Bendix® PBS® Air Injection Engine Booster

This video highlights the benefits of the Bendix® PBS® Air Injection Engine Booster, part of the total air management solution developed by Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC that helps fleets and owner-operators reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, while increasing vehicle performance. The Bendix PBS engine booster is unlike any other product available on the market today. The PBS 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. Typically, when a driver presses down on the throttle to demand acceleration, there is a delay in engine response because of turbo lag. This lag constitutes the time difference between acceleration demand and the maximum air delivery of the turbocharger. The Bendix PBS 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. Vehicles operating with the Bendix PBS system can reduce fuel consumption by up to 3 percent. The Bendix PBS system is part of the company's continuing efforts to provide the industry's most comprehensive, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly air management energy system. Along with the Bendix PBS system, the Bendix® air management system consists of two other optimized components: the Bendix® Turbo-Clutch Air Compressor, and Bendix® Electronic Air Control Dryer (EAC).
