Cat C9 ACERT Tier 4 Interim engine: Available in Highly Regulated Countries (HRC)
Field data and customer input have shown that the Cat C9 ACERT engine delivers more horsepower at lower engine speeds using less fuel than the previous series. The C9 meets U.S. Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage IIIB emission standards. In designing the C9, new technology was incorporated to ensure that changes to meet emissions requirements would not increase operating costs, reduce uptime or shorten service life.
Aftertreatment Regeneration Emissions Solution
Driven by customer input, Caterpillar's aftertreatment regeneration emissions solution works with no operator intervention needed. In automatic mode, the machine starts the regeneration process once the filtering system reaches a specified level and conditions are optimal. Productivity is not affected by the regeneration process. The system will not interrupt work and can regenerate during machine operation with no impact on machine performance. With a touch of a button inside the cab, the operator can override the automatic mode and switch to manual mode for initiating or disabling the regeneration process. On average, regeneration is needed only every 10 hours and takes 20-25 minutes. The diesel particulate filter only needs to be cleaned every 5,000 hours – approximately every two years.
Electronic-Controlled High-Pressure Fuel System
The C9 ACERT engine is equipped with an electronic-controlled high-pressure fuel system that includes an electric priming pump and three-layer fuel hose to allow the use of biodiesel.
Cat C9 ACERT Tier 3 engine: Available in Lesser and Non-Regulated Countries (LRC)
The Cat C9 ACERT engine performs at U.S. Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA emission levels and provides clean, quiet operation while delivering superior performance and durability. The engine features a flat power curve for outstanding response in the working RPM range, noise reduction technologies, and patented ACERT Technology combined with common rail fuel system, smart waste gate turbocharger and crossflow head design for reduced emissions.
Biodiesel Ready
The C9 engine is designed to burn biodiesel fuel (meeting ASTM 6751 or EN 14214) up to B20 (biodiesel 20 percent mixture).
