Eaton to highlight Turbulator cooling technology and advanced engine air management solutions for commercial vehicles at ACT Expo

SOUTHFIELD, Mich.—Intelligent power management company Eaton announced its Mobility Group will showcase its Turbulator cooling technology alongside advanced engine air management solutions at ACT Expo, scheduled for May 4–7, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The exhibit will highlight how Eaton’s Turbulator-enabled valves help commercial vehicle manufacturers manage extreme engine temperatures while supporting durability, efficiency, performance and vehicle control in heavy-duty operating environments.

In addition to its Turbulator-equipped hollow engine valves, Eaton also plans to feature its late intake valve closing (LIVC) systems and high-power engine brake solutions at ACT Expo. Together, these innovations support advanced combustion strategies, improve engine efficiency and reliability, and enhance overall vehicle performance.

Turbulator-equipped hollow engine valves are engineered to improve internal valve cooling by increasing sodium movement within the hollow structure. This enhanced circulation boosts heat transfer away from the valve head, improving thermal management and helping engines maintain reliable performance under the higher temperatures and loads common in heavy-duty applications.

Eaton’s late intake valve closing (LIVC) systems provide improved control of engine airflow and compression. This greater control enables manufacturers to refine combustion strategies, ultimately supporting higher fuel efficiency.

High-performance engine braking technologies will also be on display. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with commercial vehicle air brake systems, these solutions deliver added control on steep grades and under heavy loads, easing reliance on service brakes. The result is reduced brake wear, improved safety and greater overall vehicle stability—making engine braking a critical asset in the most demanding duty cycles.

Deep expertise in engine air management

Eaton has more than a century of experience in engine air management and is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of engine valves and valve actuation systems. Its broad portfolio—including solid and hollow engine valves, advanced valve actuation technologies and supercharger solutions used in high-performance applications—demonstrates deep, specialized expertise in managing airflow, temperature and combustion to optimize engine performance and durability.

Eaton supports this expertise with global engineering, testing and validation capabilities across the United States and worldwide. These facilities enable advanced airflow modeling, durability validation and thermal performance testing under real-world operating conditions, helping accelerate the development of efficient, durable air-management technologies for commercial vehicle manufacturers.
