Cat C15 Engine with ACERT TechnologyA combination of proven systems and innovative new technologies, ACERT enginesoptimize performance while meeting EU Stage IIIA engine exhaust emission regulations.

ACERT Technology. The C15 ACERTengine introduces a series of evolutionary,incremental improvements that providebreakthrough engine technology built onsystems and components developed byCaterpillar with proven reliability. The technology capitalizes on Caterpillarexpertise in four core engine systems:fuel, air, electronics and after treatment.ACERT technology is a unique andrevolutionary systems solution thatenables Cat engines to meet today’s cleanair regulations, thus establishing thebuilding blocks for attaining tomorrow’smore stringent standards.

C15 Block. The one-piece, gray ironblock features generous ribbing forstiffness and heavy bearing bulkheadsfor rigidity and strength as the crank-shaft turns. Straight O-ring connectionpoints reduce the loss of engine oiland fluids.

Cylinder Head and Piston Technology.The C15 has a cross-flow cylinderhead with refined port geometry,which improves breathing and providesbetter combustion. The Monotherm/steel pistons have a forged steel design,which offers high strength, light weightand tighter tolerances. The result isbetter oil control, minimal blow-byand long liner life.

Advanced Diesel Engine Management(ADEM) A4 Engine Controller.The ADEM A4 electronic controlmodule manages fuel delivery to getthe best performance per liter or gallonof fuel used. The engine managementsystem provides flexible fuel mapping,allowing the engine to respond quicklyto varying application needs. It tracksengine and machine conditions whilekeeping the engine operating at peakefficiency.

Fuel Delivery. Multiple injection fueldelivery involves a high degree ofprecision. Precisely shaping thecombustion cycle lowers combustionchamber temperatures, generatingfewer emissions and optimizing fuelcombustion. This translates into morework output for your fuel cost.

Noise Reduction Technologies.Noise reduction has been achievedthrough design changes to the isolatedtop cover, oil pan, multiple injectionstrategy, insulated timing case cover,sculpted crankcase and gear trainrefinements.

Controlled Throttle Shifting (CTS).Significantly reduces power train stressand clutch wear by controlling enginespeed, torque converter lock up andtransmission clutch engagements.

Engine Overspeed Inhibitor. ElectronicTransmission Control (ETC) protectsagainst engine overspeeding by shiftingthe transmission up one gear at specifiedrpm settings. If the transmission is in itshighest gear, torque converter lockupdisengages.

Caterpillar Engine Compression Brake.Provides extra braking effort ondownhill grades. It is an excellentmatch for the Cat C15 ACERT engine,turning it into a power absorbing aircompressor. It has very fast responsetime and produces no additional heat,so it can be used continuously.

Usable Rimpull. Power train componentswork together to offer more usablerimpull at higher speeds on effectivegrades. In first gear, the torque converterovercomes grade resistance by sendingmore torque to the wheels and preventingengine lugging. On downhill grades, the engine compression brake works likea brake by slowing the machine.

Hydraulic Fan. The remote-mountedhydraulic fan is temperature sensitiveproviding variable speeds when needed,which minimizes power requirements.The result is more power to the groundand faster cycle time.

Performance and Productivity – Power TrainIntegrated power train with more power, greater performance and lower fuel consumption –the power to do more work.

Mechanically Actuated Electronic UnitInjection (MEUI). A highly evolved fuel system with a proven record ofreliability in the field. It combines thetechnical advancement of an electroniccontrol system with the simplicity ofdirect mechanically controlled unit fuelinjection. It excels in its ability to controlinjection pressure over the entire engineoperating speed range. These featuresallow the Cat C15 to have completecontrol over injection timing, duration,and pressure.

Air-to-Air Aftercooling (ATAAC).ATAAC keeps air intake temperaturesdown and, in concert with the tighttolerance combustion chambercomponents, maximizes fuel efficiencyand minimizes emissions. Significantimprovements in airflow are generatedby a turbocharger, unique cross-flowhead and single overhead cam.

Wastegate Turbocharging.Single wastegate turbocharger provideshigher boost over a wide range, out-standing low-end performance withimproved peak torque and enhancedengine response.

Electronic Transmission. The Caterpillarseven-speed electronically controlledtransmission is designed specifically forthe articulated truck and its applications.It features anti-hunt shift strategy forspeed continuity. It also incorporatesIndividual Clutch Modulation (ICM)to ensure constant shift times even whenthe oil is cold.

Two Reverse Gears. The transmissionarrangement provides a second reversegear for improved performance whenoperating in longer rear haulingapplications. First gear reverse is now ofa lower ratio for increased rimpullon wet or steep grades.
