Providing advantages such as reliable operation, measurement accuracy of 0.12% as well as very low maintenance expenses, it is the uncontested leader. MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE The fuel consumed by the engine is taken from a continuously weighted measurement vessel with all the properties of the vehicle tank. The detection of the weight of the fuel is implemented with a capacitive displacement sensor that is connected to the measurement vessel by means of a beam. A calibration weight is used to perform the accuracy testing and calibration procedures in accordance with ISO 9001. The calibration is implemented in a fully automatic manner within a few minutes and is integrated by default in the AVL Fuel Balance. APPLICATION In combination with the AVL Fuel Temperature Control or the AVL Cooling System, it is the ideal solution and industrial standard when equipping research, development, quality and endurance testbeds. It is used for single-cylinder and large diesel engines up to an output of 1,000 kW. The whole range of applications is covered by one AVL Fuel Balance using measurement range switching. Compatible interfaces, allow it to be easily be integrated into different testbed automation systems. BENEFITS AT A GLANCE • Minimization of testbed times due to high levels of reliability and long maintenance intervals • Time-saving ISO 9001 testing due to calibration within a few minutes • Fast and low-cost integration in the engine testbed due to the presence of compatible interfaces • Fast application with different injection systems 1 Fuel supply connections (4) 2 Damping device 3 Capacitive sensor 4 Tara weight 5 Blade spring 6 Measurement beam 7 Calibrating weight 8 Measuring vessel FUEL CONSUMPTION MEASUREMENT 6 5 4 7 8 2 3 1 Available online via AVL ePRODUCTS https://shop.avl.com
