Tailor-made Air Management Systems
As the space available under the hood of passenger cars continues to shrink, the need for efficient thermal management systems is paramount. MAHLE offers tailor-made air management solutions that cater to the evolving needs of customers. These systems not only excel in filtration performance but also ensure optimal flow and thermal management, all while maintaining an extremely compact design.
Innovative Systems for Air Management
With the engine processes growing in complexity, the demands on the intake system have significantly increased. Factors such as emissions regulations, consumption specifications, shorter model cycles, and the need for enhanced performance in compact packages drive modern development. MAHLE's groundbreaking development includes the integration of charge air cooling in the air intake module, marking a substantial advancement in the design for modern combustion engines.
High-performance Air Filters
The ever-decreasing space constraints necessitate higher filtration performance, particularly concerning particle retention efficiency. To address this trend, high-performance filters, intricate flow guidance designs, and innovative filter element concepts are vital. As a leader in plasticized filter elements, MAHLE offers a wide range of design types to adapt flexibly to various package constraints.
Cutting-edge Technologies for Thermal Management
MAHLE's portfolio includes electric blow-by heaters, electric wastegate actuators (EWG), actuators for turbochargers with variable turbine geometry (VTG), resonators/sound generators, oil mist separators, engine and cylinder head covers, air ducts, and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. These technologies ensure optimized heating functions, efficient turbocharger performance, reduced oil mist contamination, lightweight components, and compliance with stringent emissions regulations.
Advancements in Emissions Control
To meet stringent emissions regulations, MAHLE provides solutions like exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. By incorporating cooled EGR, a portion of the exhaust flow is extracted, cooled, and reintroduced into the intake air stream, reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. MAHLE's laser-welded exhaust gas heat exchangers offer exceptional corrosion resistance, and switchable options disable EGR cooling in specific driving scenarios to maintain low pollutant emissions.
