Description
Caterpillar Engine History
Let’s take a look back at Caterpillar engine history. The CAT 3304
and 3306 remain two of the best engines Caterpillar ever designed
and produced. While the former is an in-line, four-stroke-cycle
engine that has a max brake horsepower of 95, a bore and stroke of
4.8 inches by 6.0 inches and a displacement of 425 cubic inches,
the latter is a 10.5 L inline six-cylinder diesel or natural gas
engine that produces horsepower ratings between 218 – 360 hp with
turbo and injector performance upgrades. Both engines are known for
their reliability due to uncomplicated designs, yet offer solutions
in a wide range of construction applications. These engines were
installed in a lot of vocational trucks, step vans, delivery
vehicles, and bread trucks. The engines are also found in
everything from rollers, excavators to cement mixers.
Caterpillar Cylinder Heads
Many special features make Caterpillar engines exceptional, yet one
thing that sets Caterpillar apart is its cylinder head design.
Performing the same function as regular cylinder heads, which are
sealing in the pressures of combustion, circulating coolant to
maintain proper operating temperatures, and providing superior
compression resistance, Caterpillar cylinder heads and valves are
built with high-quality materials and controlled manufacturing
processes to provide top performance and long life. Each cylinder
head is assembled and cleaned to meet rigid requirements, and also
totally inspected to detect possibilities of failure. To avoid
cracking, castings are checked for erosion or other damage, and
internal coolant passages vital to proper water circulation are
also ensured to meet Caterpillar specifications. Caterpillar’s
strict re-manufacturing process for cylinder heads and valves allow
its engines to go hundreds of thousands of miles. (before major
overhaul)
In Conclusion
A major advantage of the diesel engine is its fuel efficiency. Out
of all other combustion engines, diesel engines produce the highest
level of energy for how much fuel is burned. There’s also a broad
diversity of fuels it can accept, including fuel oils and biofuels.
These fuels are less flammable, can have good lubrication
properties, and in the case of biofuels, can even be made for free
from discarded oils and other materials!
