AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
June 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner's regulated two-stage (R2S®)
turbocharging technology improves the performance and fuel economy
of Ford's new powerful 2.0-liter diesel engine, the first Ford
engine for passenger cars equipped with a two-stage turbocharging
system. The high-performance engine achieves an output of 155 kW
(210 HP) and a maximum torque of 450 Nm. Engineered to provide
outstanding performance and fast engine response while reducing
emissions, the fuel-efficient diesel engine will debut in the Ford
Mondeo, S-Max and Galaxy in mid-2015 and will replace the 2.2-liter
TDCi diesel engine. BorgWarner's R2S turbocharging system is a
cutting-edge technology designed to deliver outstanding performance
combined with improved fuel economy for downsized diesel engines, a
growing trend among automakers worldwide.
"A true success story, BorgWarner's R2S turbocharging technology
provides down-sized diesel engines with the optimum combination of
powerful performance and reduced emissions," said Frederic
Lissalde, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems.
"We are pleased to support Ford with our market-leading expertise
in turbocharging technologies, engineered to help automakers comply
with stringent emissions regulations."
BorgWarner's R2S turbocharging technology consists of two
turbochargers arranged in series to deliver improved torque and
smooth power over the entire engine speed range. One compact KP35
high-pressure turbocharger generates boost pressure at low exhaust
gas flow rates for rapid acceleration at low engine speeds without
delay or turbo lag. As engine speed increases, the exhaust gas
stream is split, and the larger K04 low-pressure turbocharger works
in series with the KP35 high-pressure turbocharger. The larger K04
charger pre-compresses the intake air, and the smaller KP35 turbo
compresses it even more. At higher rpm rates, nearly all gases flow
directly through a bypass valve to the K04 low-pressure
turbocharger, which takes over the workload to maintain fluid power
delivery at higher speeds. The R2S turbocharging technology
fulfills the requirements of state-of-the-art engine concepts,
providing maximum exhaust gas recirculation rates even under full
load conditions while significantly reducing emissions.
