Summary
This publication has been written to provide information to the dealers for testing engines on a dynamometer. For proper operation and safety, an engine
should be tested in an approved facility for dynamometers. The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (CAT ET) will allow control and monitoring of the engine
through the master ECM without derating the engine. A recording device will need to be set up to document the test results. The CAT ET does not
record the data. No additional gauges are needed to monitor the engine. Emergency shutdown systems for low oil pressure and high engine
temperature are recommended.
A dynamometer is a specialized tool that provides the final level of quality assurance for testing an out-of-frame engine assembly or an in-chassis
engine assembly. For additional information about Engine Dynamometer Facilities, refer to the following Dealer Facilities Planning websites:
https://dealer.cat.com/en/services/facility-planning/c/dynamometers.html and https://dealer.cat.com/en/services/facility-planning/c/dynamometer-and-
hydraulic-test-bench.html.
Cat ET is required to monitor a C175 engine because of the extremely high fuel rail pressure (over 137,895.2 kPa (20,000.00 psi)). Cat ET is also used
to verify and monitor the angle of the Fuel Control Valve (FCV).
An engine test is used to show that the following three conditions have been met.
(1) The components that affect engine performance were manufactured properly.
A dynamometer test is used to detect failure of engines and to cause failure during testing of engines that do not meet the above criteria.

If the fuel system settings are correct the settings should not be altered in an attempt to change power, torque, fuel rates, specific fuel consumption,
boost, or any other performance characteristic. If the fuel system settings are correct, conflict in any of the performance characteristics demonstrates a
faulty component or an improper assembly of components. This problem should be corrected. The defect should not be hidden by improperly altered fuel
system settings, which will require additional adjustments later in the shop. An engine with the proper power and with improper fuel system settings is a
faulty engine.
In addition to the specified performance characteristics, other characteristics of the engine will be observed. Some other observations are listed below.
blowby
slobber
excessive vibration
unusual noise
Any engine that exhibits abnormalities in any detrimental area is a faulty engine. A report from an engine test, which shows no discrepancies in any of
the performance characteristics, is not the only criteria of an acceptable engine. The engine must meet the individual specifications for engine
performance found in the Technical Marketing Information (TMI) under General Engine Data (Engine Test Specifications).

General Instructions
These procedures on preparing the engine for testing have been developed with the input from several important personnel and experienced operators.
Engine Test
All characteristics of engine performance that are specified in TMI or in this bulletin will be monitored to ensure conformance to those specifications. The
use of an additive in the engine oil that will aid in the detection of oil leaks is permitted.
(1) Any changes to the settings or components affecting airflow through the engine, fuel injected into the engine, or the combustion process.
Note: Not included is the removal of engine components not related to the performance of the engine. Such as external covers, plugs, levers, and
similar components.
(2) Any disassembly and reassembly of the engine which potentially affects the mechanical integrity of the engine or leakage from the engine take place.
To include, bringing the outlet temperature of the engine water to the normal value for full load and checking for leakage from the engine.
Records of Tests
The engine test record will list the details of assembly, discrepancies in the test, and the action that has been done to correct each one. The engine test
record will also include the data in the required performance data which is shown in the section “Performance Test” under Diesel Engines and Spark
Ignited Engines. Including performance problems and problems with parts.
(1) The correction factors for the inlet air pressure will be based on readings from a dry barometer. These values are determined frequently to keep the
values within the allowed accuracy and the measured inlet air restriction.
(2) The correction factors for the inlet air temperature are based on the temperature measured in the air supply line to each engine.
(3) The correction factor for the density of the fuel inlet will be based on the fuel density. These values are determined frequently to stay within the
accuracy required for each measurement that is shown in the chart of tolerances for maximum performance.
Air Supply
The inlet air to the engine will be filtered. The inlet air will be drawn from outside the engine test cell so the ambient air conditions are not affected by
engine operation. The inlet air will then be conveyed to the engine through the appropriate piping. The inlet air restriction of the air cleaner and air piping
must not be more than the limit shown in the TMI General Engine Data (Engine Test Specifications).
Fuel
Diesel
(1) The fuel for the test will be in accordance with the specifications that are given in "Appendix F (Requirements for Diesel Fuel)". Engine power, torque,
and fuel rates will be corrected for variation in the fuel density from 35.0 API (American Petroleum Institute). The use of a fuel additive is permitted to
control white smoke.
(2) The pressure of the fuel supply at full load to the engine fuel inlet will be constant, and the pressure will not be more than 25 kPa (3.6 psi). The
temperature will be 30° ± 2°C (86.0° ± 3.6°F). The engine fuel inlet is located at the entrance for the fuel into the engine fuel system.
Note: If the fuel temperature does not exceed 32 °C (90 °F), there will be no noticeable loss in power. A loss in horsepower will be encountered if the
fuel temperature exceeds 32 °C (90 °F), due to decreased density of the fuel.
(3) The fuel supply and return lines will be vented to the atmosphere in a manner, which permits any gas in the fuel to be monitored and released. If there
is a detectable fuel leak in any metered fuel, the readings for the fuel rate will not be correct. If the performance test reaches the point of full load and
visible gas is being discharged from the fuel system, the test is considered invalid.
Natural Gas
All performance tests will be made with fuel conforming to dry processed natural gas that has a low heating value determined within ± 1%. The corrected
specific fuel consumption will be calculated by using this measured value.

22/6/2021 SIS 2.0
Cooling Water
1. Cooling water will be the following temperatures.
a. The outlet for the engine water is from 95 °C (203.0 °F) to 101 °C (213.8 °F).
b. The inlet for the separate circuit aftercooler is any specified temperature from 30° ± 3°C (86.0° ± 5.4°F) to 55° ± 3°C (131.0° ± 5.4°F).
Note: The simulation of an aftercooler may be used on the engines that were not previously tested with an aftercooler. See the individual engine
performance specification in TMI for the requirements on the inlet manifold temperature. The heat exchanger that is used for simulation has an air
pressure drop from 7 kPa (28.1 inch of H2O) to 14 kPa (56.3 inch of H2O). Any differential in the coolant pressure or temperature through the heat
exchanger is permitted.
2. The restriction of the flow of coolant in the water cooling system of the facility that is used for testing will be low enough so that the rise of the
temperature of the coolant between the inlet of the engine jacket water pump and the outlet of the water will be no more than 12 °C (53.6 °F). The
engine performance specifications for some engines with an abnormally high heat rejection may require a rise in temperature greater than 12 °C
(53.6 °F).
3. The flow rates for the separate circuit aftercooler will agree with the performance part number for the individual engine.
Note: ATAAC Pressure drop limit for factory has been changed from 5 to 14 kPa.
Exhaust Pressure
The test facility exhaust system will create a static pressure at the outlet of the engine exhaust of −2 kPa (−8.0 inch of H2O) to 2 kPa
(8.0373 inch of H2O) at a full load and speed.
NOTICE
For Tier IV engines, exhaust back pressure may need to be
applied during dyno testing per the 0K spec to prevent over-
speeding the turbo. Refer to Section "Tier IV Engine Testing".
Note: Other special tests may be specified for engine attachments such as brake savers, duplex oil filter controls, torque limiters, prelube systems,
special governors, and governor controls.
When mounted on the pedal and level, the target duty cycle should be as shown in Table 4. However, the possibility exists to deviate from these values
by adjusting the throttle configuration within ET.
All PWM sensors used should have a sinking driver with a frequency of 500Hz (± 50Hz). The sensor must give a valid output within 150 ms of the main
power being supplied to the sensor.

Oil Patch Kit should be used to monitor your engine oil for debris as the engine begins to break in. This allows the dyno technician to monitor the oil via
the patch kit vs removing and cutting oil filters to inspect for debris. The Oil Patch can also help identify cleanliness of a dealer rebuild by catching
particles that are present in the oil during engine operation.

Oil Supply should have a shut off valve and a return line. This allows the isolation of the coupling to remove the patch. Be sure that the oil supply is
coming from a pre-filter supply. The return is best routed into the crankcase. A modified valve cover or, for larger engines, a side cover has proven to
work well.

Adopting mini patch checks in the first few minutes is a preventative measure of early component wear. Early component wear will most often be gross
wear or foreign debris. Consider integration of the mini patch into the normal walk around and engine warm up checks during the dyno process.

