AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Dec. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --
BorgWarner's (NYSE: BWA) regulated two-stage (R2S®) turbochargers
and Hybrid Tube exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers help reduce
emissions and improve fuel economy for on-highway commercial diesel
trucks and buses. Launched with a major North American commercial
truck maker earlier this year, the combination of technologies
enables truck makers to meet 2010 EPA emissions regulations, which
require an 83 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOx)
emissions.

"BorgWarner's leading turbocharging and EGR technologies help
these engines reduce NOx where it starts—in the combustion
chamber—while improving performance and fuel economy," said
Roger Wood, Executive Vice
President, BorgWarner. "With the acquisition of ENSA, BorgWarner
has added EGR coolers to our broad portfolio of technologies. It is
yet another tool BorgWarner engineers can use when working with our
customers to develop optimized air management systems."
BorgWarner's award-winning, patented R2S® turbocharging
technology employs two series-connected turbochargers to reach high
pressure ratios with excellent overall system efficiency and fast
response to changing engine loads, such as accelerating or climbing
steep grades.
BorgWarner's high efficiency turbocharging technology also
improves exhaust flow, resulting in improved fuel economy. In
addition to enjoying more miles per gallon, commercial vehicle
drivers will appreciate the engine's quick response, especially at
low engine speeds and under heavy loads.
Combining the best attributes of tube-and-shell coolers with
plate-and-insert heat exchangers, BorgWarner's Hybrid Tube EGR
cooler provides superior heat rejection with less soot and
hydrocarbon buildup. With limited space under the hood, Hybrid Tube
EGR coolers also offer compact packaging options, giving engine
manufacturers greater flexibility to meet their engine management
strategies.
