ISO 9001 Certification Match a reliable Cat® engine to your application

In 1992, Caterpillar’s Mossville Engine Center received
ISO certification. Today, 23 Caterpillar departments or
facilities have been ISO 9001 certified including our
Large Engine Center in Lafayette, Indiana. This
company-wide commitment to quality has translated
into high customer acceptance in the diesel and gas
engine markets worldwide.
Cat ACERT® Technology

Tier 3 certified engines include Cat ACERT Technology,
a clever blend of improved air management,
sophisticated electronic controls and advanced fuel
injection. Caterpillar engines do not require
aftertreatment to meet Tier 3/Stage IIIa standards.

Key Benefits :
C6.6 RATINGS Noise reduction: The C6.6 ACERT was designed to
C Rating
meet the upcoming European and North American
noise regulations. The C6.6 has an insulated timing
cover and an isolated oil pan and valve cover. The
bkW bhp rpm added insulation and separation help diminish the
NA noise perceptible from the engine. Tighter gear
88.7 119 2200 tolerance has helped to reduce gear backlash and
any noise emitted from the gear train. The C6.6 emits
167.8 225 2200
3-5 decibels lower than it’s predecessors.
186 250 2200
Fuel Efficiency: Fuel efficiency is achieved through
the demand-based pump, which allows for only high-
pressure fuel to be pumped into the fuel injectors.
The engine achieves low parasitic loss because less
energy is required by fuel pump.
Leak Free Design: The C6.6 ACERT provides less
opportunity for leaks by switching between high and
low pressure, which minimizes the number of parts
that experience high pressure. Also, the C6.6 was
designed with internal fluid passages to reduce
leaks.
Reliability: The C6.6 includes the proven technology
of the poly-vee belt, which has increased belt
strength and decreases maintenance. The v-belt
reduces belt wear, which improves the reliability. The
C6.6 incorporates the tested and proven HEUI pump
that provides power for the unit injectors.
Durability: Increased block and crankshaft strength
gives the C6.6 ACERT a robust design and increases
ratings and power density. The C6.6 has been
designed and endurance tested to achieve over
10000 hours of useful life. The injector tips are the
only part of the unit injector to be exposed to the
high-pressure fuel system during injection. This
limited exposure, along with increased fuel efficiency
and decreased engine wear are all made possible by
the improved three-way valve injector.

Reliability : C13 ACERT relies on proven C-12

technology. The single piece cylinder head design
has proven itself durable as well as reliable, with
thorough testing and use. There are tens of
thousands of C13 ACERT operating with the highest
efficiency all over the world. An hp to weight ratio
perfectly suited for most industrial segments helps
generate a high yield on investment. C13 ACERT

stability. A steel spacer core sandwiched between
two layers of spring steel increases the head
gaskets resilience. Gasket resilience increases
engine life by decreasing leakage.
Easy Maintenance : C13 ACERT has the industry

standard, 500-hour oil change intervals. C13 ACERT
minimizes your operating costs by utilizing the same
oil that Tier 2/Stage II engines currently use. C13
ACERT is equipped with a new highly efficient oil
filter (based on Cat’s hydraulic technology). The
new filter reduces engine wear and enhances
contamination control.

Flexibility for the Future
By substituting parts, typically at overhaul time, you
can convert 3600 engines from distillate to heavy-
fuel configurations, and vice versa. The 3600 family
of engines can also burn crude oil, with engine
ratings dependent upon fuel characteristics.
Generally, these ratings fall between those for
distillate and heavy fuel.