(3) Check for air starters. Remember that electric starters are not tested. If the engine has air starters install proper adapters for plumbing and for air
hoses.
(4) Remove the appropriate block plugs to install the required sensors, thermocouples, adapters, connectors, and hoses.
(5) By using an overhead hoist, install the exhaust adapter. Ensure that the adapter is equipped with a functional type K thermocouple for temperature
readings for exhaust stacks.
(6) Install rubber baffling to the tube for blowby. This rubber baffling is required to build a slight positive pressure in the crankcase, which increases the
sensitivity of the test cell to piston seizures.
(7) Install a connector for pressure from blowby in the plug just above the nozzle for filling the oil.
(8) Install all required sensors, thermocouples, adapters, connectors, and hoses.
Note: For inlet manifold air temperatures, do not install the thermocouple in the extreme front or rear areas.
(9) If necessary install connectors for diesel fuel on the supply and return lines.
(10) Flush the shut off system for the air and install the electrical connection. The electrical connection is usually from the harness for the governor.
(11) Check for any special tests and install the required pressure connections, and thermocouples.
(12) If the engine is equipped with the prelube pump, prepare the engine for testing. For the engines that are equipped with air prelube pumps, install the
air lines that tie the pump back into the prelube system for the air from the pallet. This allows the computer to control the prelube of the air.
Note: Install the intake manifold temperature if the manifold temperature is requested or if the manifold temperature is needed for troubleshooting.
(2) Connect the 202-2301 Portable Contamination Instructional Kit to acquire an oil sample for the patch. The supply should connect at the oil cooler and
the return will go into the dipstick tube.
(3) Only for gas engines, refer to the test specification to determine if a throttle angle transducer is required. The latest specifications indicate differential
pressure across the throttle instead of the actual throttle angle.
Note: If the engine uses a Flowtech actuator, the throttle angle transducer is not used.
(4) Lower the exhaust stack for the cell over the adapter for the engine and clamp in place.
(6) Only for gas engines, install the timing adapter to the coil on cylinder number 1. Polarity is not important.
(8) Only for gas engines, remove any safety for the MAG ground to run systems. This is done to put the cell in control of shutting down the engine. If the
cell did not detect the missing spark, the gas would continue to flow. The gas would flow until the cell could detect zero Revolutions Per Minute (RPM).
Losing the spark could cause the gas to build up in the stack which can cause the gas to explode.
(9) Turn on the water supply to fill the Engine Jacket Water and Separate Circuit Aftercooler (SCAC). Listen and look for leaks as the engine is filling.
Stop the setup procedure and correct any leaks.
(11) If the engine is equipped with an air starter, connect the air supply.
(12) Fill the oiler for the air start with air tool oil.
(13) For quality inspection, check for the following criteria before testing and during testing.
Engine oil, water, fuel, exhaust, or air leaks. If a leak is discovered, stop and repair the leak.
Proper operation of the engine attachments (pumps, governors, starters, shutoffs, and gauges)
Note: Install the intake manifold temperature if the temperature is requested or needed for troubleshooting.
(2) Turn on the water to fill the EJW. Listen and look for leaks. Stop the setup procedure to repair all leaks.
(3) Position the exhaust stack for the cell and lower onto the engine.
(4) Check and/or fill the oil levels for the engine, the governor, and the hydromechanical shutoff.
(5) Connect the magnetic pickup wire to the governor. This step is only for engines with a mechanical unit injector.
(6) Connect the wire that activates the governor. This step is only for MUI engines.
Note: B series engines (Electronic Unit Injector (EUI)) do not require steps 5 and 6. These engines may require a connection for the timing calibration.
(8) If the engine is equipped with an air starter, connect the air supply.
(9) Fill the oiler for the air start with air tool oil.
(10) For quality inspection, check for the following criteria before testing and during testing.
Engine oil, water, fuel, exhaust, or air leaks. If a leak is discovered, stop and repair the leak.
Proper operation of engine attachments (pumps, governors, starters, shutoffs, and gauges).

Note: The 3512 machine engine will only require the use of ONE aftercooler assembly to provide adequate cooling. The C175 engines will require the
use of TWO aftercooler assemblies.
The hot charge air is the compressed air that is leaving the turbocharger traveling toward the aftercooler. The cold air charge is the cooled air from the
aftercooler returning to the intake manifold on the engine. The connections to the engine will vary between the different engine due to the different size
connectors on the intake manifolds.
All connections will use a hose bead type connector with standard hose clamps. The exception is the 20 Cylinder High Altitude hot charge air connector.
The 20 cylinder high altitude engines will use flare connections with V clamps. The 20 Cylinder High Altitude engines use the flare connections because
of the higher hot charge air pressure of the high altitude 20 cylinder engine.
Itis recommended to useinterchangeable connectors to the engine. Then, fabricating entirely different hot air tubes supplying the aftercoolers is not
required. Refer to Illustration 11. All the fabricated air lines should minimize the number of bends and turns and should maximize the radius of the bends
when possible. This flow will minimize the impact of air flow through the lines. The air systems can use steel tubes, flexible hose, or a combination.
Ensure the material that is used addresses the different charge air pressures and temperatures.
The system will use 154.4 mm (6 inch) steel tube. The steel tube is for the hot air lines from the turbocharger and for the cold air return lines from the
after-cooler. Different adapters will need to be constructed depending on the engine configuration you are testing.
Itis recommended to use the air lines from the machine where possible to minimize fabrication. Guidance for fabrication is provided. The actual length of
the tubing and the specific design must be addressed for installation at each dealership to best suite-specific room size and layout.

20 Cylinder High Altitude Hot Air Charge Flange
Dimensions that are shown are in millimeters
Note: The 3512 machine engine will only require the use of ONE aftercooler assembly to provide adequate cooling. The C175 engines will require the
use of TWO aftercooler assemblies.
The compressed air flows from the compressor through 154.4 mm (6 inch) steel pipe. The hot air travels to each of the aftercoolers through an elbow
that is bolted onto the aftercooler. The hot air is then cooled by traveling through the water-cooled aftercoolers and out through another elbow. The cooled
air then travels through a 154.4 mm (6 inch) steel pipe back to the engine where it enters the intake manifold.
The following Illustration shows the basic connection of the air lines and placement of the elbows and gaskets. The 16 Cylinder configuration is shown,
but the basic layout will remain the same for all engine sizes. Due to the various layout parameters that can be used, exact dimensions for the length of
the 154.4 mm (6 inch) steel pipe will vary. Remember to use the minimum number of bends when you are routing the 154.4 mm (6 inch) steel pipe.
A balance tube pipe will also need to be fabricated and installed between the two RETURN air lines. This will permit the normalization of air pressure
differences between the two aftercoolers that may be caused by fabrication and other factors.
The balance tube pipe should also be constructed of 154.4 mm (6 inch) steel pipe and should be placed between the two 154.4 mm (6 inch) steel pipes
that return the cooled air to the engine.
Note: Specific instructions on fabricating the engine connectors for each engine are shown later on in this document.

Drain valve for condensation
It is recommended that you install a drain valve in the bottom of the elbow for the cooled air that is leaving the aftercooler. This will allow you to drain any
condensation that develops in the elbow.
The cooler assembly consists of a 236-4256 Aftercooler Assembly between two 200-6543 Covers. The core of the aftercooler has a groove for the 172-
5635 O-Ring Seal. This groove is on the air INTAKE side of the aftercooler. You will have to construct TWO cooler assemblies for the C-175
Dynamometer.
Note: Failure to properlyflowthe hot air from the turbocharger willresult in a failed aftercooler core.
Illustration 19 g02126257
Area with the rubber seal
There is also a rubber sealed area that is at the ends of the cover on the same side as the groove for the O-ring seal. It is critical that the hot air from the
turbocharger enters the cooler on this side. Failure to properlyflowthe hot air from the turbocharger willresult in a failed aftercooler core. Once the
direction of proper air flow is determined, mark the direction on the outside of the aftercooler with an arrow that shows the proper air flow. This will aid in
proper assembly. You can also feel the aftercooler core through the opening in the covers for the rubber sealed area after the covers have been installed.
Remember that the side of the aftercooler core with the rubber sealed area is the INTAKE flow of hot air from the turbocharger.
Note: Failure to properlyflowthe hot air from the turbocharger willresult in a failed aftercooler core.

