optimizes the control accuracy in dynamic operation. Several connection types and device options permit a variety of applications. For instance, you can:
- Connect AVL ConsysLube to the oil sump to avoid any negative impact on the UUT’s oil circuit and to control temperature even when the UUT is being stopped.
- Connect it to the pressure oil circuit to control the pressure and temperature of the UUT’s oil supply – both in steady-state and dynamic operation.
AVL ConsysLube is suitable for internal combustion engines, gearboxes or oil cooled e-drive components.
AVL ConsysAir
The performance of the UUT depends strongly on the intake air temperature, humidity and pressure. With AVL ConsysAir, these key factors can be adjusted to any set point, irrespective of the actual ambient conditions at the testbed. The patented Dynamic Bypass enables an unrivalled pressure stability at engine intake and exhaust in steadystate and even in highly dynamic engine operation.
Another crucial feature of this device is the short stabilization time after a set point change (for pressure even less than three seconds). Combined with AVL Altitude Simulator, AVL ConsysAir enables testing from sea level to high mountain road in winter or summer, in the tropics, deserts or arctic regions on a normal testbed.
Battery packs, modules and cells, fuel cells, e-motor and e-axle solutions must operate safely and reliably in any environment. This can include extreme temperatures and humidity, which cannot be reproduced on the test track or in real test scenarios on the road. This is why we developed the modular AVL Climate Chamber.
The AVL Gas Sampling Unit is an outstanding safety device, which measures and analyses the gas composition while battery testing inside the test chamber.
AVL ThermalLab™ tests the entire VTMS, including all coolant circuits and the refrigerant cycle, under dynamic conditions using model-based testing. The UUT is the complete VTMS embedded in an emulated vehicle while the environment is fully simulated. The entire system can be tested in the lab under realistic driving and ambient conditions.
For battery (module/pack) testing, we offer complete test systems, stand-alone equipment, or even entire turnkey test labs.
For battery cell testing, we offer complete test systems, stand-alone equipment, or even entire turnkey test labs.
