BorgWarner secures another contract to supply EGR coolers to North American CV OEM
By Luke Willetts - 26th September 2024
USA – CV powertrain components giant, BorgWarner Inc of Auburn Hills, Michigan, USA, has announced it has signed yet another long-term contract, with an unnamed North American OEM to supply its Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) coolers. The start of production is scheduled for Q4 2027 with implementation across various CV applications. The EGR coolers are an integral part of reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in internal combustion engines. These coolers work by lowering the temperature of the exhaust gases that are reintroduced into the combustion chamber, which helps reduce peak combustion temperatures and, as a result, decreases the formation of harmful NOx emissions.
BorgWarner offers EGR coolers in both tube and fin configurations, utilising materials like stainless steel to handle the high temperatures and pressures associated with exhaust gases. Their designs aim to maximise thermal efficiency while ensuring durability and resistance to fouling, which is a common issue in EGR systems. BorgWarner’s products are used in both light and heavy-duty vehicles, as well as off-road applications. The company has also focused on enhancing the robustness of its EGR coolers to meet stricter emissions standards globally, including the latest Euro and EPA regulations. This makes their technology a popular choice for automakers aiming to meet these emissions requirements without sacrificing engine performance.