The back side of the aftercooler core does not have a groove for the O-ring seal. This groove can be machined into the face and then another 172-5635
O-Ring Seal can be installed. Using 1U-8846 Gasket Sealant is an option in place of the machined groove for the O-ring seal and provides good seal.
The 1U-8846 Gasket Sealant has been verified in testing and in actual use.
A 90 degree elbow will need to be fabricated for adapting to each of the bottom of the two aftercoolers. Use the following parts list and illustration for

Water lines connection ports
When you are mounting the aftercooler assemblies, make sure that you position the aftercoolers so that the water lines can be easily attached to the
water ports. This is especially true if you are mounting the aftercooler assemblies vertically.
Water Supply
The water connections to the aftercoolers use four elbows and four O-ring seals. These are standard Caterpillar parts and are listed in the following
table. One O-ring seal is used on each elbow. The elbows are bolted to the bottom of the aftercoolers, as shown. The water connectors should be
rotated as needed to accommodate your water line connections.
The aftercoolers should operate within a range of 62 kPa (9 psi) to 350 kPa (50 psi). The water supply used during testing had an input temperature of
approximately 30° C (86° F) and resulted in a needed flow of approximately 500 L (132 US gal) per minute.
The auxiliary water pump can be used for water flow as long as the required pressures are addressed. During testing, a Y adapter was used to supply
water to each cooler from the auxiliary water pump.
Each cooler was also fitted with a simple air purge system to purge any air from the top of the coolers as the coolers are being filled with water.

The 7C-7785 Housing and Regulator Group
The 797F and 793F machines have frame-mounted jacket water temperature control systems and are not with the engine when pulled from the vehicle.
When the engine is tested in the dynamometer room, jacket water temperature control must be addressed. One potential remedy is to utilize the 7C-
7785 Housing and Regulator Gp from 3600 family of engines. This stand alone housing and regulator group can be mounted on a fabricated stand or
mounted in conjunction with the ATAAC substitutes system, if the ataac system has been mounted on some movable fixture or cart. 4W-4011 Water
Temperature Regulator should be used in place of the 6I-4952 Water Temperature Regulator (1) listed within the group. The 4W-4011 Water
Temperature Regulator will address the 78° C (172.4° F) inlet temperature that is specified for the C175 engine. If the dynamometer room has internal
controls such as a closed loop system, it must address the 78° C (172.4° F) inlet temperature specification. A derate for high coolant temperature will
happen if the engine gets too hot. A derate occurs at 101° C (213.8° F), as measured at the sensor located on the outlet of the engine block. There is no
derate associated for low coolant temperature, however a warning will be flashed for low coolant temperature.

Engine Control
The following section details the information for connecting the Electronic Technician to the engine. Information is also given for testing the engine.
The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) Dynamometer Mode is designed to test the single C175 modules. This functionality requires at least ET
Version 3.0.
The ET Dynamometer mode will monitor the following engine readouts: engine speed, engine coolant temperature, engine load factor, engine oil
pressure, fuel temperature, fuel position, boost pressure and exhaust temperatures. ET Dynamometer mode allows the user to input the desired engine
speed. The dynamometer load must be controlled separately.
ET version 3.0 does not allow the Dynamometer mode and the data logger to run simultaneously. Numbers must be recorded in a separate log. The ET
Dynamometer mode is designed to test the out of chassis engines only. ET Dynamometer mode can override the derate mode that is caused by
missing sensors or other circumstances.
2. Turn on the fuel supply, the water supply, and the air valves to allow the engine systems to function.
Note: Turn on the test cell-mounted water pumps. Install a safety switch that will not allow the engine to start if the test cell-mounted water pumps
are operating incorrectly.
3. Start the ET software on the computer that is connected to the engine through Data Link.
4. Run a fuel injector test and set the injector trim files.
5. Prime the engine. Operate the fuel priming pump by overriding it in ET.
Check the sight gauge to ensure that the air has been purged from the jacket water system.

Ensure that water is coming out of the IMAT drain line which indicates that the air is purged from the system.
8. While ET is running, select "Service" and "Service Procedure" from the drop menu. Then select "Dynamometer Mode".
9. A warning will appear on the computer. Read the warning and then select "OK".
10. The "Dynamometer Mode Test" will appear on the screen. The screen appears identical for all engines that have Dynamometer Mode capability.
11. When you start the program, the "Desired Engine Speed" will default to the programmed "Low Idle" speed. Low idle for the C175 engine is 700
rpm.
12. While the desired engine speed is set at low idle, start the engine by using the engine starter. An air starter that is mounted on the dynamometer
can also be used to start the engine. The default low idle engine speed of 700 rpm may be overridden to start the engine.
13. After the engine is started, the ET Dynamometer Mode will control the operation of the engine.
14. Use the test procedure that is outlined in Table 18 to warm up the engine.
15. Walk around the engine to ensure that the fluid systems are not leaking and that the engine is operating properly.
16. To change the engine speed, select "Desired Engine RPM" in the description section at the bottom of the screen. Then select "Change". A screen
that allows you to enter the desired RPM override will appear. For example, if the engine was running the low idle of 700 rpm and the desired
speed was 1000 RPM, the test cell operator would select on "Desired Engine RPM". The test cell operator would then make the following
selections:
"Change".
Select "OK".
ET Dynamometer mode will adjust the fuel setting to increase the engine RPM to the desired value.
17. After you enter the desired engine RPM, adjust the dynamometer load by using the water valve or the dynamometer control system.
18. Selecting "Disabled Override" at any time will reset the engine to the ECM programmed idle speed of 700 RPM for the C175 engine.
Note: The Engine Rating Map Override option is used to select the desired power rating ( as defined in the test specification ).
19. Use the information in Table 18 and the ET to continue the Dynamometer test.
20. Take a Schedule Oil Sample (SOS) of the engine and wash off the engine while the engine is running.
21. Complete the test and return the engine to the low idle of 700 RPM. Shut off the fuel supply to stop the engine. This procedure cannot be
accomplished with ET. Exiting the program at any time will return the engine to low idle.
22. ET Logged Diagnostic Codes should be cleared from the ECM before you exit. View the logged diagnostic codes and clear the diagnostic
codes. Codes may be logged due to missing sensors. Codes may be logged because of troubleshooting work. The codes could cause a derate
when the engine is installed in the chassis.
Purge the fluid systems and disconnect all of the Dynamometer connections.

Refer to Table 8 for full horsepower and full torque ratings and speeds.
The following information describes how to find the default dyno test horsepower rating in TMI, and changing the dual horsepower rating (if available).
4. The top rating that is listed will be the default rating (Torque Converter Stall) and the second rating will be the Full Load rating.
5. Start Cat ET
9. Select "Enable".
10. To change HP to Full Load rating, select "Engine Rating Map Override"
12. Input a new value of "2" and click "OK". The engine should now test at the Full Load rating.
Also if an engine is equipped with a prelube pump, the complete starting motor system for the prelube pump will be checked. The checkout of the
system can be done before the engine test or after the engine test. It is not necessary for the checkout to be done in an engine test cell.
(2) Ensure that the oil filters are full of oil and do not fill the filters prior to installation.
Note: Refer to the latest Contamination Control Guidelines, PEBJ0002, "Cat Dealer Contamination Control" publications on contamination control.
(4) If the oil supply for the engine does not lubricate the auxiliary power take off, then an external oil supply must be provided.
(5) Check the engine oil level. Before the engine is cranked, the level of the oil pan must be within the range that is safe for starting the engine.
(6) To determine the performance of the engine at full load, the oil level must be between the "add" line and the "full" line. If the dipstick has been marked
for tilt operation, the level of the oil should be within the designated range. Dipsticks produced for tilt operation will show the oil level for an engine that is
properly filled with oil that is positioned horizontally in a test cell.
(7) Ensure that the engine is installed correctly and that the proper adapters are used to connect the engine to the dynamometer.
Note: The adapter for the driveline must be concentric with the flywheel within 0.25 mm (0.01 inch) of Total Indicator Reading (TIR).
(8) Check the installation of all required diagnostic connections and any special connections for instrumentation (damper timing marker, cylinder
pressure transducer, etc.)
(9) Verify that the log for the engine is current. If the log is not current, the log should be updated.
(2) Ensure that the thermocouples are installed correctly and that all the connections are tight.

