Emissions
Ratings are NSPS site compliant capable with customer-supplied aftertreatment. For specific emission information, please consult your local Cat Dealer.
Engine Design
- Built on G3500 LE proven reliability and durability
- Ability to burn a wide spectrum of gaseous fuels
- Robust diesel strength design prolongs life and lowersowning and operating costs
- Broad operating speed range at lower site air densities(high altitude/hot ambient temperatures)
Ultra Lean Burn Technology (ULB)
ULB technology uses an advanced control system, abetter turbo match, improved air and fuel mixing, and amore sophisticated combustion recipe to provide:- Lowest engine-out emissions- Highest fuel efficiency- Improved altitude and speed turndown- Stable load acceptance and load rejection
Advanced Digital Engine Management
ADEM A3 engine management system integrates speedcontrol, air/fuel ratio control, and ignition/detonationcontrols into a complete engine management system.ADEM A3 has improved: user interface, display system,shutdown controls, and system diagnostics.
Full Range of Attachments
Large variety of factory-installed engine attachmentsreduces packaging time.
