The company will be at the show to remind technicians about the importance of thermal management in modern engines. For performance and efficiency to be sustained, the correct temperature must be maintained across the engine. This is often only possible if electric pumps are used, which has led to a number of innovations from the company. One of these was the friction wheel switchable tensioner, initially developed for BMW Mini to activate the water pump in the PRINCE engine used on the Mini after 2006. This, along with water pumps, e-pumps, thermostats and radiator caps, will be on display at the show.