Pre-Lubrication
For engine components that require pre-lubrication as determined by engineering, perform before cranking. The pre-lubrication shall be accomplished
by pressurizing the lubrication system before cranking. If an engine is equipped with a pre-lube pump, the complete pre-lube pump-starting motor
system shall be checked. Checkout of the system can be done either before or after engine test and does not need to be done in an engine test cell.
Before the engine is cranked, the oil pan fill level should be within the range designated on the production dipstick or the specified dipstick as safe for
starting the engine.
The full load performance of the engine shall be determined with the correct oil pan fill level.
Record the following throughout the test (for use in calculating correction factors and monitoring facility health):
Warm Up
Warm up of an engine is defined as conditioning of an engine to obtain repeatable engine performance and to purge air from the liquid handling
systems of the engine. This latter function is especially important for engines quipped with an NRS Cooler. The engine speed control shall not be
“pumped during any portion of this performance test. Pumping is the process of rapidly and alternately increasing and decreasing the engine speed
control and/or engine speed.”
Note: For engines equipped with an NRS Cooler, sufficient venting of the coolant system shall be installed so that no air is trapped in the NRS Cooler.
This typically entails venting both the engine side and radiator side of the thermostat. Some configurations may also need a dedicated vent line from the
NRS cooler.
1. Crank at 100-700 RPM with the engine speed control positioned to provide maximum fuel delivery. Oil pressure of 40 kPa minimum shall be
obtained within 0.5 minutes or cranking shall be stopped. Cranking should be discontinued if engine has not started within 2 minutes. After the
engine starts, engine speed shall be targeted to an elevated speed (typically low idle +100 RPM or cranking speed +100 RPM) at zero load to
build oil pressure. A minimum oil pressure of 40 kPa shall be obtained within 3 seconds after the engine starts or the engine shall be stopped.
The following warmup phases (refer to Step 2 and 3) define a 'normal' on-highway warmup cycle, different applications can ADD additional time or
points based on that application's specific needs. The intent of the warmup phases is to get the engine up to operating temperature as quickly as
possible without damaging green engine.
Note: Observe and listen to the engine and attachments for any unusual vibration or sounds.
75% rated speed ± 20 RPM (not less than low idle) [See Note below]
https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/%257B%2522title%2522%253A%2522Dynamometer%2520Testing%2520of%2520Caterpillar%2520Engines%2520%257B0781%252C%25201000%252C%25201052%252C%25201… 36/108
22/6/2021 SIS 2.0
3. Second Warmup - 1-minute ±0.2 minute. Due to deficient plant cooling system air venting ability some test facilities may require more time to
purge air from the system so that additional load will not cause overheating. This is a function of the facility and, if required, the additional time
should be applied to all engines run in that facility. Maximum time should not exceed that required for the thermostats to reach opening
temperature.
75% rated torque ± 5% rated torque (some procedures may specify torque magnitude).
Note: For applications with the NRS system, the NRS test should occur during one of the two last warmup stages before full load, contingent on
thermostat opening. Refer to Step 6.
Rated Torque +3%, - 11% (some procedures may specify torque magnitude)
Additional warmup phases may be implemented for specific applications or larger engines where more time is needed to achieve thermal
stability.
5. Governor Setting Point (Mechanical Engines) - 0.25-minute ±0.1 minute governor setting speed and governor setting torque per the individual
engine test specification. (e.g., 0T, 2T, 0K, seven-digit, etc.)
At the governor setting point, the engine speed control shall be at the maximum speed position and the torque shall be as specified in the engine
test specification.
The governor control, which positions the over-run curve, shall not be adjusted after completing the governor setting point. If the high idle speed is
not correct when checked at the stage described in Step 4, the governor controls shall not be adjusted. Only repairing and retesting the engine can
correct the high idle speed. Data shall not be taken until the water temperature meets the minimum water temperature at rated (from the
specification).
Note: For mechanical engines, the torque applied to mechanical governor control shafts to maintain maximum engine speed shall be 8 Nm to 12
Nm (5.5 Nm to 9.5 Nm for Woodward 3161 governor). Proper control of torque on the governor control shaft is required for consistent governor
setting points and high idle speeds. For electronic engines, either a throttle input to the ECM or speed override control through the ECM can be
used (the same applies to PEEC and the different versions of fully electronic engines).
6. Full Load - 4 minutes ±0.2 minutes or stabilization: Full load speed ±10 RPM.
Engine speed control shall be within specification at the maximum speed position.
Engines are to be considered stabilized after achieving the following maximum variation per 2 minute period while running continuously at full load
RPM:
For systems using jacket outlet water control: Jacket water pump in 3 DEG C
For systems using jacket inlet water control: Jacket water pump out 3 DEG C
For systems using SCAC inlet water control: SCAC inlet 3 DEG C.
For All Engines
Fuel Rate - 1%
For engines equipped with a separate circuit aftercooler, the water inlet temperature shall be within specification before recording full load data.
7. Full Load Check - With the engine at the full load point and stabilized as outlined in Step 6. Calculate and/or record in Table 19.

Power determined in Step 7 minus power determined in Step 1 is the power of the cylinder, which was cut out. Calculate and record the
percent loss by dividing the power of the cylinder by the power determined in Step 7 .
2. Cylinder Cut-Out Check – Operator/ECM Controlled - If the engine is equipped to permit cut-out of individual cylinders and one of the following
conditions are seen: CSFC or corrected power is outside the specification limits.
Torque Check
0.25-minute ±0.1 minute. This is an example time for on-highway truck engines. For other applications, this is the minimum nominal time. The actual time
may be more.
1. Increase the dynamometer load until the engine lugs to the speed specified for torque check. Measurements shall be taken within 3 minutes after
lugging from full load. Engine speed and load shall be stabilized for this reading. Stabilization is determined by the speed remaining within
specification for a minimum of 15 seconds.
Note: For applications that operate at a single speed (generator sets, marine auxiliary), the torque check phase may be omitted due to the single
speed mode of operation of this application. This will be indicated by inclusion of a flag in the test specification OMIT TORQ. The reset calculation
will be based only on the measurements taken at the rated point.
Note: Test Specification Flags are fields in the spec that signal the test cell to perform a certain operation when an engine of that spec is being
tested. Flags, as with all parameter fields, are tied to a serial number break (effective serial number) of a particular test spec and will only be
implemented when an engine with a serial number greater than or equal to that particular break is in the cell. These flags are added by using the
appropriate testing database application to modify the test specification.

Calculate and/or record if applicable.
Note: If another test after reset confirmation is desired (indicated by a spec flag, the test should be performed after torque check.
2. Response Check - If required by the individual test specification. (Response check is for mechanical engines only).

Remove the dynamometer load as rapidly as possible until the dynamometer is operating with a maximum of 3% of rated torque. Opening the
dynamometer field circuit and simultaneously closing the water supply valve with a solenoid is adequate.
Adjust the engine speed control if necessary to maintain the specified response check idle speed. The engine should be brought to the response
check idle speed with the fuel system at shutoff. The engine speed control does not need to be in the minimum position. At the specified response
check idle time after initiating load removal, increase the setting of the engine speed control, if it has been reduced, as rapidly as possible (1
second maximum) to the maximum speed setting and adjust the dynamometer load as required to maintain response check speed. Response
time is the time from the start of change in engine speed until the specified torque is obtained.
Record
3. Manual Air/Fuel Control Check - In test facilities in which the diesel engine full load check as defined in Step 7 is not computerized (all current
facilities are), an engine test to check that the air/fuel control setting is correct is required. With the engine running at high idle and with the boost
sensing line disconnected, lug the engine to rated speed. Measurement of the air/fuel control setting is not required.
Record
If the high idle speed is not correct, it can be corrected only by repairing and retesting the engine.
5. Low Idle Point- 0.10 minute, maximum dynamometer load equals 3% of rated torque.
For mechanical engines, set the low idle speed within 5 minutes of obtaining full load data. Unless oil temperature is maintained at full load
temperature by a special test conducted immediately before the low idle point.
Record
During the low idle speed check, the engine speed shall not vary more than ±10 RPM.
NOTICE
Do not leave out the NRS coolant diverters after testing or
servicing. Failure to replace coolant diverters in C9.3 Tier 4
engines can lead to NRS failure and engine damage.

