Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems' energy management system increases engine efficiency for improved fuel savings and reduced emissions through the use of three optimized components: Bendix PBS Air Injection Booster, Bendix Electronic Air Control (EAC) Dryer and Bendix Turbo-Clutch Air Compressor. The system is placed near the air intake manifold on an engine and monitors the Controller Area Network (CAN) for specific signals. Once the conditions for activation are met, the system injects compressed air from an auxiliary air tank into the engine manifold, delivering the desired amount of air that the diesel combustion processes require. The system overcomes turbo lag by instantaneously injecting the desired air into the intake manifold, allowing the turbocharger to spin up to its full capacity and take over the air delivery demands.
