REQUIRED For Replacement labeled Engines, Long Blocks, and short blocks sold within the U.S. and U.S. Territories the engine core (i.e. old engine) that is removed MUST be returned to your selling Caterpillar dealer, so that they can return to Caterpillar OR destroy, as required by law. Proof of return or destruction will then be provided to the EPA and or California ARB if required. See PELJ1301 for additional details.
An Engine is responsible for converting thermal energy derived from the combustion of fuel into mechanical work. It works on the principle of transforming chemical energy stored in a fuel-air mixture into kinetic energy using controlled explosions within the enclosed cylinders. The Internal combustion engine operates on a four-stroke cycle called intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. This Cycle is repeated continually to produce a sustained mechanical output.
Attributes:
• Turbocharged-aftercooled induction type helps improve the density and oxygen content in the air
• Direct Injection Combustion type allows for precise control over fuel injection process
Applications:
An Engine is used to power the machine's drive train and hydraulic components associated with it and provides the power needed to move the machine forward or backward allowing the equipment to carry out its intended operations.
