ACERT (Caterpillar) ACERT Technology is a solution to meet EPA Tier 3 regulations to improve the combustion process to reduce emissions.

The goal remains to meet and exceed performance requirements, reliability, durability, fuel economy and cost of ownership and operation. ACERT Technology is allowing Caterpillar construction equipment to achieve the objective. What is ACERT? ACERT Technology is a new system that reduces emissions at the point of combustion. The technology capitalizes on Caterpillar's expertise in four basic systems: fuel, air, electronic and post-treatment. It is a unique and revolutionary system that allows Caterpillar to meet current regulations on emissions and establishes the foundations to meet the demanding requirements of tomorrow. Air Management System: Using turbochargers to force cold air intake and clean the combustion chamber and use electronic systems to control the volume of air needed for different loads and speeds, you get complete combustion. The results are improved engine response, increased fuel economy and performance. Fuel system: One of the two fuel systems patented fuel system MEUI HEUI and is used in engines with ACERT Technology (C7 and above). Multiple small doses are injected fuel in the combustion chamber at the appropriate time to achieve better fuel economy and lower emissions. The electronic control module (ECM) determines the amount of fuel injected and timing. Advanced Electronics: The advanced electronics package that is used in Cat engines with ACERT technology integrates systems to achieve emission reductions, while maintaining excellent performance and fuel economy. Post treatment: As the fuel and air systems manage processes to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, in some cases, it is necessary to use additional technology to reduce particles. Particulation to reduce the exhaust muffler uses a diesel oxidation catalyst. This after-treatment technology is used today in the work product markets with plans for possible introduction in the product markets of road during Phase 4 of the regulations. ACERT Technology is much more than a means to meet current stringent emissions regulations. It is a long-term solution will provide customers do as well as added value. Cat engines with ACERT Technology are the best investment in the industry because they meet regulations of the EPA emissions without sacrificing engine performance. ACERT Technology. C11 ACERT engine introduces a series of incremental evolutionary improvements that provide technology-based engine components and systems developed by Caterpillar with proven reliability. The technology capitalizes on Caterpillar's expertise in four core engine systems: fuel, air, electronic and posttreatment. ACERT Technology is a unique and revolutionary system that allows

Cat engines to meet clean air regulations today, thus creating the basic components in order to meet the highest standards of tomorrow. Block C11. This block of gray iron piece has generous ribbing for stiffness and bearing partitions, heavy duty strength and stiffness while turning the crankshaft. The connection points straight annular seals reduce the loss the loss of engine oil and fluids. Cylinder head and piston technology. The C11 has a cross-flow cylinder head with refined port geometry, which improves breathing and provides better Combustion. The MONOTHERM steel pistons are forged steel design that offers high strength, low weight, and tight tolerances. The result is better oil control, minimum exhaust, and a longer life. Advanced Motor Controller Diesel Engine Management (ADEM) (Advanced Engine Management Diesel) A4. The module ADEM A4 electronic control manages the delivery of fuel to get the best performance per liter or gallon of fuel used. The engine management system provides flexible fuel mapping, allowing the engine to respond quickly to varying application needs. Keeps track of the conditions of the machine and the engine while keeping the engine running at peak efficiency. Fuel delivery. Fuel Delivery Multiple injection involves a high degree of accuracy. Precisely shaping the combustion cycle lowers combustion chamber, generating fewer emissions and optimizing fuel combustion. This translates into more work output by fuel costs. Noise reduction technologies. Noise reduction has been achieved through design changes to the isolated top cover, the collector housing, a multiple injection strategy, insulated cover box synchronization, sculpted crankcase and gear development Gear.
