AVAT

AVAT, known for being the developer and manufacturer of the TEM-Evo System, implemented in more than 10,000 MWM gas engines, has been focusing on the development of reliable solutions for the control of gas engines, dual fuel engines and combined heat and power plants for more than 25 years.

With its modular and open system for engine control, the German company based in Tübingen has taken a step forward. As an independent partner and manufacturer, AVAT offers customized control solutions, plug&play systems for engine control and individual components for dynamic actuator control, for antiknocking and leak detection systems as well as pressure-based control of cylinders.

AVAT’s range of solutions also includes solutions for remote predictive maintenance using available engine data.

CONTROL COMPONENTS

AVAT E²CORE

E²CORE: Actuator Control

The real strength of the E²CORE lies in variable engine control using all available variables. The result is a possibility of quick reaction to possible deviations and optimized efficiency within the legal emission limits.

AVAT E²KNOCKCON

E²KNOCKCON: Engine Noise Evaluation

Noise sensors transmitted to the engine body, known as knocking sensors, have been used for many years to monitor detonations during combustion. But there is a lot of information contained in these signals. E²KNOCKCON also detects individual losses based on combustion noise and transmits this information directly to the engine controller.

AVAT E²PRECON

E²PRECON: Cylinder Pressure Analyzer

The measurement of cylinder pressure distribution is the method to determine combustion characteristic values.
E²PRECON combines power, maximum pressure, knocking and combustion time distribution for each cylinder and each combustion cycle.

AVAT VPN ROUTER

The AVAT VPN ROUTER is connected on-site to the engine controller to enable secure data exchange via the Internet. After the authentication process, the router establishes a secure link.

The internet access can be done via the plant’s own network or via a mobile phone card.

Benefits

  • Optimised for AVAT and TEM-Evo open systems.
  • Connectable to any engine and industrial control system.
  • Internet access via network, WAN interface or modem (analogue, ISDN, mobile phone up to 4G/LTE).
  • Secure connectivity via open VPN and integrated firewall.
  • Network availability greater than 99%.
