Caterpillar Marine
Power
When it comes to reliable engine power, you cant afford to
compromise. You need proven power. Optimum power. Caterpillar
understands how important your marine power needs are. Thats why
we design marine engines for superior reliability. Thats why every
Cat marine engine is built to last. And why when it comes to fuel
consumption, Caterpillar engines are an efficient choice.
Cat engine reliability doesnt stop at the engine design. When you
buy a Cat marine engine, youre assured of excellence in customer
support. Our global dealer network offers you the expertise and
parts you need to keep your engine running smoothly.
Caterpillar offers two product lines for marine applications. The MaK
medium-speed product line has propulsion, auxiliary, and gen set
engines in the power range from 1,020 to 16,000 kW. The Caterpillar
product line has propulsion engines from 127 to 7,682 mhp, auxiliary
engines from 162 to 5,420 bkW, and gen sets from 11 to 5,200 ekW.
Marine Classification Society certification is available for most
marine ratings. Caterpillar works with eleven major marine societies.
Consult your Cat dealer for detailed information.
All Cat engines in this guide over 174 bhp/130 bkW (with the
exception of the Cat 3508, 3512, and 3516 Mechanical Control System
engines) meet the IMO regulation on NOx emissions (Regulation 13
of Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78). Caterpillar has met this goal while
continuing to optimize engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Factory-designed systems built at Caterpillar 9001:2000 certified
facilities.
How To Use This Guide

For marine propulsion engine ratings, consider how your vessel
is operated. Loads varyand Caterpillar ratings reflect various
vessel operation needs. Review the rating definitions and engines
available on pages 10-17, and decide which rating best defines your
application. Once you have decided which rating (A, B, C, D, E) best
meets your needs, refer to the appropriate engine model page for
more information.

Customer Support Programs

for Cat Marine Products
Caterpillar offers a variety of integrated solutions to help
you protect your investment, minimize owning and operating
costs, and maximize up-time. These solutions are specifically
tailored to meet your needs.
Extended Service Coverage (ESC)

Platinum ESC is available for 36-, 48-, or 60-month periods
and up to 6,000 hours (25,000 hours for revenue producing)
from date of delivery for your new Caterpillar propulsion
engines, auxiliary engines, and generator sets. For pleasure
craft applications, Platinum-Plus ESC covers Caterpillar
engine controls and certain pilot house displays.
Advantage for Used Pleasure Craft Engines

Platinum is an exclusive Caterpillar product for propulsion
engines less than eight years old. These engines must meet
inspection and sea trial guidelines to qualify. Coverage is
available for 12-, 24-, or 36-month periods in 250-, 500-, or
1000-hour increments. Maximum hour limitations apply. ESC
coverage mirrors the standard warranty coverage and is
also transferable.
Customer Support Agreements (CSAs)

Three flexible CSA options are available which can be
customized to fit your needs: Inspection, Preventive
Maintenance, and Total Maintenance and Repair. The more
comprehensive the CSA, the greater the benefits. Caterpillar
tests have proven that with CSAs, engine operating time is
significantly increased. They ensure that maintenance and
repairs are completed by highly skilled technicians and only
use Cat parts.
Contact your nearest Caterpillar dealer

for additional details on these programs.
ACERT Technology
for Caterpillar Marine Engines
Consistent with their long history of technological
innovation and progress, Caterpillar is continually
investing in research and development. Over $500 million
has been invested to meet todays stringent emissions
regulations and to offer the market a reliable product
with the performance that meets the needs of customers
worldwide. This latest evolution in the Caterpillar engine
line is the introduction of ACERT Technology. Caterpillar
draws on a wide range of product experience to develop
these basic engine system innovations. As new engines
are developed, specific ACERT Technology components
are incorporated to reduce smoke and noise, provide
better performance, and increase fuel efficiency. The four
fundamental components are:
Electronics
The newest Cat ADEM electronic control module
and proprietary software, developed specifically for
each power rating and emissions level, allow ACERT
engines to precisely control and shape fuel delivery, air
management, and all other engine functions.
Fuel Delivery
Multiple fuel injection delivery introduces fuel into the
combustion chamber in a series of precisely timed
micro bursts. This provides maximum power and fuel
efficiency with minimum emission levels.
Air Management
Air management technologies such as cross flow
cylinder heads, wastegate turbochargers, even variable
valve timing can be incorporated to control combustion
air, burn fuel more efficiently, and enhance performance.
Combustion
Combustion system design pulls the maximum amount of
energy from fuel delivery and applies this energy to the
propeller or generator.
ACERT Technology combines proven systems with
innovative new technologies to enhance the combustion
process to such a high degree that it optimizes total
engine performance while offering a highly effective
emissions reduction solution. Because ACERT Technology
is primarily for combustion, there is no external plumbing
to clutter cramped engine rooms. And when you specify
an engine, components are included only as needed,
so you get a solution optimized for your application. In
applications where stringent emissions standards are in
force, Caterpillar engines with ACERT Technology deliver
excellent performance, efficiency, and durability.