A NOx Reduction System Test is required for engines with NOx Reduction System (NRS). The NRS Test should occur during one of the final warmup
stages. It is triggered in computerized test cells by the 'Tier 4' flag.
The NRS end of line test will not start until certain conditions are met and will abort if certain Diagnostic Trouble Codes are found in the ECM. The
following list of trouble codes shall not be active for the test to proceed:
Note: For engines equipped with an NRS Cooler, sufficient venting of the coolant system shall be installed so that no air is trapped in the NRS Cooler.
This typically entails venting both the engine side and radiator side of the thermostat. Some configurations may also need a dedicated vent line from the
NRS cooler.
Section one is to verify that the NRS valve is properly functioning and not stuck in the fully open or fully closed positions. The engine is put into NRS
test mode by the engine test cell computer to turn off any diagnostics that would become active while manipulating the NRS and turbo balance
valve (TBV) positions. In the first warmup stage of the production hot test, the engine test cell computer will command the NRS valve to toggle from
the fully open to fully closed positions for up to 8 cycles or 30 seconds. It then sets the NRS and turbo balance valve to the correct positions for the
start of the second part of the test.
Section two is a functional test to ensure that the NRS performs as specified by engineering. Section two starts once the engine goes into second
warmup and the test cell computer sets the engine speed and load appropriate for the engine being tested. The engine speed and load is
developed by Engineering, dependent on the bore size and hardware set of the engine, and set in the test procedure. The test cell computer then
commands the NRS system through five test points as follows:
Test Point 1 - NRS valve fully closed (0%) and TBV open (off). The test cell computer will wait 5 seconds from the time the speed and load are set
correctly and the step response mode is enabled in the engine ECM. The ECM then takes a 5 second average recording of NRS mass air flow, NRS
delta pressure, and NRS absolute pressure from the engine ECM.
Test Point 2 - NRS valve fully open (100%) and TBV open (off). The engine ECM will calculate the NRS valve closed to open response time and pass
the value to the test cell computer. The ECM waits 5 seconds to stabilize and then takes a 5 second average recording of NRS mass air flow, NRS delta
pressure, and NRS absolute pressure from the engine ECM.
Test Point 3 - NRS valve fully open (100%) and TBV closed (on). The test cell computer waits 5 seconds to stabilize and then takes a 5 second
average recording of NRS mass air flow, NRS delta pressure, and NRS absolute pressure from the engine ECM.
Test Point 4 - NRS valve fully open (100%) and TBV open (off). The test cell computer waits 5 seconds to stabilize and then takes a 5 second average
recording of NRS mass air flow, NRS delta pressure, and NRS absolute pressure from the engine ECM.
Test Point 5 - NRS valve fully closed (0%) and TBV open (off). As the NRS valve is moved from fully open to fully closed, the engine ECM will calculate
the open to closed valve response time. The test cell computer waits 5 seconds to stabilize and then takes a 5 second average recording of NRS mass
air flow, NRS delta pressure, and NRS absolute pressure from the engine ECM. The engine ECM then passes the calculated response time to the test
cell computer.

Once the five steps are complete, the test cell will first release control of the TBV. It then will set the NRS valve to completely open (100%) before
releasing control back to the engine ECM. The engine test cell computer will then wait 5 seconds to take the engine out of NRS test mode
The following data is collected as pass/fail criteria as part of the production test:
Note: How pass/fail criteria are set: First attempt by mechatronics for NPI pilot builds. Once in full production, refine the nominals and tolerances with
factory averages.
Note: Tee the cooler vent line with the engine vent line. The vent line from the EGR cooler (C9 & C13 engines only) needs to be continuously flowing, no
pep cock type valves allowed. The C15 and Vee engine coolers self-vent in the engine AR and therefore do not need a dedicated vent line. The RAD
side of the engine (stat out) should be vented as well.
a. Vent both engine and cell sides of thermostat housing, or corresponding coolant lines
2. Do not turn on EGR until all trapped air has been purged from the system
a. Ideally no EGR gas flow until after thermostats open during testing

2. Follow the correct Operation and Maintenance Manual, for proper coolant filling, venting, and initial start-up.
a. Maintain and monitor water pump inlet temperature not to exceed 90 deg C.
Monitor pump inlet pressure during the test (no lower than 20 kPa gage pressure)
d. Record temperature and pressure data during the test and retain.

22/6/2021 SIS 2.0
Note: The other important item for dealer testing is to allow enough warmup time before applying load to the engine. The engine should warmup until the
thermostat cracks open, to allow any remaining air to settle out of the system.
Functionality Tests
It may be necessary to run functionality tests with the standard performance test defined in this document, to test additional engine systems. Functionality
tests can be inserted after the high idle check or at other phases of the test per agreement with Engineering. This will provide a test sequence, which will
maintain the normal engine operating temperature for the torque check and the response check. If functionality tests are inserted into the test sequence,
judgment should be exercised to be certain that normal operating temperatures are maintained for the high idle check and the low idle point. These
functionality tests can be enabled by setting different flags or parameters in the test spec.
1. Refer to Section "Appendix J: CRS Test Procedure" (Not Currently In Use) for the CRS test.
2. Engine Brake Test (9.3 Engines Only) - This test shall be performed on all C9.3 application equipped with a Cat Constant Lift Brake.
Associated test specs shall have the BRKSVR flag associated with them. The test sequence is composed of 3 steps:
Lube Oil Rail Air Purge - While maintaining the throttle command at 100% and zero load on the dynamometer, command the brake valve to
open. When the dynamometer speed feedback reaches 1400 RPM, command the brake valve to close and let the engine recover to high idle
speed. Repeat two more times for a total of three valve cycles.
Brake Functional Test 1 - With the engine steady at high idle and zero load (all water removed from eddy current dynamometers), command the
ECM to go to low idle. The test cell shall record the time from when the command is issued to when the speed feedback is 1500 RPM. This time is
the baseline time. Return the engine to steady state at high idle and zero load.
Brake Functional Test 2 - With the engine steady at high idle and zero load (all water removed from eddy current dynamometers), maintain
100% throttle command and command the brake valve to open. The test cell shall record the time from when the command is issued to when the
speed feedback is 1500 RPM. This time is the brake engaged time. Return the engine to steady state at high idle and no load.
Pass/Fail Analysis - Calculate the difference in time between the baseline measurement and the brake engaged measurement. A positive value
greater than or equal to the spec nominal value empirically derived at the test facility indicates that the brake is set properly and functioning
correctly. Any value less than the nominal value (including negative values) is a failed test and requires a repair and retest completed.

3. Dynamic Gas Blending - This functionality test will be initiated by the Fuel System Type Code of the spec being set to DGB.
An additional lug test while substituting gas may also be performed. If using a CNG or LNG skid for gas supply, a lug test may take up to 4
additional hours per engine at the gas fuel consumption rates listed in Table 21.
Note: Remove 234-5013 Inlet Manifold Air Temperature (IMAT) Sensor before lifting. Not doing so could result in lifting bail damaging sensor.
Refer to Illustration 50 for details on wiring the engine test and flash stand harness for connection to the engine. The facility gas supply must be
routed to the back of the DGB engine rear fuel train to connect to Adapter 533-0071 with a STOR port size of 1 5/16-12. Use steel reinforced hose
to mate the gas supply line to this port.
For Large Mining Truck DGB engines, it is required to enable gas substitution hot test mode in order to bypass the off-engine LNG tank sensors
and truck methane detection system that are not present in the engine kit.
To enable gas substitution hot test mode, the Primary Engine ECM pin J1:47 needs to be grounded. By grounding that pin at the ECM, the
software will suppress the missing sensors and allow the engine to enter gas blending mode when all other operating conditions are met. One
option can be to route the J1:47 and ground wires into the dyno test console room and enable the hot test mode with a simple switch. Alternatively,
https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/%257B%2522title%2522%253A%2522Dynamometer%2520Testing%2520of%2520Caterpillar%2520Engines%2520%257B0781%252C%25201000%252C%25201052%252C%25201… 43/108

the pin may be grounded at the ECM, and then the operator can utilize Cat ET for Enabling or Disabling the Gas Substitution System Status for
selection when to enter gas substitution mode. Note: after successful hot test, this pin will need to be removed.
The other engine operating conditions for gas enablement are as follows (on-engine sensors):
Engine speed
Engine load
Exhaust temperature
Turbo speed

