BorgWarner Builds on Global Leadership in Air Pumps with New High-Flow Pump Technology
Share:
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., July 6 / -- BorgWarner (NYSE:BWA) is developing new high-flow air pump technology designed to address its global customers' need to meet increasingly stringent industry standards for emissions and fuel economy.
"As a worldwide market leader in air management systems, BorgWarner plays a significant role in our customers' ability to reduce vehicle cold-start hydrocarbons and meet super ultra-low emissions vehicle (SULEV) standards," said Roger Wood, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems.
The new BorgWarner high-flow air pump technology enables the replacement of dual-pump systems with a single, submersible, high-flow pump -- called 1000-T3. The benefits include reductions in cost, space, and weight, as well as enhanced energy conversion efficiency. The latter enables the pump to convert electric power into more flow and pressure. The pump also provides flexibility in engine and catalyst packaging.
"Opportunities for product leadership in air management systems continue to increase, as stricter emissions regulations are adopted in North America, Europe, and Asia, and engines are redesigned for improved fuel consumption to meet these higher standards," Wood said. "At BorgWarner we address these challenges every day. We are well-positioned to make the most of these opportunities to help our customers succeed."
