How do Cat engines with ACERT Technology meet tougher 2007 emissions standards while maintaining top performance and excellent fuel economy? With refinements to the same innovative approach proven successful over millions of miles: using more cool, clean air for more efficient combustion. Still a Systems Solution
The systems solution of ACERT Technology, a proven success, hasnt changed for 2007. Its four basic systems of Air Management, Precision Combustion, Advanced Electronics and Effective Aftertreatment are still the building blocks for reduced emissions, powerful performance and outstanding fuel economy.
Cat Designed InjectionTechnology Clean Gas Induction

New Clean Gas Induction


Clean Gas Induction (CGI) is a proprietary ACERT Technology process that draws off a small amount of non-combustible gas after it has passed through the engines aftertreatment system. The gas is then cooled, blended with more incoming cool, clean air and returned to the combustion chamber. Since it has passed through the diesel particulate filter, most contaminants have been removed before the gas re-enters the intake system.

The CGI process through the DPF


NOx, H2O, CO2 back to engine

PM, NOx, CO2, HC

Filter Diesel Particulate Filter / Mufer

NOx, H2O, CO2 to exhaust

The CGI process lters and cools exhaust before re-routing it to the engine.

Precision Combustion

Variable Valve Actuation Series Turbocharging

Air Management

The CGI advantage is clear. It recycles cool, clean air, which is key to good fuel economy, reliability and durability.

New Diesel Particulate Filter

ACERT Technology Systems Solution

Advanced Electronics
Electronic Control Module System Integration

Effective Aftertreatment
Diesel Particulate Filter Cat Regeneration System

But 2007 emissions regulations require diesels to emit lower levels of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulates. Thats why Cat has added two new enhancements: Clean Gas Induction and a Cat Diesel Particulate Filter featuring its own Cat Regeneration System (CRS).

For 2007, all engines require a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to further reduce emissions of hydrocarbons and other contaminants. But the Cat manufactured DPF is designed for self-regeneration under all conditions. When the electronic control module detects soot buildup, the Cat Regeneration System (CRS) activates. CRS works automatically, using only the precise amount of fuel necessary to oxidize soot. With CRS, no driver action is required for regeneration. Ash that collects in the Cat DPF can be cleared with a special removal tool.

Gearing Considerations
The C13 engine offers a wide operating range and high torque rise for compatibility with a wide range of transmissions. For best performance, trucks should be geared to achieve the appropriate balance between startability and desired road speed, and drivers should follow Gear Fast, Run Super Slow techniques. For the best balance of performance and economy, spec axle ratios and tire sizes according to the following:

80,000 lb GCW or less


Less than 1750 lb-ft: 1400 rpm @ 65 mph (105 km/h) 1750 lb-ft and above: 1325 rpm @ 65 mph (105 km/h)

Maximum recommended engine speed at cruise is 1500 rpm. To optimize your trucks performance characteristics, the minimum startability requirements are 10% for pickup and delivery, 14% for line haul, 20% for on/off-highway and 25% for off-highway. At peak torque rpm in top gear, the recommended gradeability is 1.8% (1.5% minimum). At cruise speed in top gear, 1.0% is the ideal gradeability. A computerized specing tool called Design Pro 2.0, offered by your Caterpillar dealer or authorized truck dealer, calculates the effects that various driveline components such as transmissions, axles and tires have on engine operation. This analysis allows you to test various driveline specications to nd the one best suited for your application and fuel economy requirements.

GEARING CONSIDERATIONS
The C13 On-Highway Diesel Engine offers a wide operating range and high torque rise, which promotes the use of transmissions with fewer gears. Even with this built-in feature, heavy/specialty haulers must remember their trucks should be geared to achieve the appropriate compromise between startability and desired road speed. The general principal drivers should follow is that of the gear fast, run slow strategy to achieve optimal performance. For the best balance of performance and fuel economy, spec axle ratios and tire sizes according to the following: 80,000 lb GCW or less 430 hp, 1650 lb-ft: 1400 rpm @ 65 mph (105 km/h) Multi-Torque: 80,000 lb GCW or less 430 hp, 1550/1750 lb-ft: 1325 rpm @ 65 mph (105 km/h) 60,000 lb GCW or less 430 hp, 1450/1650 lb-ft: 1325 rpm @ 65mph (105 km/h) Maximum recommended engine speed at cruise is 1500 rpm. The minimum startability requirements are 10% for pick-up and delivery, 14% for linehaul, 20% for on/off highway, and 25% for off-highway. At peak torque rpm in top gear, the recommended gradeability is 1.8% (1.5% minimum). At cruise speed in top gear, 1.0% is the ideal gradeability. To optimize your trucks performance characteristics, a computerized specing tool called Design Pro is offered by your Caterpillar dealer. It calculates effects of various driveline variables on engine operation such as transmissions, axles, and tires. This analysis allows you to verify that your trucks driveline specifications are best suited to your application.