Warm up of an engine is defined as conditioning of an engine to obtain repeatable engine performance and to purge air from the liquid handling
systems of the engine. The engine speed control shall not be "pumped" during any portion of this performance test. Pumping is the process of rapidly
and alternately increasing and decreasing the engine speed control system and/or engine speed.
Note: Observe and listen to the engine and attachments during warmup for any unusual vibration or sounds.
1. Starting Procedure - Crank at 200-600 RPM (3600 at 100-200 RPM). Minimum oil pressure of 40 kPa shall be obtained within 0.5 minutes or
cranking shall be stopped. Cranking shall continue 0.25 minutes after obtaining 40 kPa before starting engine. Cranking should be discontinued if
engine has not started within 2 minutes. (For G3600 minimum prelube oil pressure shall be met before cranking can begin.)
Note: For engines equipped with electronically configurable ignition timing, set the preliminary ignition timing to the value specified in the engine
performance specification.
2. First Point (Low Idle Speed) - 1 minute, Run at zero torque - maximum of 3% of test torque.
For engines equipped with mechanical governor, with the throttle plate completely closed, adjust the carburetor throttle stop screw until the
screw touches the stop lever. The throttle plate should not be held open any amount by the stop screw.
For engines that require differential fuel pressure settings, set the preliminary differential fuel pressure to the nominal value specified for high
idle in the engine performance specification. Differential fuel pressure is the static gas pressure maintained to the carburetor, relative to the
static component of the carburetor inlet total pressure.
For engines equipped with Woodward governors operate at the specified speed or at the lowest attainable speed if the specified speed
cannot be attained. If the governor is equipped with a synchronizing motor, check for engine speed increase and decrease when the
appropriate wires from the motor are energized.
3. Second Point (High Idle Speed) - 5 minutes, Run at zero torque - maximum of 3% of test torque.
For engines equipped with mechanically configurable ignition timing, set the ignition timing to the value specified for full load in the engine
test specification.
For engines that require differential fuel pressure settings, confirm that the differential fuel pressure is set to the value specified for high idle
in the engine test specification.
For engines equipped with carburetors: If the excess oxygen in the engine performance specification for full load is greater than 4%, set the
preliminary excess oxygen 1.0% less than the value specified for full load.
If the excess oxygen is 4% or less, set the preliminary excess oxygen to the value specified in the engine performance specification for full
load.
5. Fourth Point - 3 minutes ± 0.2 minute (2nd Break-In), Run as defined in test procedure.
6. Fifth Point
For G3500 engines, apply load appropriately to achieve aftercooler and Jacket Water temperatures defined in engine test specification.
For G3600 engines, apply 75% load and tune needle valves.
NTT = (Corr Full Load Power (kW) * 60000 (Nm/kW.min)) / (RPM * 2pi * Total Correction Factor)
At the full load test point, the engine speed control shall be at the maximum speed position.
Note: For mechanical engines, the torque applied to mechanical governor control shafts to maintain maximum engine speed shall be 8 Nm to 12
Nm (5.5 Nm to 9.5 Nm for Woodward 3161 governor). Proper control of torque on the governor control shaft is required for consistent governor
setting points and high idle speeds. For electronic engines, either a throttle input to the ECM or speed override control through the ECM can be
used (also applicable to PEEC and the different versions of fully electronic engines).

Minimum oil pressure of 40 kPa (5.8 psi) will be obtained within 3 seconds after the engine starts, or the engine must be stopped.
Note: The engine speed will not be increased above 75% rated speed + 20 or low idle speed if the low idle speed is greater than 75% of the
rated speed.
If the Full Load Brake Mean Effective Pressure is 1750 kPa (253.8 psi) or more, the rated torque is the following.
At the setting point of the governor, the engine speed control will be at the position for the maximum speed (Engine Speed Control of the General
Instructions). The torque is specified in the Engine Test Specifications.
The governor control which positions the overrun curve will not be adjusted after completing the setting point of the governor. If the high idle speed
is not correct at the High Idle Check in the Performance Check of this schedule, the governor controls will not be adjusted. Only repairing and
retesting the engine can correct the high idle speed.

At the specified response, check the idle time after initiating the removal of the load, and maintain the speed from checking the response by
adjusting the dynamometer load. As rapidly as possible increase the setting of the engine speed control with a 1 second maximum to the
maximum speed setting. Response time is the time from the start of change in engine speed until the specified torque is obtained. Record
the following information.
An engine test is required in test facilities that do not have a computerized diesel engine Full Load Check to check that the settings for the
air and fuel control are correct. Run the engine until the engine reaches the rated top speed. This should be done while the engine is running
at high idle and the line for sensing the boost is disconnected. The measurement of the settings for the air control and settings for the fuel
control are not required. Record the following information.
Observed Torque
With some types of dynamometers, the load cannot be lowered to this level. If the load can be lowered to 10% of the rated torque, it is
acceptable to create a straight line from the setting point of the governor through the lowest attainable torque to zero torque to obtain a high
idle value. Maintaining a load on the engine for stabilizing the high idle speed is not an acceptable process.
During the check at high speed, the engine speed will not vary more than the following.
Table 26
Table 27
If the high idle speed is not correct, only repairing and retesting the engine can correct the idle speed.
During checking of the low idle speed, the engine speed will not vary more than ±10 RPM.
Note: It may be necessary to run special tests with the standard performance tests that are defined in this bulletin. Special tests can be inserted
after the high idle check. This will provide a test sequence, which will maintain the normal operating temperature for checking the torque and
checking the response. If special tests are inserted into the test sequence, judgment should be used to be certain that normal operating
temperatures are maintained for the low idle check and the low idle point.
3. Increase the engine speed to high idle (position of maximum engine speed control).

Fuel Pressure
The fuel for the engine that is coming in to the gas pressure regulator will be supplied at the pressures that are shown in the individual engine
performance specifications.
Throttle Position
Ensure that the throttle plate can be opened to the maximum position. Do not adjust the linkage so that the throttle plate will not close completely to
obtain the maximum position.

One (1) is the value that is assigned to the mark that is nearest to the "L" (Lean) on the scale.
Five (5) is the value that is assigned to the mark that is nearest to the "R" (Rich) on the scale.
2. For engines that have a mixture control that is controlled by a screw, the setting of the mixture control is the number of turns of the screw that are
from the maximum clockwise position.
Warm Up
The warmup is conditioning the engine to create repeatable performance of the engine and to purge air from the liquid handling systems of the engine.
The speed control of the engine will not be "pumped" during any portion of this test of performance. Pumping is the process that consists of rapidly
increasing and decreasing the speed control of the engine and/or the speed of the engine.
1. Starting Procedure
Crank the engine at 200 RPM to 600 RPM. (Crank the 3600 series at 100 RPM to 200 RPM.) A minimum oil pressure of 40 kPa will be obtained
within 0.5 minutes or the cranking will be stopped. The cranking will continue for 0.25 minutes after obtaining an oil pressure reading of 40 kPa
before the engine is started. Cranking should be stopped if the engine does not start within 2 minutes.
Set the preliminary timing for the ignition to the value that is specified in the specifications for engine performance.

If the specifications for the engine test specify a high idle speed that is greater than the speed at full load (a non-isochronous overrun curve), the
torque value can be increased or decreased with the adjustment that controls the position of the overrun curve.
The nominal mixture control settings are acceptable if the excess oxygen, the corrected specific fuel consumption, the test speed, the test torque,
the inlet manifold pressure, and the outlet pressure of the compressor are within the limits that are specified in the engine test specifications.
Ifthe excess oxygen, the corrected specific fuel consumption, the test speed, the torque value, the inlet manifold pressure, and the outlet pressure
of the compressor cannot be obtained simultaneously, the control for the mixture and the wastegate will be reset to bring these characteristics
within the specifications.

NOTICE
Testing a Tier IV engine without simulating the back-pressure
created by tier 4 aftertreatment systems can cause turbo
overspeed and incorrect test data.
Recognizing which engines need to control exhaust back pressure and ATAAC
pressure drop.
Not all engines need to have restricted airflow control to simulate back-pressure created by aftertreatment systems. Only certain tier IV engines need to
have this additional requirement for dyno testing.
Obtain the test specifications for the engine being tested from TMI. The information for ATAAC and Exhaust pressures are in the final three lines of data
(Illustration 56). If those fields do not contain data, then the engine test does not need to address ATAAC and Exhaust pressures (Illustration 57).
Illustration 56 g03698609
TMI Dyno Specifications. The arrows indicate that this engine needs the additional requirements in Section "Additional Back Pressure Requirements for Tier IV Engines".
Illustration 57 g03698628
TMI Dyno Specifications. No data in the indicated line items mean that the engine does NOT require any additional Back Pressure Requirements.

