Engine Design

  • Industry-leading power with ambient-based rating capability
  • ADEM4 engine control system provides complete engine control, monitoring, and protection while maintaining emissions.
  • Widest fuel tolerance in the industry for application flexibility
  • Proven reliability and durability with the lowest owning and operating costs
  • Factory-installed thermostats

Emissions

  • Meets U.S. EPA Spark Ignited Stationary NSPS Emissions for 2010 with the use of an oxidation catalyst

Lean Burn Engine Technology

  • Lean-burn engines operate with large amounts of excess air. The excess air absorbs heat during combustion reducing the combustion temperature and pressure, greatly reducing levels of NOx. Lean-burn design also provides longer component life and excellent fuel consumption.

Ease of Operation

  • Includes engine mounted thermostats, compress oil cooler connections, jacket water and lube oil heater connections.

Advanced Digital Engine Management

  • ADEM4 engine management system integrates speed control, air/fuel ratio control, and ignition/detonation controls into a complete engine management system. ADEM4 has improved: user interface, display system, shutdown controls, and system diagnostics.

Gas Engine Rating Pro

  • GERP is a web-based program designed to provide site performance capabilities for Cat® natural gas engines for the gas compression industry. GERP provides engine data for your site's altitude, ambient temperature, fuel, engine coolant heat rejection, performance data, installation drawings, spec sheets, and pump curves.https://gerp.cat.com

Aftermarket Upgrade Kits

Enhanced Performance

Increased horsepower boosts production while optimized uptime maximizes efficiency. Extended overhaul intervals help keep operations running longer with lower service demands.

Reduced Emissions

Lower GHG, methane, and VOC output with flexible 0.3 or 0.5 g/bhp-h NOx ratings. Integrated CCV further reduces methane emissions to support cleaner, more sustainable compression.

Simplified Reliability

Unchanged footprint ensures seamless packaging integration, supported by Dealer Network offering flexible service and customizable solutions to keep your engine performing.
