products MORE PRODUCTIVITY THANKS TO MODULE CONCEPT > AVL X-ion™ - Adapts. Acquires. Inspires. AVL CPC - THE NEW SENSOR OF THE AVL PARTICLE COUNTER 3 4 F O C U S The AVL Virtual Testbed™ enables calibration development already in the virtual test environment. It closes the gap between simulation and conventional engine and vehicle testing. With this approach, the AVL Virtual Testbed™ offers a solution meeting the ever increasing complexity in calibration and test requirements. It successfully combines real-time powertrain models, control units, an automated operation, and an Since 2007, the measurement of the particle number (PN) is required for the certification of diesel passenger cars and, later on, also for gasoline and light commercial engines (Euro 5/6). Since mid 2016, the AVL Particle Counter APCplus, established globally since its launch for certification and development, is being enhanced with a new standard sensor - the AVL CPC (Condensation Particle Counter). With this upgrade, AVL further expands its technological leadership. AVL X-ion™ is the highspeed data acquisition platform dedicated to powertrain development. The modular acquisition system can be easily adapted to different units under test, test environments and measurement tasks. It combines AVL’s know-how and expertise in several application areas, namely indicating, optical combustion analysis, and e-Power analysis. AVL X-ion™ can host up to eight “X-FEM” front-end modules, each containing analog-digital converters and signal conditioning. Further Benefits: • Future-proof investment thanks to evolutionary module concept • Siginificant reduction of changeover time • Stress-free transition to electrified powertrains  < APCplus Customer Benefits: • Highest application flexibility thanks to 3-times higher sensor concentration range • Maximum robustness thanks to increased temperature operating range • Highest data quality thanks to ISO 17025 calibration and efficient coupling with AVL Smart Sampler SPC 478 • 20% lower maintenance costs & throughput time due to AVL CPC  < optimization platform to form one complete solution that is already being used successfully in the calibration and testing community. Further Benefits: • Significant time and cost savings throughout the entire development process • Substantial increase in quality • Maximum reproducibility of testing conditions  < > AVL Virtual Testbed™ - Calibrate beyond the limits > APCplus - now AVL CPC inside - Count on it EFFICIENT CALIBRATION ON THE VIRTUAL TEST BED
