KIRKS ToolBox Webinar: Darn Near BulletProof Diesel EGR Coolers
We are thrilled to delve into an intriguing discussion about the “darn near bulletproof” EGR cooler technology presented by Bulletproof Diesel.
John highlighted that conventional EGR coolers can fail due to thermal expansion and contraction, especially when coolant levels drop. This failure is often characterized by symptoms such as:
- White smoke from the exhaust
- Loss of coolant
- Unfortunately, by the time these symptoms appear, the damage may already be done, leading to costly repairs and even catastrophic engine failure.
The real star of the webinar was the discussion around Bulletproof Diesel’s patented H-core technology. Unlike traditional EGR coolers, which suffer from structural weaknesses, Bulletproof Diesel’s design utilizes stainless steel tubes twisted together—functioning like a spring. This twist allows the cooler to flex, absorbing pressure and significantly reducing the risk of rupture.
With H-core technology, even in cases of coolant loss, the EGR cooler can prevent catastrophic failures, offering a long-lasting solution for diesel engines.
Quality assurance is paramount. Bulletproof Diesel tests every EGR cooler through rigorous vacuum and pressure tests to ensure they meet high standards before leaving the facility. They also provide a lifetime parts exchange warranty, ensuring that customers can trust the durability of their products.
Testing EGR coolers correctly and understanding the symptoms of failure are crucial for maintaining the health of diesel engines.
