Bullet Proof Diesel released a new line of EGR coolers featuring the patented H-Core technology, which was developed to resist the common causes of EGR cooler failure. Immediately available, the EGR coolers have been engineered for 6.7L Cummins applications, which are found in Ram pickups.
The BulletProof EGR cooler was designed to reduce the failure rate of the component within specific diesel engines. Taking the technology a step further, Bullet Proof Diesel has engineered a patented, self-accommodating ‘H-Core’ design that allows for the natural expansion and contraction of cooling tubes inside the EGR cooler. This limits structural failure, which can occur at the end of the tubes, rupturing the EGR cooler, rendering it useless and leading to possible engine component damage. The H-Core construction also increases the surface area of the coolant tubes within the EGR coolers, making them more effective heat exchangers than other tubed designs.
A more forgiving EGR cooler design is integral to the durability of the component. During the life of an engine, a ‘thermal event’ - that is, an occurrence in which sufficient coolant flow is prevented from reaching the EGR cooler - will cause a temperature spike within the unit that often leads to component failure. This leads to truck downtime, additional repair costs, and legal issues, as keeping the EGR cooler operational is a necessary contingent for public road-use legality in all 50 states.
For the first time, BulletProof EGR coolers with H-CORE internals will be available for non-Ford/International applications. The BulletProof EGR cooler for 6.7L Cummins/Ram applications does away with the stock component’s recommended cleaning schedule (the OE EGR coolers are recommended to be cleaned every 67,500 miles). The larger-diameter tubes within the H-CORE structure require no maintenance and will resist the common causes of EGR cooler clogging. Bullet Proof Diesel offers fitment versions for both pickups and cab/chassis configurations.
