AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
March 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner has developed specialized variable turbine
geometry (VTG) turbochargers for a broad range of gasoline-powered
vehicles. Perfectly matched to new combustion systems which will
also be used in hybrid applications, the company's advanced
solution is a core component of clean and efficient future
propulsion systems. Combining cost efficiency and excellent
performance, BorgWarner has now further optimized the design and
materials of its new gasoline VTG turbocharger, which responds
quickly at low engine speeds for almost instant acceleration.
Ten years after having introduced the world's first
mass-produced gasoline engine boosted by a VTG turbocharger in
cooperation with a German premium sports car manufacturer,
BorgWarner´s gasoline VTG has entered the mass-market
successfully.
"Regarding the ever-increasing requirements in efficiency and
emissions, BorgWarner forecasts great market potential for our
leading gasoline VTG technology," said Frédéric Lissalde, President
and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems. "By adapting our
advanced solution for the mass market, we drive downsizing and
downspeeding to support our customers in developing clean,
economical and powerful future vehicles, and we expect to further
strengthen our attractiveness as a leading supplier of innovative
turbocharging solutions."
BorgWarner optimized the materials and the design of its VTG
turbocharger for higher resilience to withstand the high thermal
loads of a gasoline engine and allow reliable operation even under
the toughest conditions. In addition, the latest VTG technology
features a robust electric actuator that controls the pressure
upstream of the turbine, rapidly and precisely adjusting the guide
vanes for nearly instant acceleration and optimum power output. By
changing the inflow angle and speed at the turbine wheel inlet,
BorgWarner's patented S-shaped guide vanes regulate the VTG turbine
output, improving thermodynamics and engine response at very low
rpm. The advanced gasoline VTG technology enables excellent
response and smooth power delivery while enhancing fuel efficiency
and reducing emissions for a wider range of vehicle segments.
