New measurement technology for direct-injection systems of diesel and gasoline engines

Modern fuel injection systems are exhausting the limits of injector technologies. Therefore the testing quality of the injectors in product development, serial production and field determines the efficiency of modern injection systems and its total cost. Reliability, reproducibility and standardized interpretation of injector measurement data therefore have become key success factors for injector and system suppliers as well as for OEMs. To assure these key success factors the AVL wants to contribute substantially by a new measurement system, called AVL Shot To Shot PLU 131, for direct injection systems of diesel and gasoline engines.
