Milton CAT 980H - Manual (Page 7)

Engine. ACERT Technology combines
proven systems with innovative new
technologies to precisely deliver fuel
to the combustion chamber. It maintains
engine performance, efficiency and
durability while dramatically reducing
emissions.
The C15 engine used in the 980H has
a strong track record of reliability,
durability and power density in both
off-highway equipment and on-highway
trucks. In fact, millions of reliable road
miles have garnered it the J.D. Power &
Associates award for customer reliability.
The robust design of the C15 required
very few modifications to accommodate
the higher cylinder pressures associated
with ACERT Technology.
Although ACERT Technology itself
is new, much of the componentry is
the same as used in previous engines.
Electronic controllers are the brains
of ACERT Technology. The advanced
electronic controllers used in Cat engines
were first introduced in the early 1990s
and have a proven track record of
performance and reliability.
The C15 engine features the Cat
Mechanically Actuated Electronic
Unit Injection (MEUI) fuel system.
The MEUI fuel system is a highly
evolved system with proven reliability
and durability in the field.
Integrated Systems. The Caterpillar
Monitoring System (CMS) tracks critical
machine systems to alert the operator to
potential need for service. Three levels
of warning allow the operator to assess
the situation more accurately. CMS is tied
to the engine, transmission, hydraulics
and brakes – connecting all major
systems allows the loader to work as
a fully integrated system – from the
linkage to the engine.
