AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
March 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
BorgWarner (NYSE: BWA) supplies its latest B-series generation
turbochargers for the newly developed DEUTZ 6.1-liter six-cylinder
heavy-duty diesel engine, used in the agricultural machinery
segment with start of production in January
2011. The combination of BorgWarner's advanced turbocharging
technology and common-rail high-pressure injection provides a rated
power of 203 kW at 2100 rpm and an impressive torque of 1170 Nm at
1450 rpm. In addition to providing outstanding performance, the
optimized turbocharging system significantly boosts fuel economy,
lowers emissions and helps comply with the stringent Tier 4 Interim
emissions standard. DEUTZ, one of the largest independent
manufacturers of diesel engines, will supply its fuel-efficient TCD
6.1 L6 engine to several of its customers.

"Our turbochargers enable heavy-duty commercial diesel engines
to comply with increasingly rigorous global emissions standards
while achieving better fuel economy and improved performance," said
Roger Wood, Executive Vice
President, BorgWarner. "Based on our long-standing experience in
the field of turbocharging systems, BorgWarner has the expertise
and advanced technology to meet the growing demand in this market
segment."
To fulfill the high requirements for power, torque and reduced
emissions, DEUTZ chose BorgWarner's latest generation of
turbochargers featuring a BorgWarner compact brushless actuator
controlling the wastegate. During the development process,
BorgWarner engineers developed a design which is reliable and
robust while improving the fuel consumption and power output of the
engine. The turbocharger is equipped with a milled aluminium wheel
and a modified turbine housing to withstand high vibrational
loading. The fast electric wastegate actuator controlled via a CAN
bus provides precise regulation of the boost pressure over the
entire engine speed range. Compared with its predecessor, the new
engine delivers a 13 percent improvement in power output and
increases torque by almost 10 percent. Even under extreme
environmental conditions in tough off-highway applications, the
powerful engine also demonstrates outstanding cold start
characteristics and the engine runs smoothly.
