19th International AVL Conference „Engine and Environment“

 

The Hybrid Full, Mild, Micro – Which System will Win the Race? Powertrain Configurations Unlimited ?

 

Approximately 340 experts from 17 nations came to the by now 19th AVL conference “Engine and Environment” which took place at the Helmut-List-Halle in Graz on September 6 and 7, 2007. High-ranking speakers from the automobile industry, from science and politics examined the topic of hybrid systems from different angles and thus guaranteed an exciting conference about an up-to-the-minute issue. The focus of the conference was on the conceptual design, development and the introduction of series production of hybrid systems. Prof. Helmut List, CEO of AVL said: “Hybrid systems create new possibilities on the automobile market with regard to driving experience, cost effectiveness and environment.”

 

AVL has been active in the development of hybrid drives for over 15 years and has expanded capacity significantly in recent years to meet a rapidly increasing demand for development and testing solutions. Over 70 hybrid powertrain development and testing projects have been completed by AVL engineering centres in Europe and the USA for customers around the globe. The specifically developed “Hybrid Development Platform” allows AVL experts from the fields of powertrain engineering, simulation and testing to once more prove their synergy potential and know-how which ranges from combustion engines to control, electronics and transmission also includes integration into the entire vehicle.

 

Conference "Engine and Environment" since 1988

In the year 1988 AVL established “Engine and Environment” as an independent, neutral and international platform. Their goal was to promote the interdisciplinary discussion of major issues of engine and vehicle technology in a broader social context - environment and energy issues as well as legal background. Main issues of modern engine and vehicle technology are explored beyond the headlines of the day and new approaches for the future are formulated.


Outlook on next year: Anniversary conference 20 years Engine and Environment September 11-12, 2008 regarding the topic „120 g CO2 /km - What about driving fun and costs?”

AVL History

1946

Prof. Dr. Hans List started up as an independent engineer.

 

1948

A team of diesel engine construction experts headed by Prof. Dr. Hans List got together to set up IBL ("Ingenieurbüro List" or List Engineering).

 

1949

Even the first diesel engines were a resounding success. They went into mass-production at the Jenbach production plant in the Tyrol and Andritz mechanical engineering plant in Graz.

 

1951

IBL became AVL - "Anstalt für Verbrennungskraftmaschinen", Prof. Dr. Hans List (or Institute for Internal Combustion Engines).

 

1952

The central research premises were established in Kleiststraße with funds from the Marshall Plan. This is still the group's management headquarters and the heart of the company's R and D activities.

 

1958

The first direct-injection 4-stroke diesel engines with swirl ducts were developed for trucks. These gradually superseded the 2-stroke and 4-stroke pre-chamber engines that were hitherto the norm.

 

1960

AVL initially became involved in engine instrumentation for its own purposes, manufacturing such instruments as quartz pressure transducers, monitoring and control units, instruments for engine indicating etc. So it was that the group's second division - AVL Engine Instrumentation - was born.

 

1963

Concentrated further development of diesel engine engineering resulted in the 2250 HP, 18-cylinder, 2-stroke diesel engine.

 

1964

The first engine acoustics test bed was installed at Kleiststraße.

 

1965

The international success of AVL's measuring instruments meant that very soon quartz pressure transducers, gravimetric fuel meters, smoke testers and complete engine indication systems were being mass produced.

The successes and experience gained in engine instrumentation were applied to medical tasks resulting in the first blood gas analyzer.

 

1969

The first fully automatic, digital test bed went into operation at AVL. The central element was still a punch card-operated computer. A true piece of pioneering. The revolutionary system made even comprehensive data acquisition possible as well as additional measurement tasks, monitoring functions and evaluations.

 

1970

Another milestone at AVL was the development of the encapsulation technology for silencing engines. AVL sold its first fully automatic test beds thus marking its international breakthrough. Subsidiaries were founded all around the world.

 

1972

The advent of computer-controlled indicating on the test bed represented a quantum leap in evaluation accuracy and speed.

 

1976

In 1974, AVL decided to develop DI diesel engines for passenger cars. The first prototype of a light diesel engine was presented in 1976. This direct injection engine had unit injectors, a monoblock and an oil-wetted, decoupled lower encapsulation.

 

1978

With its PUMA test bed software, AVL soon gained an international reputation for its comprehensive modular test bed solutions.

 

1979

Helmut List took the chair of the management of the entire company.

 

The M1 series for passenger car DI diesel engines were designed. The top-of-the-range model of this monoblock series was a 3.2-litre, 6-cylinder in-line engine with 182 HP (134 kW).

 

1980

With the development of its ultra-light clamp-on transducers for recording expansions in the injection line, AVL succeeded in making a breakthrough in diesel engines diagnostics.

 

1981

AVL started to use Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) technology for contact-free measurement of in-cylinder flow phenomena.

 

1982

AVL provided the first real-time glimpse of the combustion phenomena of diesel engines with its high-speed endoscope photography (at 22,000 images per second).

 

1983

AVL was the first company to market a product family of thyristor-controlled asynchronous machines (APA) as test bed drive and brake machines. They permitted higher speed ranges, required little maintenance and superseded the direct-current machines used up until then.

 

1985

The first highly dynamic test bed enabled dynamic vehicle phenomena to be mapped realistically and true to life. Operating a real engine in a virtual vehicle including driver simulation became a reality.

 

1986

The world's first HSDI diesel engine went into large-scale production as the propulsion system for a light commercial vehicle.

 

1987

Spurred by the huge success of its diesel injection, AVL decided to develop a direct injection system for SI engines.

FIRE, the AVL-designed 3D CFD software package, was launched on the market, thus laying the foundation stone for the new AST division (Advanced Simulation Technologies).
