AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Jan. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
BorgWarner supplies the electric auxiliary thermal coolant pump
(ATCP) for a turbocharged compact SUV built by a major Chinese
automaker. Featuring a brushless, no-leak, low-noise design with
integrated microcontroller, BorgWarner's ATCP provides a continuous
flow of coolant through auxiliary circuits even when the engine is
shut down, helping auxiliary components maintain optimal operating
temperature and contributing to longer component life, improved
fuel economy and lower emissions. In this application, a 100-watt
ATCP assists in turbocharger and indirect charge air cooling.
"Turbocharged vehicles employ an auxiliary pump to optimize
cooling efficiency. Vehicles with stop/start systems benefit from
an auxiliary pump to maintain cabin temperatures when the engine
shuts down. Electric and hybrid vehicles benefit from an auxiliary
pump to improve driver comfort and keep batteries at a constant
temperature to maximize driving range. BorgWarner's ATCP supports
all of these powertrains," said Daniel
Paterra, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Thermal
Systems. "BorgWarner is pleased to provide engineering and
localized production from our campus in Ningbo, China, for a growing list of
automakers."
BorgWarner's family of ATCPs is designed for a variety of
automotive and commercial vehicle voltage ranges to support a wide
range of small- and medium-flow applications. When the engine is
running, an integrated microcontroller communicates directly with
the engine controller to maintain optimum speed for engine
conditions, from 0 to 100 percent depending on the application.
When the engine is off, the ATCP transmits heat to a heater core
(or heat exchanger) to keep auxiliary systems working at optimal
temperatures. Featuring an optimized brushless DC motor and
floating rotor, BorgWarner's ATCP delivers superior performance
with very low noise. The innovative no-leak design does not require
a face or lip seal, eliminating a high-wear component for improved
durability.
