The A/C compressor is the central element of a vehicle air conditioning system and is driven by the engine. It compresses the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit of the air conditioner. combustor Environmental protection Safety Function DepreciationToday's chemical refrigerants for motor vehicle air conditioning systems belong to the group of partly fluorinated hydrocarbons (R134a) or (partially) halogenated alkanes (HFO-1234yf) and contribute to the greenhouse effect. When…
The classic vehicle market is one that is worth £18 billion annually, it’s steeped in history, loyalty and pride, but with the desire for the world to become more environmentally friendly, could it be put to the side and shunned, rather than celebrated for the exciting industry it is? Is the classic car market under threat because of E10 petrol? • Problems E10 petrol can cause in a classic vehicle • Environmentally friendly • Availability The classic vehicle market is one that…
Alongside the standard 12-volt vehicle electrical system, the 48-volt vehicle electrical system is an additional system that enables mild hybridisation of the drive train. Drive concepts are called mild hybrids when an electric motor supports the internal combustion engine, the power of which is not sufficient, however, to drive the vehicle alone. 48-volt vehicle electrical systems are currently mainly integrated in modern high-end passenger cars. hybrid Function Safety…
Strong Aftermarket Partner The most powerful auto manufacturers in the world rely on the energy-efficient propulsion solutions from BorgWarner – and the company’s products are also first choice in the aftermarket. BorgWarner, as a long-term strong and reliable partner in the aftermarket segment, has a proven track record for supplying turbochargers and cutting-edge technologies for reducing emissions, such as thermostats and exhaust gas recirculation valves in Original…
Whether your car has a petrol or diesel engine, it’s hybrid or a full electric vehicle, it still has wheels, tyres and suspension and all these need to be functioning correctly and working in coordination for it to drive as it should and provide the level of comfort you expect. What’s wheel alignment and is it necessary? What is wheel alignment? Who should check it? Is alignment needed when replacing tyres? How often does my car need an alignment? Do I need to get all four…

The connecting rod converts the linear up and down movement of the piston into the circular motion of the crankshaft and is therefore subject to tension, compression, bending and buckling. combustor,hybrid Function Value retention The connecting rod creates the link between the piston and crankshaft and thus transmits power. It converts the linear up and down movement of the piston into the circular motion of the crankshaft and is therefore subject to tension, compression,…
The wheel sensor has the task of recording the speed of the wheels and communicating this information to the driving safety systems in the form of an electrical signal. All modern vehicles are... combustor,hybrid,electric Function SafetyToday, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) is a standard feature of all new vehicles in Europe. ESP® is not far behind. To function reliably, electronic driving safety systems need information about the speed of the wheels, the dynamic behaviour of…
The master cylinder, also known as the master brake cylinder, converts the pressure on the brake pedal to hydraulic pressure by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit and controlling this according to the mechanical force... combustor,hybrid,electric Function Safety Depreciation The master cylinder, also known as the master brake cylinder, converts the pressure on the brake pedal to hydraulic pressure by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit and controlling this…
Control units are electronic modules which enable a variety of functions in modern vehicles. combustor,hybrid,electric Function Diagnostics Design Safety Protection of the environment The inside of modern vehicles is largely comprised of computer-based electronics. Today, a wide range of functions are realised with programmable control systems. These control, for example, ignition and fuel injection, along with comfort functions such as the air conditioning, and safety systems…
