AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Oct. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
BorgWarner (NYSE: BWA) produces engine timing systems, exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) tubes and Instant Start Systems for Ford's new
Duratorq TDCi Global Euro 5 engine
family, which launched in several countries recently. The engine
family includes the I4 2.2-liter and I5 3.2-liter diesel engines
that power the Ford Transit, Fiat Ducato, PSA Boxer, LR Defender
and Ford T6-GCP-Ranger.
"With Ford's engine manufacturing sites in Turkey, South
America, South Africa, and
Thailand, the Duratorq TDCi
Euro 5 engine family is truly a
global endeavor," said Timothy M.
Manganello, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
BorgWarner. "BorgWarner is proud to produce a number of advanced
technologies that contribute to the increased fuel economy, reduced
emissions and improved performance of these engines."
Engineers at BorgWarner Morse TEC used a systematic approach of
modeling, simulation testing and tuning to develop the complete
engine timing system, featuring a new highly wear-resistant bushing
chain and streamlined guide design. Low-weight, nylon materials and
innovative injection-molding manufacturing technologies combine to
deliver a light-weight and high-performance engine timing system
designed to help improve fuel economy while delivering durable
performance.
Recirculating exhaust gas and combining it with an air and fuel
mixture reduces the combustion temperatures that produce harmful
nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. For these engines, BorgWarner
Emissions Systems produces single-wall EGR tubes with hydroformed
bellows to accommodate thermal stress and vibration.
With the Instant Start System from BorgWarner BERU Systems,
diesel engines start quickly and reliably even in temperatures as
low as -13 degrees F (-25 degrees C). An electronic control unit
regulates the time and voltage for each performance-optimized glow
plug for fast warm-ups to help minimize emissions and improve fuel
economy during engine starts.
