Cat? C6.6 Engine with ACERT? Technology
The Cat? C6.6 is a 6.6 liter (403 in3) displacement, six cylinder, inline configured engine equipped with a Caterpillar Common Rail fuel System. It uses ACERT Technology, a series of caterpillar engineered innovations that provide advanced electronic control, precision fuel delivery and refined air management, resulting in outstanding performance and lower emissions.
Design:
The C6.6 features a compact design with heavy-duty engine features for outstanding durability, reliability and performance. The C6.6 incorporates a new cross flow cylinder head design, a 4 valve head and an ADEM A4 electronic controller.
Electronic Controls:
The C6.6 engines use advanced electronic controllers, which have a proven track record for performance and reliability. ADEM A4 Electronic Control Module (ECM) receives data from engine-mounted sensors and adjusts critical parameters to maintain optimum performance. These adjustments also optimize fuel economy and emissions compliance. Electronics also make engines easier to troubleshoot and repair.
Fuel Delivery:
Fuel is introduced in the combustion chamber in a number of precisely controlled microbursts. Injecting fuel in this way allows for precise shaping of the combustion process. The ADEM?A4 module directs the injectors to deliver precise quantities of fuel at exactly the right times during combustion for optimum efficiency and performance.
Air Management :
The C6.6 uses a turbocharger fitted with a smart wastegate to give precise control of the boost pressure. Over the entire engine operating ranges the result is improved: throttle response, lower fuel consumption and optimised engine performance. A new cross-flow design in the cylinder head facilitates air movement, while tighter tolerances between the piston and cylinder liner are reducing blow by gases.
Turbo charged and aftercooled:
A well-matched turbocharger and air-to-air aftercooler results in higher power while keeping rpm steady and exhaust temperatures low.
Torque Rise:
The direct injection electronic fuel system provides a controlled fuel delivery increase as the engine lugs back from rated speed. This results in increased horsepower below rated power. A combination of increased torque rise and maximum horsepower improves response and provides greater drawbar pull.
Pipelayer:
Caterpillar pipelayer system includes winch and boom, counterweight and frame.
Structure:
The frame is engineered to handle the most demanding applications, and is built to last throughout the extended service life of the PL61.
Operator Station:
The operator station is ergonomically designed to provide excellent visibility and superior comfort for maximum productivity throughout the day.
