Recirculating exhaust gas and combining it with an air and fuel
mixture reduces the combustion temperatures that produce harmful
NOx emissions. BorgWarner's new electric butterfly EGR valve
features precise and responsive control combined with high flow
capability, excellent sealing, corrosion resistance and reliable
operation in the most severe operating environments. The technology
will debut with a leading commercial engine manufacturer in 2010.
"New engine concepts for commercial diesel vehicles require greater
use of state-of-the-art EGR systems to meet ever stricter emissions
standards," said Roger Wood, BorgWarner Engine Group President.
"Thanks to our expertise in turbocharging and exhaust gas
recirculation systems, BorgWarner is uniquely positioned to meet
the growing demand in this market segment." Developed to meet the
need for high EGR rates and precise, responsive flow control,
BorgWarner's electric butterfly EGR valve features a brushless DC
motor actuator with a gear train that has already proven its
robustness and reliability in turbocharger applications. The
brushless motor offers high durability and enhanced power-to-weight
ratio. Sensors within the motor provide feedback to a closed-loop
control system to position the valve and ensure precise control of
recirculated exhaust gas. All major components, including the
housing and valve, are built with stainless steel to resist
corrosion. The butterfly valve design provides excellent sealing
and reliable operation within the harsh diesel exhaust system
environment. In addition to commercial diesel engine and vehicle
applications, BorgWarner's butterfly EGR valve can also be applied
to diesel passenger car applications and is easily integrated with
an EGR cooler and cooler bypass valve. BorgWarner Turbo &
Emissions Systems is a leading global producer of turbochargers,
exhaust gas recirculation valves and other engine air management
systems for passenger cars, light trucks and commercial vehicles.
These systems are designed to improve fuel economy, reduce
emissions and enhance vehicle performance. Auburn Hills,
