General
Basic C280 Diesel Engine Design

The C280 Engine Family for marine applications is a modern, highly efficient, IMO
certified engine series consisting of in-line engines of 6 and 8 cylinders and vee
engines of 12 and 16 cylinders. These are four stroke, non-reversible engines rated
at speeds from 900 to 1000 rpm and intended for use as main propulsion and
electric power generator drivers for marine applications. The engines are
turbocharged, charge air cooled and with a direct injection fuel system using unit
fuel injectors. The use of individual fuel injectors eliminates the need for high
pressure piping and provides for an accurate, high injection pressure.
The engine block is a nodular cast iron block. The intake plenum runs the full
length of the engine, providing even air distribution to the cylinders.
The crankshaft is a pressed forging that is induction hardened. A counter-weight
for each cylinder is bolted to the crankshaft using a robust 3 bolt design.
Crankshaft end flanges are identical so full power can be taken off from either end.
The main, rod and camshaft bearings are steel-backed, nickel bonded aluminum
with a lead-tin overlay, copper-bonded to the aluminum. Experience has shown this
produces the best bearing construction available for the longest possible life.
The connecting rods are forged, heat treated and shot peened before machining.
The special four-bolt design allows for an extra-large bearing which reduces bearing
load and extends bearing life.
The cylinder liners are high alloy iron castings, induction hardened, plateau honed
and water jacketed over their full length. The liners are equipped with an antipolishing ring (cuff) to avoid piston / liner carbonizing and thus improve lube oil
control and liner life.
The pistons are two-piece with a steel crown and forged aluminum skirt for
excellent strength and durability, yet light weight. Each piston has four rings, two
in hardened grooves in the crown and two in the skirt. The top compression ring is
asymmetrically faced with a chrome-ceramic matrix coating to provide extended
ring and liner life. The two middle rings are taper-faced and chrome plated, while
the lower lube oil control ring is double rail chrome faced, with a spring expander.
Oil is jet sprayed into passageways within the pistons for cooling and lubrication of
the piston pin.
The valve seats on the replaceable inserts are induction-hardened. Positive
rotators on all the valves maintain a uniform temperature and wear pattern across
the valve face and seat. The exhaust and air inlet valves are both manufactured
from Nimonic 80A material.

GENERAL

The cooling system can either be combined circuit or separate circuit, depending
on emissions levels and available sea water temperature. Both versions use two
identical centrifugal pumps to get coolant (usually a 50/50 water/glycol mix) to the
aftercooler, oil cooler, block, and heads. Orifices are used to ensure correct coolant

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


flow to each component. There is an optional connection for a jacket water heater
if required to meet cold-starting applications.
The air starting system is highly reliable turbine driven air motor that does not
contain rubbing parts and does not required external lubrication.
The engine mounting system is a robust system of mounting feet that enable
proper support to the installation foundation and top plate(s). The C280-6 and
C280-8 are designed with four mounting feet and the C280-12 and C280-16 use
six mounting feet.

Matching of Propellers and Waterjets

GENERAL

Controllable Pitch (CP) propellers are normally designed so that 90 to 100% of


the rated power is utilized when the ship is on trial at a specified speed and load.
Overload protection or load control is necessary to protect the engine from
overload in the event of heavy vessel loading weather conditions, sea state, or hull
fouling.

Waterjets approximate a fixed pitch propeller demand curve and can also be
affected by vessel loading, weather conditions, sea state, and hull fouling. The
waterjet power demand should be matched such that these conditions do not result
in engine overload. The waterjet to engine match should be based on expected
heavy ship conditions, propulsion system power losses, reduction gear losses, etc.
The following graph provides an example of a correct waterjet match.
2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

Correct Waterjet Match

System Response
The waterjet should be matched to the engine such that the engine can smoothly
reach its rated speed in a time frame that optimizes acceleration and fuel
combustion (smoke). This optimized condition is frequently programmed into the
electronic governing system and the waterjet should not inhibit the programmed
acceleration rate. An oversized waterjet may result in engine lug (maximum fuel @
less than rated rpm), resulting in owner dissatisfaction with vessel performance, as
well as possible harm to the engine from excessive exhaust temperatures.

