A keen market sense coupled with tightly aligned processes, manufacturing excellence and fast implementation makes BorgWarner a market and product leader. Our thermal management systems are designed to meet the needs of our global customers while also improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.
To help improve both performance and lifespan of battery cells, our cooling systems feature excellent coolant distribution, which leads to good homogeneity, and low thermal resistance and pressure drop.
Power electronics are crucial in the automotive industry, especially for EV/HEV applications, as they form a key part of the inverters and their performance is temperature-dependent. Our eCoolers are designed to dissipate the high heat generated during power conversion, preventing failures and enhancing efficiency.
Batteries have a narrow optimal temperature range. BorgWarner’s specially developed high voltage coolant heaters have been developed to keep the core components of hybrid and pure electric vehicles at temperatures that facilitate maximum charging efficiency, durability and driving range. It delivers heat to the interior quickly and clears the ice from windows in short order.
Secondary air systems are important for gas cold-engine starts when the majority of hydrocarbon emissions are created. The complete system (including pump, valve, bracket, relay and hoses) provides additional advantages such as low noise and vibration. Air pump flows can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements. BorgWarner has a diverse list of global electric air pump (EAP) customers.
Airflow management plays a key role in cooling the engine. Our polymer cooling fans range from optimized axial flow fans and ring-fans for specific installations, to new hybrid designs to cover future cooling demands. New features include improved aerodynamics and durability in the same light-weight package. Using technology-focused design methods such as FEA, CFD and MoldFlow™, performance and reliability are optimized.BorgWarner’s Guide Vane design provides optimized air-flow potential through its world-class efficiency improvements and unique diffuser design. This unique design requires lower torque than fans operating in a traditional shroud, translating into more power to the wheels.
Visctronic Fan Drives utilize BorgWarner’s proven viscous technology with precise electronic control.The fan drive is controlled by the engine’s control module for precise fan speed modulation. Visctronic fan drives provide better engine cooling and improved fuel economy with minimum parasitic loss.
