Electronic Controls. The C6. 6 engines use advanced electronic controllers, which have a proven track record for performance and reliability. ADEM A4 Electronic Control Module (ECM) receives data from engine-mounted sensors and adjusts critical parameters to maintain optimum performance. These adjustments also optimize fuel economy and emissions compliance. Electronics also make engines easier to troubleshoot and repair. Fuel is introduced in the combustion chamber in a number of precisely controlled microbursts. Injecting fuel in this way allows for precise shaping of the combustion process. The ADEMTMA4 module directs the injectors to deliver precise quantities of fuel at exactly the right times during combustion for optimum efficiency and performance. The C6. 6 uses a turbocharger fitted with a smart wastegate to give precise control of the boost pressure. Over the entire engine operating ranges the result is improved: Throttle response, lower fuel consumption and optimized engine performance. A new cross-flow design in the cylinder head facilitates air movement, while tighter tolerances between the piston and cylinder liner are reducing blow by gases. A wellmatched turbocharger and air-to-air aftercooler results in higher power while keeping rpm steady and exhaust temperatures low.

The Cat® C6. 6 is a 6. 6 liter (403 in3) displacement, six cylinder, inline configured engine equipped with a Caterpillar Common Rail fuel System. It uses ACERT Technology, a series of Caterpillar engineered innovations that provide advanced electronic control, precision fuel delivery and refined air management, resulting in outstanding performance and lower emissions. The C6. 6 features a compact design with heavy-duty engine features for outstanding durability, reliability and performance. The C6. 6 incorporates a new cross flow cylinder head design, a 4 valve head and an ADEM A4 electronic controller. Drawbar Pull Drawbar Pull vs. The direct injection electronic fuel system provides a controlled fuel delivery increase as the engine lugs back from rated speed. This results in increased horsepower below rated power. A combination of increased torque rise and maximum horsepower improves response and provides greater drawbar pull. The cooling system is a single coolant unit including hydraulic oil cooler, radiator, ATAAC and fan installation. Aluminum cores and hydraulically driven demand fan provide optimum cooling and fuel efficiency. A standard electric fuel priming pump is located in the primary fuel filter base above the combined water separator/primary fuel filter. [. . . ] Your Cat Dealer can give you answers to these questions. Consider the financing options available as well as day-to-day operating costs. This is also the time to look at dealer services that can be included in the cost of the machine to yield lower equipment owning and operating costs over the long run. Improving operating techniques can boost your profits. [. . . ]
