NOTES:
1. All data are based on ISO standard conditions of 29.54 inches Hg. (100 kPa) barometric pressure, 77°F (25°C) ambient and
induction air temperature, 30% relative humidity (0.3 inches Hg. / 1 kPa water vapor pressure), 180°F (82°C) engine jacket water
outlet temperature, and standard ignition timing per Note 5 for 11:1 compression ratio.
2. All data are average values at the standard conditions and will vary for individual engines and with operating and ambient
conditions and with changes to ignition timing or air/fuel ratio. An adequate reserve should be used for cooling system or heat
recovery calculations. See also Cooling System Guidelines, S-6699-7, latest version.
3. ISO Standard (continuous) power ratings conform to ISO 3046/1, latest version, with a mechanical efficiency of 90% and
auxiliary water temperature, Tcra, of 130°F (54.5°C) limited to  10°F ( 5.5°C). ISO Standard power rating of 176 BMEP requires
Price Book Option Code 1100.
4. Fuel standard: dry natural gas, 900 BTU/scf (35.38 MJ/m3 [25, V (0; 101.325)]) saturated lower heating value (SLHV) with a
minimum Waukesha Knock Index* of 91. Refer to S-7884-6, latest version, for the full fuel specification.
5. Standard ignition timing is 13° BTDC with J-type 60999T or 60999W spark plugs and 15° BTDC with 4-ground 60999S spark
plugs.
6. For heat rejection changes due to engine jacket water outlet temperature higher than standard (Note 1), refer to S-7613-3, latest
version.
7. Total Exhaust Energy includes both recoverable and non-recoverable heat. For a procedure to calculate recoverable heat refer
to S-8117-1, latest version.
8. Exhaust oxygen concentration set to 7.8% at rated speed and load at standard timing to provide 2 g/bhp-hr or less NOx. This
oxygen level is measured at the port located in the exhaust manifold upstream of the turbocharger.
9. Low pressure (draw thru) fuel system on the GLD model.
10. Reference Engine Ratings and Fuel Consumption curve sheets C-1112-13 and C-1112-15.
11. Exhaust flow at nominal 29.54 inches Hg. (100 kPa) atmospheric pressure:
Flow rate (English): ACFM = (Exh. Flow, lb/hr) x (Exh. Temp. F + 460)

NOTES:
1. All data are based on ISO standard conditions of 100 kPa (29.54 inches Hg.) barometric pressure, 25°C (77°F) ambient and
induction air temperature, 30% relative humidity (1 kPa / 0.3 inches Hg. water vapor pressure), 82°C (180°F) engine jacket water
outlet temperature, and standard ignition timing per Note 5 for 11:1 compression ratio.
2. All data are average values at the standard conditions and will vary for individual engines and with operating and ambient
conditions and with changes to ignition timing or air/fuel ratio. An adequate reserve should be used for cooling system or heat
recovery calculations. See also Cooling System Guidelines, S-6699-7, latest version.
3. ISO Standard (continuous) power ratings conform to ISO 3046/1, latest version, with a mechanical efficiency of 90% and
auxiliary water temperature, Tcra, of 54.5°C (130°F) limited to  5.5°C ( 10°F). ISO Standard power rating of 176 BMEP requires
Price Book Option Code 1100.
4. Fuel standard: dry natural gas, 35.38 MJ/m3 [25, V (0; 101.325)] (900 BTU/scf) saturated lower heating value (SLHV) with a
minimum Waukesha Knock Index* of 91. Refer to S-7884-6, latest version, for the full fuel specification.
5. Standard ignition timing is 13° BTDC with J-type 60999T or 60999W spark plugs and 15° BTDC with 4-ground 60999S spark
plugs.
6. For heat rejection changes due to engine jacket water outlet temperature higher than standard (Note 1), refer to S-7613-3, latest
version.
7. Total Exhaust Energy includes both recoverable and non-recoverable heat. For a procedure to calculate recoverable heat refer
to S-8117-1, latest version.
8. Exhaust oxygen concentration set to 7.8% at rated speed and load at standard timing to provide 2 g/bhp-hr or less NOx. This
oxygen level is measured at the port located in the exhaust manifold upstream of the turbocharger.
9. Low pressure (draw thru) fuel system on the GLD model.
10. Reference Engine Ratings and Fuel Consumption curve sheets C-1112-13 and C-1112-15.
11. Exhaust flow at nominal 100 kPa (29.54 inches Hg.) atmospheric pressure:
Flow rate (metric): m3/hr = (Exh. Flow, kg/h) x (Exh. Temp. C + 273)