Table 32
(1)
Percent values shown for Tolerances, Ceilings, and Floors are percent of nominal specification. Magnitude values shown for Tolerances, Ceilings, and Floors are added to the
(2) nominal. See Table 32 for examples of the results of ceiling/floor calculation routines employed in the spec database.
Ceiling Values, Floor Values, tolerances on Corrected Full Load Power, and tolerances on Corrected Torque are numbers calculated from the nominal values shown on individual
specification part numbers (e.g., 0T, 0K, seven digit, etc.). Refer to the individual Specific Engine Test Specification for variations due to customer driven requirements and factory
(3) ability to hold these requirements.
(4) A rating-dependent parameter, where the nominal value is specified in the Performance Specification Request (PSR) or a result of the rating development.
The Governor Setting Point (mechanical engines) is not on the knee of the torque curve. The setting point is above the intersection point of the two curves (Somewhere between
(5) 20 and 40 RPM less than the governor setting speed).
CSFC and NRS Parameter Tolerances, Ceiling, and Floor Values are typically factory values. Refer to the specific engine test specification for variations due to customer driven
(6) requirements and factory ability to hold these requirements.
The Boost Value as normally measured on an engine is a function of power. The value of boost used for acceptance or non-acceptance of engine performance shall be the
observed boost value adjusted in accordance with equations of the following form: Adjusted Boost = Observed Boost - Boost Constant * (Corr Full Load Power - Specified Power) *
100 / Specified Power Note C (Cont): The Boost Constant equals the change in boost (in kPa) per 1% deviation from specified power. Power at the full load point and torque at the
torque check point can be used interchangeably in equation above. The Boost Constant will be supplied by the Engineering Department, if different than what is listed on
(7) Parameter Line Number 68 in the table above. Currently adjusted boost is reported in both the as-tested and reset results.
Historically torque check speed should have equaled 2/3 rated speed, rounded up to the nearest 100 RPM unless otherwise specified by Performance Engineer. For all other
modern electronic engines, rated and torque check speed is determined by engineering based on application requirements and test stability.

Test Conditions
This test is performed under conditions that do not have load on the engine.
The supply air pressure that is required for this procedure must be maintained between a minimum of 448.2 kPa (65 psi) and a maximum of 620.5 kPa
(90 psi).
An air pressure regulator is required to control the air pressure that is supplied to the air actuator. The pressure gauge should have a range from 0 kPa
(0 psi) to 689.5 kPa (100 psi) and be accurate up to 3%.
Test Procedure
1. Verify that the movement of the actuator begins at a gauge pressure of 68.9476 ± 13.7895 kPa (10 ± 2 psi). It may be necessary to adjust the
preload for the spring on the actuator. The procedure is outlined in the section that is called Setting the Preload on the Spring for the Air Actuator.
2. Adjust the linkage for the governor to achieve low idle with a gauge pressure for the actuator of 0 kPa (0 psi) to 68.9 kPa (10 psi). This procedure
is outlined in the section that is called Setting the Stop Position for the Low Idle on the Actuator.
3. Set the high idle stops. This procedure is outlined in the section that is called Setting the High Idle Position for the Actuator.
4. Measure the information and record the information that is requested on the data sheet.
1. Install an air pressure gauge in the line at a convenient point between the regulator for the air supply and the actuator.
2. Slowly increase the air supply. The plunger should start to move when the air pressure gauge registers a reading of 68.9 ± 13.8 kPa (10 ± 2 psi).
a. The preload must be increased if the plunger moves at a pressure that is less than 68.9 kPa (10 psi).
b. The preload must be decreased if the plunger moves at a pressure that is greater than 68.9 kPa (10 psi).
3. The preload is changed by reversing the set screw far enough to permit the retainer nut to turn.
a. Turn the retainer nut clockwise to increase the load of the spring.
4. Once a pressure for the preload of 68.9 ± 13.8 kPa (10 ± 2 psi) has been obtained, tighten the setscrew to lock the retainer nut in place.
2. Set the hand control lever for the engine governor to low idle.
3. Disconnect the rod linkage from the governor lever by removing the pin.
https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/%257B%2522title%2522%253A%2522Dynamometer%2520Testing%2520of%2520Caterpillar%2520Engines%2520%257B0781%252C%25201000%252C%25201052%252C%25201… 97/108
22/6/2021 SIS 2.0
5. Place the hand control lever for the governor in the "remote" position. Ensure that the lever is against the low idle stop in the engine governor.
6. Connect the rod linkage to the proper hole in the governor lever. Check the low idle speed of the engine. If the low idle speed is incorrect, the rod
linkage can be adjusted to give the correct low idle. The rod linkage can also be adjusted to ensure that the rod is seated on the rod spring.
Perform the following procedure to make the adjustment.
a. Adjust the governor lever to the proper position on the serrated governor control shaft.
b. Remove the pin from the lever and adjust the length by loosening the locknuts and turning the yokes on the rod linkage.
7. After the pin is inserted in the governor lever, increase the air pressure to a partial throttle position. Then return the air pressure to a low idle
position. Check the low idle RPM of the engine. The operation is repeated when the check shows a reading that is not the low idle RPM of the
engine. The operation must also be repeated if the rod is not seated on the rod spring.
1. Do the following steps while the engine is running and the engine is warm. Remove the high idle locking screws for the actuator. Back out the high
idle stop screws for the governor.
2. Set the hand control lever for the governor in the remote position and increase the air pressure for the actuator slowly until the engine reaches the
high idle RPM. Turn the two high idle stop screws for the actuator clockwise until the screws have contact with the plunger for the actuator. Do not
turn the screw beyond the point of contact.
3. Tighten the two locking screws for the actuator to prevent the stop screws from backing out during operation.
4. Return the air regulator for the actuator to the low idle position ( 68.9 kPa (10 psi)) and move the hand control lever on the governor to the full open
position.
5. When the engine is operated manually by the hand control lever on the governor, turn the high idle screw that is in the engine governor in the
counterclockwise direction until the high idle is increased approximately 10 RPM above the specified high idle RPM. This will prevent damage to
the governor. Damage is prevented by ensuring that high idle is controlled by the high idle screws on the actuator. The high idle should not be
controlled by the high idle stop screws of the actuator.
6. Make any corrective adjustment that is necessary on the governor's high idle screw to maintain the necessary 10 RPM high idle speed differential
that is between the governor and the high idle settings of the air actuator.
Note: Both of the high idle stop screws on the actuator must be turned in the same distance and in the same direction. This is necessary because the
plunger must contact both screws at the same time.

Appendix H (Glossary)
A/F Control Dynamic Setting - The dynamic setting of a device on the engine that limits the amount of fuel that is injected per stroke as a function of
the boost
Aftercooler - A heat exchanger that is inserted into the induction system of an engine after any device is used to compress the combustion air.
Analog - A continuous signal of performance that represents the value of a characteristic of engine performance
Blowby - Blowby is combustion gas that leaks into the engine crankcase. The leakage is normally leakage from the combustion chamber past the
piston rings or through the valve guides. Specific blowby is calculated by dividing the volume of blowby that is at atmospheric pressure by corrected
power of the engine.
Boost - The gauge pressure is measured in the inlet manifold of a diesel engine. Adjusted boost is the calculated value of boost that would exist if an
engine was running at nominal power. Boost is not equal to inlet manifold pressure.
Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) - BSFC is a rate of fuel consumption. The BSFC states the ability of the engine to convert the energy in
diesel fuel to engine horsepower. BSFC is measured in the units “pounds of fuel consumed each hour to produce one brake horsepower”. As the value
of the BSFC increases, the efficiency of the engine decreases. As the efficiency of the engine decreases, the fuel that is required per hour increases.
Each model of engine has a unique BSFC, which is determined on a test stand.
Ceiling - The maximum rise for the high limit of an engine performance specification
Compressor Outlet Pressure - The gauge pressure of the combustion air at the turbocharger compressor outlet for spark ignited engines.
Correction Factor - The number that is used to find the value of the characteristic for engine performance under different operating conditions
Cranking - Rotating an engine with a source of power that is external to the engine
Cyclic - Variation in the performance characteristics which vary as the engine runs. This is especially for those characteristics which vary in a repetitive
fashion.
Delta-T - The rise in temperature of the engine coolant from the inlet of the jacket water pump to the outlet for the engine coolant.
Density (Fuel) - Density for fuel is the mass of fuel per unit volume. The units of density that are used in this publication are degrees American
Petroleum Institute (API) at 15.6 °C (60 °F).
Fuel Pressure Differential - The gas pressure that is supplied to the carburetor on a spark ignited engine minus the pressure of the carburetor inlet
Digital - A numeric value that represents the value of a characteristic for engine performance
Displacement - The area of a piston multiplied by the length of stroke times the number of cylinders.
Droop - Droop is the decrease from no load speed to full load speed when full load is applied to a generator set. Droop is expressed as a percentage
of the full load speed.
Ebullient Cooled Engine - An engine cooled by boiling water. The cooling is accomplished by turning water into steam. The latent heat of evaporation
that is absorbed in this process cools the engine.
Engine Fuel Consumption - The value that is found by multiplying the corresponding BSFC by the horsepower and then dividing the result by 7.076
(the weight in pounds per gallon of standard fuel)
Fuel consumption in pounds per hour is the weight of standard fuel that is burned by the engine per hour under standard conditions to produce rated
horsepower.
Excess Oxygen - Excess Oxygen is the amount of free oxygen in the products of combustion. Excess Oxygen may be expressed as a percentage of
either volume or mass.
Floor - The Floor is the minimum that is allowed for the low limit of an engine performance specification to fall.
Flywheel Brake Horsepower(BHP) - This is the actual horsepower that is available at the flywheel. The measurements are taken while the engine is
stripped of the accessory equipment and while the alternator and the air compressor are being operated under a “no load” condition. Caterpillar
industrial engines and truck engines are measured in terms of Brake Horsepower.
Fuel Rate (Diesel) - The mass of fuel burned by an engine in a specified time. The corrected fuel rate is the actual fuel rate or the observed fuel rate that
is corrected for the fuel density.
Fuel Rate (Spark Ignited Engines) - The fuel rate is the volume of fuel that is burned by an engine in a specified time. The corrected fuel rate is found
by multiplying the volume of fuel at standard conditions by the lower heating value of the fuel.

