New Feature
C7 with ACERT™ Technology
Built for power reliability, economy and low emissions.
Cat C7. The Cat C7 with ACERT™ Technology introduces a series of evolutionary, incremental improvements that provide breakthrough engine technology. The building blocks of ACERT Technology are fuel delivery, air management and electronic control. ACERT Technology optimizes engine performance while meeting U.S. EPA Tier 3 engine emission regulations.
Performance. The 325D L, equipped with the C7 engine with ACERT Technology, provides 12% more horsepower as compared to the 3126B ATAAC HEUI in the 325C L.
Automatic Engine Speed Control.
The two-stage, one-touch control maximizes fuel efficiency and reduces sound levels.
ADEM™ A4 Engine Controller.
The ADEM A4 electronic control module manages fuel delivery to get the best performance per liter of fuel used. The engine management system provides flexible fuel mapping, allowing the engine to respond quickly to varying application needs. It tracks engine and machine conditions while keeping the engine operating at peak efficiency.
Electronic Control Module.
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) works as the “brain” of the engine’s control system, responding quickly to operating variables to maximize engine efficiency. Fully integrated with sensors in the engine’s fuel, air, coolant, and exhaust systems, the ECM stores and relays information on conditions such as rpm, fuel consumption, and diagnostic information.
Fuel Delivery. The Cat C7 features electronic controls that govern the fuel injection system. Multiple injection fuel delivery involves a high degree of precision. Precisely shaping the combustion cycle lowers combustion chamber temperatures, generating fewer emissions and optimizing fuel combustion. This translates into more work output for your fuel cost.
Cooling System. The cooling fan is directly driven from the engine. An electrically controlled viscous
clutch fan is available as an attachment to reduce fan noise. The optimum fan speed is calculated based on the target engine speed, coolant temperature, hydraulic oil temperature and actual fan speed. The Cat C7 delivered a completely new layout that separates the cooling system from the engine compartment.
Air Cleaner. The radial seal air filter features a double-layered filter core for more efficient filtration and is located in a compartment behind the cab. A warning is displayed on the monitor when dust accumulates above a preset level.
Noise Reduction Technologies.
The engine mounts are rubber-isolating mounts matched with the engine package. Further noise reduction has been achieved through design changes to
the isolated top cover, oil pan, multiple injection strategy, insulated timing cover, sculpted crankcase and gear train refinements.
Hydraulics
Cat® hydraulics deliver power and precise control to keep material moving.
Component Layout. The hydraulic system and component locations have been designed to provide a high level of system efficiency. The main pumps, control valves and hydraulic tank are located close together to allow for shorter tubes and lines between components which reduces friction loss and pressure drops in the lines. The layout further provides greater operator comfort by placing the radiator on the cab side of the upper structure. This allows incoming air to enter the engine compartment from the operator side and hot air and corresponding engine sound to exit on the opposite side away from the operator. This reduces engine compartment heat and sound being transmitted to the operator.
Pilot System. The pilot pump is independent from the main pumps and controls the front linkage, swing and travel operations.
Hydraulic Cross Sensing System.
The hydraulic cross sensing system utilizes each of two hydraulic pumps to 100 percent of engine power, under all operating conditions. This improves productivity with faster implement
speeds and quicker, stronger pivot turns.
Boom and Stick Regeneration Circuit.
Boom and stick regeneration circuit saves energy during boom-down
and stick-in operation which increases efficiency, reduces cycle times and pressure loss for higher productivity, lower operating costs and increased fuel efficiency.
