The AVL Schrick GmbH (proper spelling AVL Schrick ) is a subsidiary of AVL List . It develops and manufactures internal combustion engines and internal combustion engine components, including a. for the automotive industry , aviation companies and for use in motor-driven household and leisure equipment . The product range extends from single-cylinder engines for combined heat and power plants to aircraft and car engines to engine components for trucks and super sports cars such as the Bugatti Veyron .
Company history
The company was founded as Dr. Schrick GmbH 1969 in Cremlingen-Abbenrode near Braunschweig by Peter Schrick (* 1934, † 2007). The company's roots are in motorsport, especially in the manufacture of camshafts . Tim Schrick , son of the company's founder Peter Schrick, works as a racing driver and TV presenter in the field of automotive and racing.
Schrick expanded at the new Remscheid location as early as 1970 . The first turbocharger development in 1972 was followed by the first complete engine for racing in the mid-1980s.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the company increasingly established itself as a supplier of drives for the racing and automotive industries. Further company milestones followed in the 1990s: the first gasoline engine for series use (1992), the first hybrid concept (1995) and finally the first non-automotive drive in 1998, which laid the foundation for AVL Schrick's subsequent collaboration with various non-automotive companies Branches put. Roger Wildemann has been managing director of AVL Schrick since 1998.
Today, AVL Schrick develops and manufactures combustion engines and engine components. The company has been part of AVL List since 2002 and has been operating under the name of AVL Schrick GmbH since September 1, 2007. AVL Schrick is thus part of the world's largest private drive developer.
The company has been developing new, alternative drive concepts since the early 2000s. AVL Schrick integrated hybrid technologies into vehicles as early as 2003. After a location expansion in 2007 due to the strong company growth, AVL Schrick started series production of combined heat and power plants in 2010. In 2012, the company expanded in the area of its small series (APU) as well as research and development regarding the use of residual heat (waste heat recovery).
development
In addition to engine development, the implementation of design studies, the construction and optimization of engine components and assemblies, 3-D modeling, the development of special solutions, e.g. B. for energy recovery for stationary applications and combined heat and power plants. offered.
The company has its own CAE center, with the help of which statements can be made about components and parts as well as their performance parameters and load margins in the conception phase. This reduces costs and development times.
Fluid mechanical calculations are used to optimize flow behavior, increase efficiency and minimize energy losses in automotive construction.
Structural mechanical applications check the functionality and resilience of solids using numerical calculation methods, etc. a. by determining the values of fatigue strength , tension , elongation and deformation .
Engine test
The company has twelve test rigs - including power and towing test rigs for passenger cars and commercial vehicle applications from a few kW to 1400 kW.
The AVL Schrick special test stands include:
- Altitude and climate test bench: Simulation of combustion engine operation up to 5,000 m altitude in a temperature range of −25 ° C to 60 ° C
- Turbocharger test bench for the development and testing of charging systems. There z. B. Thermal shock tests carried out and automated measurements of turbines and compressor maps up to a gas temperature of 1,050 ° C
- Swivel test bench for high dynamic engine tests, power up to 750 kW, 525 Nm, 8,500 / min, swivel speed up to 180 ° / s, swivel angle up to ± 70 ° for both axes, fired and non-fired operation possible, measurement of oil foaming during operation
- Cold chamber that allows tests at temperatures as low as −40 ° C on entire vehicles
The AVL Schrick E-Drive and E-Mobility test benches include:
- E-axle test bench with a maximum output of 250 kW for passenger car and light commercial vehicle applications
- E-motor test bench with a maximum output of 250 kW for passenger car and light commercial vehicle applications
- E-blower test bench for the development and development of cooling fans in fuel cell applications
In addition to standard measurement techniques for recording engine and exhaust-gas-relevant measurement parameters, special mobile measurement techniques, e.g. B. for a variety of tasks in the areas of indexing , dynamics or component loading.
