AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Aug. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner is expanding applications and markets for its
exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers with Tognum MTU-brand
diesel engines for off-highway applications. The MTU Series 1600,
2000 and 4000 engines are used to power locomotives, mining
equipment, and pumps for the oil and gas industry. BorgWarner's
multiple-core EGR coolers help reduce emissions in MTU diesel
engines using an innovative modular design concept that allows a
high level of customization and performance for a wide variety of
applications with limited production volumes.

"BorgWarner engineers have been working closely with MTU to
develop cooled EGR for heavy industrial diesel engine applications
that demand both reliability and economy in extremely harsh
environments," said Brady Ericson,
President and General Manager, BorgWarner Emissions Systems. "As
emissions standards in Europe and
the U.S. become more stringent, we expect a significant increase in
demand for EGR coolers for large displacement engine applications
over the next five years."
Cooled EGR is one of the most effective methods of reducing
nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in large diesel engines.
BorgWarner EGR coolers utilize specially designed hybrid tubes to
optimize heat transfer and deliver superior heat rejection with
less hydrocarbon buildup. The floating core and optimized coolant
flow increase durability during extreme thermal loads typical in
these applications, and anti-vibration clips help withstand the
vibration expected in heavy-duty industrial engines. To minimize
development times, tooling costs and investments while meeting the
technical requirements of a broad range of engines and
applications, BorgWarner's modular design provides customized
performance by using multiple EGR cooler cores with a high
percentage of common parts. Depending on the application,
BorgWarner's EGR coolers help engine manufacturers meet stringent
emissions standards without any NOx aftertreatment
technology.
