CAT TECHNOLOGY #2: FUEL SYSTEM OPTIONS To maximize customer value, Caterpillar engineers specified fuel systems (identified by the number 2 in the picture at the right) based on the power and performance demands for each engine. Read below to learn more about Cat fuel system options for Tier 4 Interim engines. |
| INJECTION TIMING USES MICROBURSTS TO CONTROL FUEL INJECTION As a key component of Cat Tier 4 technology, injection timing precisely controls the fuel injection process through a series of carefully timed microbursts. This injection timing provides more control of combustion for the cleanest, most efficient fuel burn. Descriptions of the two major fuel system components are shown below. HIGH PRESSURE COMMON RAIL FUEL SYSTEMS High Pressure Common Rail Fuel Systems with full electronic injection (pictured below) improve precision and control that boost performance and reduces soot for the C4.4 ACERT, C6.6 ACERT, C7.1 ACERT and C9.3 ACERT. ADVANCED MEUI-C INJECTOR PLATFORMS Advanced MEUI-C injector platforms handle increased injection pressures and more precise fuel rates. These durable injectors enhance responsiveness while controlling soot in the C13 ACERT, C15 ACERT, C18 ACERT, C27 ACERT and C32 ACERT.
