AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As a
global leader in clean and efficient technology solutions for
combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles, BorgWarner pushes engine
performance to new heights for the BMW Group's 235 kW (315 HP)
diesel motor featured in numerous models of the automaker.
BorgWarner's regulated two-stage (R2S®) turbocharging
system with two variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers
delivers powerful boost, and facilitates rapid acceleration while
significantly reducing emissions and fuel consumption.
"Combining two of our latest VTG turbochargers in our innovative
R2S system delivers almost instant acceleration and increases
efficiency at low engine speeds," said Frédéric Lissalde, President
and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems. "Our collaboration
with the BMW Group has resulted in a more powerful, efficient
engine that is more economical, environmentally friendly and
dynamic."
This new application of BorgWarner's R2S turbocharging
technology consists of two electrically actuated VTG turbochargers
arranged in series. A small high-pressure turbocharger provides
most of the boost at low engine speeds. As engine speed increases,
a larger low-pressure turbocharger gradually takes over most of the
workload. By utilizing a VTG turbocharger for the low-pressure
stage as well, BorgWarner enhances transient engine behavior even
further for excellent acceleration. The rapidly adapting R2S system
also minimizes turbo lag, and reduces emissions and fuel
consumption.