2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

GENERAL

Engine and Waterjet Tolerances


Engine and waterjet tolerances should be taken into account in the propulsion
system design. Waterjets typically have a rated speed tolerance of +/- 0.5% to
+/- 1.5%. Thus the waterjets will absorb the rated power somewhere within this
speed band tolerance. If the situation arises where the waterjet is supplied within

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


these specifications, but at the lower limit of the speed tolerance, it could mean
that the propeller demand would require 4.5% more power at the nominal rated
speed. If the waterjet is supplied with the ability to absorb the power only at the
upper limit of the speed tolerance, the engine may not be able to pull the rated
power out of the waterjet, as the engine may not be able to operate at this higher
rpm. The C280 tolerances provide nominal power +/- 1.5% with a rated speed
tolerance of + 0.5% to 1.0%. To insure the best possible match between the
engine and the waterjet in view of the tolerance differences, the following
procedure applies.
Engine adjustment and acceptability guidelines for sea trials:
1. If the maximum engine speed in the ship installation during full load sea trials
is between 995 rpm and 1000 rpm, no adjustments will be made to the
engine settings.
2. If the maximum engine speed in the ship installation during full load sea trials
is 1000 rpm and the shipyard measured parameters such as boost, fuel rate,
rack position and/or cylinder pressure indicate that between 1001 and 1005
rpm is necessary to achieve the rated power, no adjustments will be made to
the engine settings.
3. If the maximum engine speed in the ship installation during full load sea trials
is between 990 rpm and 994 rpm and the shipyard parameters indicate that
the engine is in the lower end of the power tolerance, the rack setting can be
increased so that the minimum power will be within -1.5% tolerance (2670
bkW in the case of the 2710 bkW rating) based on standard ambient
conditions. A new specification will be created to reflect the new rack
setting and a new engine nameplate will be stamped.
4. If the maximum engine speed in the ship installation during full load sea trials
is 1000 rpm and the shipyard measured parameters indicate that between
1006 rpm and 1010 rpm is necessary to achieve the rated power, the engine
rated speed may be increased. The engine rated speed will not exceed 1010
rpm and Caterpillar reserves the option of reducing fuel stop setting to
provide a maximum output of 2750 bkW at standard conditions within the
1006-1010 rpm speed range. If necessary, a new specification will be
created to reflect the new rack setting and a new nameplate will be
stamped.
5. A maximum attainable engine speed of less than 990 rpm is considered
unacceptable for lug for continuous operation.
Requirements / Conditions:
1. The dynamometer test results at fuel stop power will be used as the criteria
for evaluating installed engine power.
GENERAL

2. ISO standard reference conditions apply for power, not site conditions.

3. Minimum power setting (no negative tolerance in the dyno) will be driven by
the quoter including the associated additional cost.
4. The minimum tolerance on engine power in the dyno will be reduced to 2%.
2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

5. A tolerance of +/- 1.5% applies to engine power in the field based on


standard conditions.
6. The standard rated power and speed will not be changed on the new
nameplate, only the rack setting.
Note: The nominal propeller demand curve shown in the C280-8 Power and Speed
Tolerances Graph shows the cubic demand curve through the engine design point
of 2710 bkW at 1000 rpm. The propeller demand curves 2 and 3 are matched
through the minimum and maximum power tolerance limits at rated speed.
C280-8 Power and Speed Tolerances

Waterjet Tolerances
Standard waterjet tolerances are +/- 1.5% speed at rated power. This speed
tolerance is a function of the pump design, hull form, vessel speed and waterjet
intake design. The engine speed tolerance at rated power is less than the waterjet
tolerance (+0.5%/-1.0% versus +/- 1.5%). This means there is a possibility for
the waterjet to be oversized or undersized if the maximum minus or plus speed
tolerance on the water jet is obtained at rated power.

