SEAL 3N0533 - Caterpillar

Rating Conditions
The engine ratings are based in compliance with the following standard ambient air conditions of "SAE J1995 January 1990" and "ISO3046":
Dry barometric pressure of 99 kPa
Temperature of 25 °CEngine performance and fuel consumption are based on the following fuel specifications:
The low heat value (LHV) of the fuel is 42 780 kJ/kg at 29 °C.
The density of the fuel is 838.9 g/L.The following tolerances are included:
five percent for specific fuel consumption
three percent for brake kilowatts at the flywheelThe power at the flywheel is demonstrated at a Caterpillar Engine test cell.Before engine power is derated, the maximum temperature of the inlet air to the turbocharger is 45 °C.The engine ratings represent net power. The power that is required for the following parameters has been subtracted from the net power:
Air filter restriction
Exhaust restriction
Fuel pump
Pumps that circulate lube oil
Water pumpsRating Definitions and Power Output
For information on power curves for engine rpm, see the Application and Installation Guide.
Operating an engine above the engine's rating will reduce the service life of the engine before overhaul.
Note: For all of the ratings of engines that use heavy fuel oil, the nominal temperature of the coolant to the aftercooler is 32 °C (90 °F). The worst condition for this temperature is 38 °C (100 °F). The maximum altitude for the ratings is 200 m (656 ft).Ratings for Generator Set Engines
