AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner, a global leader in clean and efficient
technology solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles,
announced it will be supplying its advanced high-voltage positive
temperature coefficient (PTC) cabin heating technology for a new
electric vehicle (EV) for a globally known EV automaker.
BorgWarner's technology features more efficient use of energy while
providing rapid cabin heating.
"We take pride in delivering critically important technology
solutions to support our customers' goals," said Joe Fadool, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner Emissions & Thermal Systems. "We are excited to
offer a solution that addresses these challenges while providing
driver comfort."
Limited waste heat impedes heating the cabin. Independent of
waste heat, BorgWarner's high-voltage cabin heater warms the air
stream coming from the blower, delivering a comfortable and
odor-free cabin environment, while saving battery power due to
efficient operation. Featuring ceramic PTC components as core
elements of the design, the cabin heater self-regulates to ensure
high power heating is available in cold temperatures, when it is
needed most. As temperatures rise and heating demand decreases, the
energy is automatically reduced. The cabin heater offers up to 7 kW
of power, provides dual-zone functionality for reduced waste
compared with single-zone solutions, and contributes to nearly
silent operation of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) system.
BorgWarner's comprehensive product portfolio also includes
numerous other leading technologies for HEVs and EVs, such as
high-voltage liquid heaters, eBooster®
electrically driven compressors,
eGearDrive® transmissions and auxiliary
thermal coolant pumps. All of these technologies support automakers
around the world in designing the clean and efficient vehicles of
tomorrow.