2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

GENERAL

An oversized waterjet will cause the engine to operate at fuel stop rack (lug)
when the engine is set for the rated 2710 bkW at 1000 rpm. The engine speed
may be less than the minimum 990 rpm (-1.0% engine speed tolerance) required to
obtain power within the minus tolerance band with factory rack setting. The engine
can operate in lug continuously down to 980 rpm. However, the engine power
output will be out of the minus tolerance band.

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


An undersized waterjet will prevent the engine from reaching rated power at the
rated 1000 rpm. Engine speed may be increased to a maximum of 1015 rpm but
power output may still be below the minimum tolerance of 2670 bkW with the
factory rack setting. The rack setting may be changed to achieve a maximum
output of 2750 bkW at standard ambient conditions at 1015 rpm.

GENERAL

To minimize the possibility of a significantly oversized waterjet, the customer


and/or jet manufacturer may choose to use a different nominal jet sizing point than
the rated engine operating point (2710 bkW at 1000 rpm). By choosing a lower
nominal water jet rating at 1000 rpm, the jet speed tolerance band may be made to
fall entirely within the engine limits such that continuous lug operation is not
possible.

Contact Factory for applications needing additional limits

Exhaust heat rejection is based on fuel LHV to 25 C and is not normally recoverable in total

At 100% loads with pumps +/- 3% except where specified differently. Performance and fuel consumption are based on 35 API, 16 C fuel having a lower heating of 42,780 kJ/kg
used at 29 C with a density of 838.9 g/liter. Does not include sea water pump pa

Air Flows are shown for 25 C air inlet to the turbocharger and 32 C cooling water to the charge air cooler. Adjust aftercooler heat load for higher ambients using the Aftercooler
Heat Rejection Factors.

This engine's exhaust emissions are in compliance with the International Marine Organization's (IMO) standard as described in Regulation 13 of ANNEX VI of MARPOL, 73/79 and
ISO 8178 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx.

Normal variation in cylinder to cylinder exhaust port temperatures from the average of exhaust port temperatures for the engine.

Shallow oil pan is available for light weight option and dry sump option available where required.

Contact Factory for applications needing additional limits

Exhaust heat rejection is based on fuel LHV to 25 C and is not normally recoverable in total

At 100% loads with pumps +/- 3% except where specified differently. Performance and fuel consumption are based on 35 API, 16 C fuel having a lower heating of 42,780 kJ/kg
used at 29 C with a density of 838.9 g/liter. Does not include sea water pump pa

Air Flows are shown for 25 C air inlet to the turbocharger and 32 C cooling water to the charge air cooler. Adjust aftercooler heat load for higher ambients using the Aftercooler
Heat Rejection Factors.

This engine's exhaust emissions are in compliance with the International Marine Organization's (IMO) standard as described in Regulation 13 of ANNEX VI of MARPOL, 73/79 and
ISO 8178 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx.

Normal variation in cylinder to cylinder exhaust port temperatures from the average of exhaust port temperatures for the engine.

Shallow oil pan is available for light weight option and dry sump option available where required.

Contact Factory for applications needing additional limits

Exhaust heat rejection is based on fuel LHV to 25 C and is not normally recoverable in total

At 100% loads with pumps +/- 3% except where specified differently. Performance and fuel consumption are based on 35 API, 16 C fuel having a lower heating of 42,780 kJ/kg
used at 29 C with a density of 838.9 g/liter. Does not include sea water pump pa

Air Flows are shown for 25 C air inlet to the turbocharger and 32 C cooling water to the charge air cooler. Adjust aftercooler heat load for higher ambients using the Aftercooler
Heat Rejection Factors.

This engine's exhaust emissions are in compliance with the International Marine Organization's (IMO) standard as described in Regulation 13 of ANNEX VI of MARPOL, 73/79 and
ISO 8178 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx.

Normal variation in cylinder to cylinder exhaust port temperatures from the average of exhaust port temperatures for the engine.