*Ratings that are IW/CC2 compliant are also IMO compliant and
qualify for DNV Clean and DNV Clean Design.
IMO Statement:
Compliant with IMO emissions standards for the year 2000 as
defined by Regulation 13 of Annex VI to the International Convention
for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the
protocol of 1997. Engines certified to EPA Tier 1 or better are IMO
compliant.
DNV Clean and Clean Design:
DNV Clean and Clean Design are ship notations granted by the
DNV surveyor. DNV Clean and DNV Clean Design require specific
emissions charateristics of all engines used on board. For DNV
Clean, all engines must meet IMO emissions standards. An IMO
technical file is required. For DNV Clean Design status, Caterpillar
offers engines certified to EPA Tier 2 and EU 97/68/EC Stage IIIA
standards. These engines require both an IMO technical file and an
EU technical file, both available for order from Caterpillar Inc.

extensive factory testing.
Caterpillar Generator Sets typically exceed NEMA and IEEE
standards for load acceptance. All rotor designs have been type
tested at 150% overspeed for two hours at 338 F (170 C) ambient
temperature.
Heat Exchanger/Keel Cooled for ships prime power, navigation,
lighting, radio, propulsion, thrusters, (electric motor driven).
Radiator Cooled for emergency power generation on deck,
harbor unloading.
Rating Definition
Prime power for continuous electrical service capable of 10%
overload. Marine generator ratings are based on 194 F (90 C)
temperature rise for the generator.
Rating Conditions
Ratings are based on SAE J3046 and J1349 standard conditions of
29.61 in. Hg (100 kPa) and 77 F (25 C). These ratings also apply
at ISO8665, ISO3046-1:2002E, DIN6271-3, and BS5514 standard
conditions of 29.61 in. Hg (100 kPa), 81 F (27 C), and 60% relative
humidity.
Fuel rates are based on fuel oil of 35 API [60 F (16 C)] gravity
having an LHV of 18,390 Btu/lb (42 780 kJ/kg) when used at 85 F
(29 C) and weighing 7.001 lbs/U.S. gal. (838.9 g/liter).
If your plans call for diesel electric propulsion:
Reference the prime power marine generator set ratings for 3500
and smaller engines.
For C280 engines, reference the maximum continuous (MC) ratings
on page 15 or pages 40-43 of this Selection Guide when the average
load factor is less than 80%. Reference the continuous service (CS)
ratings on page 11 or pages 40-43 for average load factors greater
than 80%. These ratings have a 10% overload capability.

Power factor (pf) is the ratio between Real Power and

Apparent Power. It is also the ratio between the resistive part
of impedance and total impedance. Power factor can be read
directly with a power factor meter. It can also be calculated
from voltage, current, and power meter readings.
Power Factor = Real Power

The shipping industry today relies on dependable on-board electrical power
generation. MaK auxiliary diesel engines ensure the availability of this
electrical power, wherever and whenever needed. Whether for navigational
equipment, monitoring installations, refrigerated containers, lighting, pumps,
heating, or ventilation, MaK auxiliary engines are the right choice.
As with the MaK propulsion engines, these auxiliary engines can be
operated with the economical Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) option, and are compliant
with the NOx limits according to IMO Code MARPOL 73/78, Annex VI.
