AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner supplies its innovative Pressure Sensor Glow
Plug (PSG) for Volkswagen's all new diesel engines starting with
the 1.4-liter version and then adding the 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter
versions later this year. Based on the new modular diesel engine
system (MDB), the fuel-efficient, low-emission engines offer power
ratings ranging from 55 kW (74 HP) to 140 kW (188 HP) and have been
selected to be installed in several vehicles from VW, Audi, Seat
and Skoda to meet Euro 6 emissions
standards.
"BorgWarner's advanced diesel cold-start technology contributes
significantly to a cleaner combustion process," said Brady Ericson, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner Emissions Systems. "BorgWarner is the first manufacturer
to produce the PSG in series production. We are pleased to assist
the Volkswagen Group in achieving its ambitious targets for
powertrain optimization, reduced emissions and improved fuel
economy."
As one of the key components on the new MDB diesel engines,
BorgWarner's PSG combines a highly efficient glow plug to improve
diesel engine cold starts with an integrated pressure sensor to
improve engine efficiency. The sensor measures the rapidly changing
cylinder pressure in the combustion chamber and reports the data to
the engine control unit, establishing closed-loop control of engine
pressure that allows the engine controller to continuously adapt
fuel injection for each cylinder. Featuring a robust steel heating
rod and a piezo-resistive sensor, the PSG allows improved engine
performance and efficiency.
In addition to its innovative PSG, BorgWarner supplies
turbocharging technologies for the MDB as well.
