AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Oct. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner provides its leading regulated two-stage
(R2S®) turbocharger for Daimler's latest 2.9-liter
six-cylinder inline diesel engine OM 656, which is initially
featured in the updated Mercedes-Benz S-Class launched in 2017.
Meeting the requirements of state-of-the-art engine concepts,
BorgWarner's advanced turbocharging technology contributes to
enhanced fuel economy and improves torque, performance and exhaust
gas recirculation rates even under full-load conditions while
significantly reducing emissions.
"Due to its optimized design, our turbocharging solution helps
automakers overcome challenging system placement demands such as a
tight fit and high temperatures," said Frédéric Lissalde, President
and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems. "We are pleased to
support our customers by delivering our highly efficient R2S
turbocharging technology to meet the highest possible
standards."
The first R2S turbocharger on the market to have a turbine
housing made of very robust cast steel also features a water-cooled
e-actuator, bearing housing and compressor housing. BorgWarner's
R2S turbocharging solution consists of two turbochargers arranged
in series – a compact high-pressure exhaust gas turbocharger
featuring the company's latest variable turbine geometry technology
and a larger waste-gated low-pressure one with ported shroud
compressor. While running at low engine speeds, the small
high-pressure turbocharger provides most of the boost and at the
same time excellent response, so that the driver does not
experience any turbo lag. With increasing engine speed, a bypass
begins to open, so that nearly all of the gases flow directly
towards the low-pressure turbocharger which takes over the main
compression work to provide high boost pressures with excellent
efficiency. Controlled by an electrical actuator, BorgWarner's R2S
turbocharging technology adapts quickly to changing situations for
fast response and significantly reduced emissions.
