[. . . ] The Cat C11 engine meets specific performance requirements for 14M applications. Its superior torque and lugging capability can pull through sudden, short-term increases in loads, maintaining consistent, desirable grading speeds to get the work done faster without downshifting. ACERT Technology allows Cat engines to supply more power per unit of displacement without causing premature wear. This breakthrough technology reduces emissions during the combustion process by using advanced technology in the air and fuel systems, in conjunction with integrated electronics. ACERT Technology enhances overall engine performance while dramatically reducing exhaust emissions. The C11 engine with ACERT Technology uses multiple injection fuel delivery to precisely shape the combustion cycle. Several small ignitions lower combustion chamber temperatures, generates fewer emissions and optimizes fuel combustion. Bottom line: more work output for your fuel cost. The hydraulic demand fan automatically adjusts cooling fan speed according to engine cooling requirements. This system reduces demands on the engine, putting more horsepower to the ground and improving fuel efficiency. The Cat C11 with ACERT Technology meets or exceeds all U. S. EPA Tier 3 and European Union Stage IIIa emissions control standards. 12 Hydraulics The 14M electro-hydraulics enable advanced machine controls with precise and predictable movements. Balanced Flow. Hydraulic flow is proportioned to ensure all implements operate simultaneously with little effect on the engine or implement speeds. If demand exceeds pump capacity, all cylinder velocities are reduced by the same ratio. The result is improved productivity in all applications. PPPC valves have different flow rates for the head and rod ends of the cylinder. This ensures consistent extension and retraction speeds for each cylinder, and gives the operator a consistent and predictable response every time an implement control is moved. Precise blade control Advanced Electro-Hydraulic System. The 14M incorporates a state-of-the-art electro-hydraulic system. This technology is the foundation for revolutionary changes of the machine and implement controls. Advanced joystick controls provide unmatched controllability with precise, predictable hydraulic movements and the reliability you expect from Caterpillar. Blade float is built into the blade lift control valves and is optional for some auxiliary hydraulic functions. The blade float feature allows the blade to move freely under its own weight. [. . . ] The 14M groups daily service points in the left side service center to help ensure proper maintenance and inspection routines. The 14M extended service intervals, such as 500-hour engine oil changes and 4000-hour hydraulic oil changes, reduce machine service time and increase availability. Ecology Drains. Conveniently located ecology drains shorten service times and help keep the environment safe by preventing spills. The 14M integrates Cat Messenger, Cat Electronic Technician and S·O·SSM Sampling ports for easy monitoring and fast troubleshooting, keeping your machine up and running. [. . . ]
