Benefits & Features
Engine Design
- Proven reliability and durability - 45°C ambient capability*- Robust diesel strength design prolongs life and lowers owning an operating costs- Broad operating speed range- PTO drive options provide flexible access to auxiliary power for pumps and other needs
Cat® Hazardous Location Engine
Cat Petroleum Hazardous Location Engines are third-party certified from Caterpillar- Class I Division 2 (NEC 500), - Class I Zone 2 (NEC 505), and - ATEX Directive (94/9/EC) Group II, 3G environments (Zone 2) with Gas Group IIA, Electrical IIC, and Temperature Class T3
Technology
- Electrical harness containing point-to-point wiring without splices in any power/signal wires- Electrical harnesses and connectors are overmolded and are routed through urethane tube for protection against impact and vertical flame propagation.- To meet safety requirements, connectors require the use of a special tool to be disconnected and bear the “do not disconnect while energized” warning.- Optional ATEX and NEC certified 25-foot customer harness- ECU is certified as part of the engine to restricted breathing per EN 60079-15. ECU is protected with a stainless steel guard.- Fuel injector connections at valve cover bases are protected with stainless steel guards
Advanced Digital Engine Management
ADEM A4 engine management system integrates speed control, air/fuel ratio control and ignition/detonation controls into a complete engine management system. control system with integrated digital ignition, engine protection and monitoring
Air System
- Remote aftercooler (REMAC, air-to-air) and separate circuit (water-to-air) aftercooler options available to match any application requirement.- Water-cooled exhaust manifold and turbo maintain ATEXcompliant skin temperature during operation- Air Inlet shut-off enables emergency shut-off for operator safety
Improved Serviceability
- Front, right and rear dipsticks- Remote oil and fuel filters- 12V and 24V electronic systems to improve application flexibility
Transmissions
The full line of Cat engine/transmission packages can be fully integrated with your axle, hydraulics, and operator interface. Cat transmissions deliver continuous operation under full load, smooth shifting at any speed, and maximum up time, with unmatched durability and easy maintenance.
