FEATURES
I DIESEL STRENGTH
All Caterpillar

gas engines are built on diesel

frames which means greater service life.
Caterpillar gas engines inherit more from their
diesel counterparts than just strength. They
are backed by the same support system
recognized as one of the most sophisticated
and dependable in the world.
I APPLICATION FLEXIBILITY
Broad operating speed range and ability to
burn a wide spectrum of gaseous fuels.
I LOW EMISSIONS
Low emission engines are capable of NO(x)
levels as low as 2.0 grams/hp-hr. Lower
emissions may be achievable for selected
applications. Consult your Caterpillar dealer.
I CATERPILLAR

GAS ENGINES
Represent the latest technology in engine
design. Engines are offered in both naturally
aspirated and turbocharged/aftercooled
configurations.
TA is offered as standard and low emission.
These different configurations offer:
High energy ignition systems for consistent
firing
High efficient combustion chamber for
complete burning of the fuel.
Modern component design such as deep
cup, oil gallery piston.
I ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM WITH
DETONATION SENSITIVE TIMING
The Caterpillar electronic ignition system
provides optimized spark timing for all
operating conditions. Timing is automatically
controlled to maintain continuous detonation
protection.
* Oil fill capacity with 21 elements
**Oil fill capacity without elements

CONDITIONS AND DEFINITIONS
Ratings are based on SAE J1349 standard
conditions of 29.61 in Hg (100 kPa) and 77 F
(25 C). These ratings also apply at ISO3046,
DIN6271, and BS5514 standard conditions of
29.61 in Hg (100 kPa), 81 F (27 C); and
API 7B-11C standard conditions of 29.38 in Hg
(99 kPa), 85 F (29 C).
Ratings are based on dry natural gas having a low
heat value of 905 btu/ft
3
(35.54 MJ/N m
3
).
Variations in altitude, temperature, and gas
composition from standard conditions may
require a reduction in engine horsepower.
Turbocharged-aftercooled ratings apply to
5000 ft (1525 m) and 77 F (25 C). Naturally
aspirated engines apply to 500 ft (150 m) and
77 F (25 C). For applications which exceed these
limits, consult your Caterpillar dealer.
Additional ratings may be available for specific
customer requirements. Consult your Caterpillar
representative for details.
