ACERT™ Technology.
ACERT Technology allows Cat
engines to supply more power per unit of
displacement without causing premature
wear. This breakthrough technology
reduces emissions during the combustion
process by using advanced technology
in the air and fuel systems, in conjunction
with integrated electronics. ACERT
Technology enhances overall engine
performance while dramatically
reducing exhaust emissions.
Fuel Delivery. The C9 engine with
ACERT Technology uses multiple
injection fuel delivery to precisely shape
the combustion cycle. Several small
ignitions lower combustion chamber
temperatures, generates fewer emissions
and optimizes fuel combustion. Bottom
line: more work output for your fuel cost.
Power Management. The 160M Power
Management System automatically
delivers an additional five horsepower
in each forward gear 1st through 4th,
and each reverse gear 1st through 3rd.
This standard feature optimizes rimpull
for all gears by balancing traction, speed
and horsepower while conserving fuel.
The system limits horsepower in lower
gears, which helps reduce wheel slip
where traction is limited. With the
Variable Horsepower Plus (VHP Plus)
option, an additional five-horsepower
is delivered in each forward gear 5th
through 8th for more power at
higher speeds.
Performance. The Cat C9 engine meets
specific performance requirements for
160M applications. Its superior torque
and lugging capability can pull through
sudden, short-term increases in loads,
maintaining consistent, desirable grading
speeds to get the work done faster without
downshifting.
Hydraulic Demand Fan. The hydraulic
demand fan automatically adjusts cooling
fan speed according to engine cooling
requirements. This system reduces
demands on the engine, putting more
horsepower to the ground and
improving fuel efficiency.
Exhaust Emissions Compliant. The Cat
C9 with ACERT Technology meets
or exceeds all U.S. EPA Tier 3 and
European Union Stage IIIa emissions
control standards.
