Coolant Pumps Save
Fuel for Heavy Trucks
Behr's (behrgroup.com) Visco diesel engine coolant pumps are now
available on heavy trucks in North America, ofering up to 1% in fuel
savings per year.
The patented Visco technology, which debuted in Europe in 2011,
reduces power losses by electronically controlling coolant-pump speeds
based on engine requirements and operating conditions. The control
logic of the variable-speed clutch operation allows for precise coolant
fow rates, thereby reducing power losses that hinder fuel economy.
The pumps also help reduce emissions, minimize noise and require no
periodic maintenance since they are built for the life of the vehicle.
By 2015, Behr estimates 60,000 heavy-duty trucks in the United States
will have Visco coolant pumps.
u Behr's diesel engine coolant pumps lower fuel consumption in
heavy-duty trucks.