Fuel Pressure - The fuel pressure that is supplied to the injection system of a diesel engine
Full Load - The maximum power that can be developed by an engine that is running at the rated speed and the fuel system is opened to the maximum
specified condition.
Full Load Speed - The Full Load Speed is the speed that produces the rated horsepower. , The rack is also positioned to allow the maximum
recommended amount of fuel to the engine per unit of time. The governor should reach a balance point about when the engine reaches the full load
speed. In some applications, the curve of the engine performance is modified to provide an increase in horsepower when the torque spring is deflected.
In this instance, the full load speed and the balance point do not occur at the same time. The increase in horsepower between the balance point and the
full load speed is called the “BHP spread”.
Governor Balance Point - This point occurs at the engine speed when the fuel setting screw or pin just touches the torque spring or stop bar. The point
is set by making two easily adjusted and measurable settings (high idle speed setting and the static speed setting for the rack).
Induction System - The components of an engine that are involved in providing combustion air to an engine
Inlet Air Pressure - Inlet Air Pressure is the dry air pressure that is supplied to the inlet of an engine. This is normally barometric pressure minus water
vapor minus inlet air restriction.
Inlet Air Restriction - The process of dropping the combustion air from atmospheric pressure to the compressor inlet of a turbocharged engine or to
the inlet manifold of a naturally aspirated engine
Inlet Fuel Pressure - The fuel pressure that is supplied to the fuel inlet of a diesel engine
Inlet Fuel Pressure (Absolute Pressure) - The gas pressure that is supplied to the fuel inlet of a spark ignited engine
Inlet Fuel Temperature - The temperature of the fuel that is supplied to the fuel inlet of either a diesel engine or a spark ignited engine
Inlet Manifold Pressure - This is the inlet manifold pressure that is above atmospheric pressure. The pressure is also referred to as “boost”. The
pressure also indicates the amount of air that is being delivered to the engine. The 4S-6997 Manifold Test Gauge that is located in the test kit for the
engine will read absolute pressure. The absolute pressure is “boost” plus the atmospheric pressure.
Lug - This is the application of a load on an engine that causes the engine speed to drop below the rated speed. If the engine is lugged to a point that is
below the point of maximum torque, the engine will stall unless some of the load is removed.
Mixture Control - A screw or adjustable valve that is used to regulate the Air or the Fuel that is provided by a carburetor
Multiple Rating Engine - An engine which has a variable setting for the fuel at full load to provide more than one amount of power at full load
Naturally Aspirated - A term that is applied to an engine, which has no method of compressing the air that is supplied to the inlet manifold
Nominal - The Nominal value is the specified value or the target value of a performance characteristic for an engine. The nominal value is accompanied
with tolerances that define the acceptable range of the characteristic value relative to the nominal value.
Oil Pressure - The engine oil pressure at full load at a specified location on the engine
Overrun Speed - The portion of a brake horsepower (BHP) or torque curve that is between high idle and full load speed. In this speed range, the
engine is controlled by the governor.
Power - The rate of doing work. Power is the actual power or the observed power that is corrected to standard conditions of atmospheric pressure, inlet
air temperature, and fuel density.
Regulation - The increase in the speed of an engine that takes place after the full load is removed. Regulation is expressed as a percentage of full load
speed.
Response Check - A measure of the engine's ability to develop increasing torque at a constant speed.
Response Check (Idle Speed) - The engine speed that is specified for the cool down portion of the response check.
Response Check Speed - The constant engine speed that is used to determine the time that is necessary to develop a specific torque
Response Time - A measure of the time that is required for an engine to develop a specified torque or power
Rotation of Engine - The direction of rotation of the engine flywheel as the flywheel is viewed from the rear of the engine. Rotational direction is
expressed as clockwise rotation or counterclockwise rotation. The rotation of an engine is normally counterclockwise.
Separate Circuit Aftercooler - A heat exchanger that is used for cooling combustion air that is cooled by a source of water that is external to the
engine

running under a given steady state condition.
Static Fuel System Setting - A setting of the fuel system that is made to obtain the desired fuel rate at a particular operating point of the engine. The
settings are normally made to provide either the fuel rate at full load or the fuel rate at torque check RPM. The settings are identified as the Static Fuel
Setting at full load or the Static Fuel Setting at full torque.
Timing (Diesel) - The angular position of the crankshaft relative to top dead center at the start of injection
Timing (Spark Ignited Engine) - The angular position of the crankshaft relative to top dead center at the start of the spark plugs being energized.

Top Dead Center (TDC) - The position of the crankshaft as the piston is at the highest position.
Torque - Torque is an effort of twisting. Torque is a measure of the tendency of a force to cause rotation and torque is often used in engine
specifications.
Torque at Torque Check(TC) RPM - The steady state torque that is developed by an engine at the Torque Check Speed .
Torque Check Speed - The speed that is used to check the performance characteristics at low speed of the engine
Valve Lash - The clearance that is set into the valve mechanism to prevent an inlet valve or an exhaust valve from being held open while the mechanism
is hot.

Throttle Control
Note: Using the throttle pin for throttle control is an option when Cat ET is not available for speed override.
For A4 (2 70 pin connectors) and A4 (1 70 pin connector, 1 120 pin connector) ECMs the throttle pin input is J1-66.
For most the time, the throttle inputs are not used in the hot test cells. The test cells instead use the engine software's desired engine speed override
(ComET UID 0x00040020).

The CRS test is broken into two sections. Section one is to provide verification that the air line, fuel lines, and control valves are functioning and free
from major leaks. Section two is a functional test to ensure that the CRS performs as specified by Engineering.
1. Collect a base line from the engine electronics (ECM) for the CRS Air Flow, CRS Pilot Pressure, and CRS Main Pressure with all control valves
closed.
2. Override the CRS Air Control Valve to a constant value and measure the CRS Air Flow to ensure that it climbs above the base line.
3. Reclose the Air Control Valve and verify the air flow returns to the baseline value.
4. Open only the CRS Fuel Enable Control Valve and verify that the CRS Pilot and Main Pressures do not increase to check for leaks past the CRS
Pilot and Main Valves.
6. Open only the CRS Fuel Pressure Control Valve (Pilot and Main) and verify that the Pilot and Main pressures do not increase to check for leaks
past the CRS Fuel Enable Control Valve.
If any of the above fail to perform as described, section one is considered failed, and will not allow the CRS performance check to be run. In addition, if
BOTH Fuel Valves fail each independent leak check that the engine will be shut down.
1. Set the engine to defined load/speed point as defined for the model being tested (split is between Heavy Duty and Mid Range).
3. Wait for the CRS Flame Detect Temperature and CRS Main Pressure to reach their low limits, then wait an additional 15 seconds for stability to
be reached.
4. The Performance check will be aborted after 90 seconds if CRS Flame Detect Temperature or CRS Main Pressure do not reach their low limits.
5. For heavy-duty applications the CRS Air Purge Pump, if applicable, will always be activated at the end of this check. This pump will be verified by
monitoring the CRS Pilot and Main Pressures during the Nozzle only function with the pump in High-Speed mode.
6. The following data is collected as pass/fail criteria as part of the production test:
In the case of any fuel component repair or replacement to the Caterpillar Regeneration System, a pressurized system leak test shall be performed prior
to complete retest.
