 EPA Tier 3 Engine Protection Strategy

• Engine De-rate Strategies in Place to Maintain Engine Durability

– Prevents Turbo Overspeed
– Protects Against Excessive Compressor Outlet Temperatures
– Protects Against Excessive Exhaust Manifold Temperatures
• Example
– 803 bhp @ 45 deg C Ambient / 52 deg C Water to Aftercooler = 3.3% Derate
– 3.3% Derate Means 579 bkW or 777 bhp

Caterpillar Confidential: Yellow

 EPA Tier 3 Engine Protection Strategy

• Derate Less Severe on Lower Ratings

• Annunciation Strategy
– J1939 Parameter “Engine Derate Request” (SPN 3644)
• Software Will Output % Derate for Helm/Engine Room Displays
• Displays Must Be Configured to Display This SPN
– DM1 Can Be Programmed to Include Optional Alarm During Derate

• Sea Trial Override

– Derate Can Be Overridden Through Customer Connector Jumper Switch

Caterpillar Confidential: Yellow

Redundant Starting Options

• Starting Motor Options

– No Starting Motor
– RH Mounted Only Electric Starting Motor
– LH Mounted Only Air Starting Motor
– RH Mounted Electric with LH Mounted Air Starting Motors

• If Electric Starting Motor and Air Starting Motor are Both Selected
– Factory Only Wires RH Mounted Electric Starting Motor
– Dealer/Customer Responsible for Providing Starter Wiring for the Air Starting Motor
