AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
July 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner produces Visctronic® fan drives for
excavators, cement mixers and crane trucks manufactured by SANY
Heavy Industries, a leading off-highway vehicle producer in
China. BorgWarner's electronically
actuated Visctronic fan drives respond directly to engine cooling
needs, resulting in more available horsepower, improved fuel
efficiency and lower emissions. Depending on the duty cycle,
BorgWarner's Visctronic technology improves fuel efficiency up to
1.4 percent compared with conventional fan drives and up to 4
percent compared with fixed fans. The technology also features a
maintenance-free design and improves driver comfort with low noise,
vibration and harshness. BorgWarner's Visctronic fan drive debuted
in SANY D12 diesel engines in January and is expected to launch on
D07 engines this summer.
"Off-highway vehicles operate under high loads and in tough
environments. BorgWarner's Visctronic fan drives deliver precise
cooling, generating the right amount of airflow at the right time
to help the entire engine run more efficiently," said Daniel Paterra, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner Thermal Systems. "BorgWarner is committed to serving the
off-highway market with innovative solutions designed to increase
fuel efficiency, reduce emissions and enhance performance. We are
pleased to offer our advanced airflow solutions to SANY."
Actuated by ambient temperature via a thermostatic coil,
conventional fan drives deliver the torque required to adequately
cool the engine, but due to the lack of accurate engine temperature
inputs, can still draw considerable power when cooling may not be
needed. BorgWarner's Visctronic variable speed fan drives use
specially calibrated software to communicate with the engine's
electronic control unit, responding directly to the engine's needs
based on engine temperature, engine speed, vehicle speed or engine
load. Even under dynamic conditions, the Visctronic system operates
only when needed, reducing the average fan speed in any given duty
cycle and making more horsepower available for greater work
output.