ON-HIGHWAY DIESEL ENGINE 470 hp FUEL AND LUBE OIL REQUIREMENTS


FUEL Model year 2007 and newer Caterpillar onhighway diesel engines require the use of ULSD fuel in order to meet the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2007 emissions regulations for on-highway diesel engines. Failure to use ULSD in these engines is punishable with civil penalties. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel will have 15 ppm (0.0015%) sulfur using the ASTM D5453, ASTM D2622, or DIN 51400 test methods. CRANKCASE LUBE OIL Diesel engine oils meeting the Cat ECF-3 (Engine Crankcase Fluid-3) specification are strongly recommended for use in 2007 model year and newer Caterpillar on-highway diesel engines. The Cat ECF-3 specification was developed in order to protect emissions control systems, help comply with the emissions standards, reduce engine wear, and control piston deposits and oil consumption in 2007 model year and newer on-highway diesel engines that are designed to use fuels with 15 ppm (0.0015%) sulfur. The combination of ULSD fuel and API CJ-4 compliant diesel engine oil is strongly recommended for optimum engine system performance. Note: Oils that meet the API CJ-4 oil category requirements are Cat ECF-3 compliant.

for Bottom-Line Value Toda


How do Cat engines with ACERT Technology meet tougher 2007 emissions standards while maintaining top performance and excellent fuel economy? With refinements to the same innovative approach proven successful over millions of miles: using more cool, clean air for more efficient combustion. Still a Systems Solution
The systems solution of ACERT Technology, a proven success, hasnt changed for 2007. Its four basic systems of Air Management, Precision Combustion, Advanced Electronics and Effective Aftertreatment are still the building blocks for reduced emissions, powerful performance and outstanding fuel economy.
Cat Designed InjectionTechnology Clean Gas Induction

New Clean Gas Induction


Clean Gas Induction (CGI) is a proprietary ACERT Technology process that draws off a small amount of non-combustible gas after it has passed through the engines aftertreatment system. The gas is then cooled, blended with more incoming cool, clean air and returned to the combustion chamber. Since it has passed through the diesel particulate filter, most contaminants have been removed before the gas re-enters the intake system.

The CGI process through the DPF


NOx, H2O, CO2 back to engine

PM, NOx, CO2, HC

Filter Diesel Particulate Filter / Mufer

NOx, H2O, CO2 to exhaust

The CGI process lters and cools exhaust before re-routing it to the engine.

Precision Combustion

Variable Valve Actuation Series Turbocharging

Air Management

The CGI advantage is clear. It recycles cool, clean air, which is key to good fuel economy, reliability and durability.

New Diesel Particulate Filter

ACERT Technology Systems Solution

Advanced Electronics
Electronic Control Module System Integration

Effective Aftertreatment
Diesel Particulate Filter Cat Regeneration System

But 2007 emissions regulations require diesels to emit lower levels of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulates. Thats why Cat has added two new enhancements: Clean Gas Induction and a Cat Diesel Particulate Filter featuring its own Cat Regeneration System (CRS).

For 2007, all engines require a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to further reduce emissions of hydrocarbons and other contaminants. But the Cat manufactured DPF is designed for self-regeneration under all conditions. When the electronic control module detects soot buildup, the Cat Regeneration System (CRS) activates. CRS works automatically, using only the precise amount of fuel necessary to oxidize soot. With CRS, no driver action is required for regeneration. Ash that collects in the Cat DPF can be cleared with a special removal tool.

