AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
July 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
BorgWarner's reputation as a global leader in combustion
technologies is demonstrated by the use of the company's innovative
regulated two-stage (R2S®) turbocharging
system for BMW Group's latest 2.0 liter TwinPower turbo 4-cylinder
diesel engine, featured in most of the latest and upcoming vehicle
models across the range. The extraordinary combination of a low
pressure variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbocharger and a high
pressure wastegate turbocharger was tailored to meet the
automaker's specific demands – most R2S applications use VTG in the
high-pressure stage. The resulting system is optimized to achieve
the best possible combination of enhanced performance, reduced
emissions and fuel economy. BorgWarner's technology is helping
automakers comply with increasingly stringent local emissions
regulations worldwide and, in Europe, supports them in meeting the
requirements of the Euro 6d TEMP standard.
"Our leading R2S solution supports automakers in reducing
emissions and improving fuel economy," said Joe Fadool, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner Turbo Systems. "We have been supplying BMW Group with
our advanced technologies for 20 years and are happy to
substantially expand our successful relationship by providing a
majority of their vehicles with our R2S system."
The highly innovative BorgWarner R2S unit combines the VTG
turbocharger and a wastegate turbocharger, arranged in series, in a
compact package. It facilitates an optimized air supply over the
whole engine map, so that the lowest emissions and highly efficient
fuel consumption are achieved by always supplying the required
boost for optimal combustion. Electric actuators control the inflow
angle and speed at the turbine wheel inlet by precisely adjusting
the turbocharger's guide vanes. In this way, the VTG turbocharger
constantly adapts the cross-sections of the turbine to the engine's
driving status for optimized power output. The technology also
offers improved thermodynamics and a rapid rise in boost pressure
to provide excellent transient response and nearly instant
acceleration which significantly enhances driving pleasure.
