Cooling Technology Helps Meet Emissions Regulations, Reduces
Operating Costs with Lower Noise and No Maintenance AUBURN HILLS,
Mich., May 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BorgWarner Thermal Systems'
innovative Cool Logic(R) fan drives combine BorgWarner's wet
friction and electronic controls technology to effectively cool
today's cleaner, but hotter diesel engines with the added
advantages of lower noise, reduced operating costs and no
maintenance. The system is currently under production for several
North American heavy-duty truck OEMs. "The industry's efforts to
meet stringent diesel emissions standards have led heavy-duty truck
makers to design cleaner, more fuel efficient engines. However,
these new engine technologies generate up to 30% more heat
rejection, which cannot be effectively cooled by current
technologies," said Alfred Weber, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner Thermal Systems. "BorgWarner's Cool Logic technology is
a smart solution that delivers effective and efficient cooling
while lowering operating costs for fleet owners." The patented Cool
Logic technology was inspired by the wet friction expertise
developed by BorgWarner Transmission Systems for passenger car
transmissions. The vehicle's engine control module (ECM) drives the
variable speed Cool Logic fan drive to precisely control
temperature, allowing the cooling system to operate at peak
performance under all conditions, rather than simply turning on and
off. The innovation increases cooling system capacity up to 25%,
reduces fan power up to 50%, and cuts overnight idling fuel
consumption by up to 75%. The Cool Logic fan drive reduces
operating costs by extending the life of the entire cooling system,
including the radiator, charge air cooler and pulley belts, all
with the added advantages of lower noise and no maintenance.
BorgWarner has built a new production line at its facility in
Cadillac, Michigan, to meet the current and growing demand for this
new cooling technology. The economical choice for efficiency,
performance and quiet operation, BorgWarner Thermal Systems offers
the latest in cooling innovations for improved fuel economy and
longer engine life. Auburn Hills, Michigan-based BorgWarner Inc.