Gearing Considerations
The C15 engine offers a wide operating range and high torque rise for compatibility with a wide range of transmissions. For best performance, trucks should be geared to achieve the appropriate balance between startability and desired road speed, and drivers should follow Gear Fast, Run Super Slow techniques. For the best balance of performance and economy, spec axle ratios and tire sizes according to the following:

Maximum recommended engine speed at cruise is 1500 rpm for most applications. To optimize your trucks performance characteristics, the minimum startability requirements are 10% for pickup and delivery, 14% for line haul, 20% for on/off-highway and 25% for off-highway. At peak torque rpm in top gear, the recommended gradeability is 1.8% (1.5% minimum). At cruise speed in top gear, 1.0% is the ideal gradeability. A computerized specing tool called Design Pro 2.0, offered by your Caterpillar dealer or authorized truck dealer, calculates the effects that various driveline components such as transmissions, axles and tires have on engine operation. This analysis allows you to test various driveline specications to nd the one best suited for your application and fuel economy requirements.

* With its multi-torque option, the C15 delivers an additional 200 lb-ft of peak torque in the top two gears. This not only boosts fuel economy, but also enhances driver satisfaction by reducing the amount of shifting required.

GEARING CONSIDERATIONS
The C15 On-Highway Diesel Engine offers a wide operating range and high torque rise, which promotes the use of transmissions with fewer gears. Even with this built-in feature, heavy/specialty haulers must remember their trucks should be geared to achieve the appropriate compromise between startability and desired road speed. The general principal drivers should follow is that of the gear fast, run slow strategy to achieve optimal performance. For the best balance of performance and fuel economy, spec axle ratios and tire sizes according to the following: 80,000 lb GCW or less Less than 1750 lb-ft: 1400 rpm @ 65 mph (105 km/h) 1750 lb-ft and above: 1325 rpm @ 65 mph (105 km/h) 90,000 lb GCW or more 1500 1650 rpm @ cruise speed Multi-Torque: 80,000 lb GCW or less 435-hp, 1550/1750 lb-ft: 1325 rpm @ 65 mph (105 km/h) 475-hp, 1650/1850 lb-ft: 1325 rpm @ 65 mph (105 km/h) Maximum recommended engine speed at cruise is 1500 rpm. The minimum startability requirements are 10% for pick-up and delivery, 14% for linehaul, 20% for on/off highway, and 25% for off-highway. At peak torque rpm in top gear, the recommended gradeability is 1.8% (1.5% minimum). At cruise speed in top gear, 1.0% is the ideal gradeability. To optimize your trucks performance characteristics, a computerized specing tool called Design Pro is offered by your Caterpillar dealer. It calculates effects of various driveline variables on engine operation such as transmissions, axles, and tires. This analysis allows you to verify that your trucks driveline specifications are best suited to your application.

ON-HIGHWAY DIESEL ENGINE 435 to 625 hp FUEL AND LUBE OIL REQUIREMENTS
FUEL Model year 2007 and newer Caterpillar onhighway diesel engines require the use of ULSD fuel in order to meet the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2007 emissions regulations for on-highway diesel engines. Failure to use ULSD in these engines is punishable with civil penalties. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel will have 15 ppm (0.0015%) sulfur using the ASTM D5453, ASTM D2622, or DIN 51400 test methods. CRANKCASE LUBE OIL Diesel engine oils meeting the Cat ECF-3 (Engine Crankcase Fluid-3) specification are strongly recommended for use in 2007 model year and newer Caterpillar on-highway diesel engines. The Cat ECF-3 specification was developed in order to protect emissions control systems, help comply with the emissions standards, reduce engine wear, and control piston deposits and oil consumption in 2007 model year and newer on-highway diesel engines that are designed to use fuels with 15 ppm (0.0015%) sulfur. The combination of ULSD fuel and API CJ-4 compliant diesel engine oil is strongly recommended for optimum engine system performance. Note: Oils that meet the API CJ-4 oil category requirements are Cat ECF-3 compliant.

The Cat ECF-3 specification was developed in order to protect emissions control systems, help comply with the emissions standards, reduce engine wear, and control piston deposits and oil consumption in 2007 model year and newer on-highway diesel engines that are designed to use fuels with 15 ppm (0.0015%) sulfur. The combination of ULSD fuel and API CJ-4 compliant diesel engine oil is strongly recommended for optimum engine system performance. Note: Oils that meet the API CJ-4 oil category requirements are Cat ECF-3 compliant.