Shallow oil pan is available for light weight option and dry sump option available where required.

Contact Factory for applications needing additional limits

Exhaust heat rejection is based on fuel LHV to 25 C and is not normally recoverable in total

At 100% loads with pumps +/- 3% except where specified differently. Performance and fuel consumption are based on 35 API, 16 C fuel having a lower heating of 42,780 kJ/kg
used at 29 C with a density of 838.9 g/liter. Does not include sea water pump pa

Air Flows are shown for 25 C air inlet to the turbocharger and 32 C cooling water to the charge air cooler. Adjust aftercooler heat load for higher ambients using the Aftercooler
Heat Rejection Factors.

This engine's exhaust emissions are in compliance with the International Marine Organization's (IMO) standard as described in Regulation 13 of ANNEX VI of MARPOL, 73/79 and
ISO 8178 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx.

Normal variation in cylinder to cylinder exhaust port temperatures from the average of exhaust port temperatures for the engine.

Shallow oil pan is available for light weight option and dry sump option available where required.

Exhaust heat rejection is based on fuel LHV to 25 C and is not normally recoverable in total

At 100% loads with pumps +/- 3% except where specified differently. Performance and fuel consumption are based on 35 API, 16 C fuel having a lower heating of 42,780 kJ/kg
used at 29 C with a density of 838.9 g/liter. Does not include sea water pump pa

Air Flows are shown for 25 C air inlet to the turbocharger and 32 C cooling water to the charge air cooler. Adjust aftercooler heat load for higher ambients using the Aftercooler
Heat Rejection Factors.

This engine's exhaust emissions are in compliance with the International Marine Organization's (IMO) standard as described in Regulation 13 of ANNEX VI of MARPOL, 73/79 and
ISO 8178 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx.

Normal variation in cylinder to cylinder exhaust port temperatures from the average of exhaust port temperatures for the engine.

Shallow oil pan is available for light weight option and dry sump option available where required.

Continuous prelube system requires lines group for continuous prelube (Contact factory if prelube not factory supplied)

Ratings are based on ISO 3046/1 and SAEJ1995 Jan 1990 standard reference conditions of 100 kPa, 25 C, and 30% relative humidity at the stated aftercooler water temperature

Contact Factory for applications needing additional limits

Exhaust heat rejection is based on fuel LHV to 25 C and is not normally recoverable in total
At 100% loads with pumps +/- 3% except where specified differently. Performance and fuel consumption are based on 35 API, 16 C fuel having a lower heating of 42,780 kJ/kg
used at 29 C with a density of 838.9 g/liter. Does not include sea water pump pa

Air Flows are shown for 25 C air inlet to the turbocharger and 32 C cooling water to the charge air cooler. Adjust aftercooler heat load for higher ambients using the Aftercooler
Heat Rejection Factors.

This engine's exhaust emissions are in compliance with the International Marine Organization's (IMO) standard as described in Regulation 13 of ANNEX VI of MARPOL, 73/79 and
ISO 8178 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx.

Normal variation in cylinder to cylinder exhaust port temperatures from the average of exhaust port temperatures for the engine.

Shallow oil pan is available for light weight option and dry sump option available where required.

Notes

Continuous prelube system requires lines group for continuous prelube (Contact factory if prelube not factory supplied)

Ratings are based on ISO 3046/1 and SAEJ1995 Jan 1990 standard reference conditions of 100 kPa, 25 C, and 30% relative humidity at the stated aftercooler water temperature

Contact Factory for applications needing additional limits

Exhaust heat rejection is based on fuel LHV to 25 C and is not normally recoverable in total

At 100% loads with pumps +/- 3% except where specified differently. Performance and fuel consumption are based on 35 API, 16 C fuel having a lower heating of 42,780 kJ/kg
used at 29 C with a density of 838.9 g/liter. Does not include sea water pump pa

Air Flows are shown for 25 C air inlet to the turbocharger and 32 C cooling water to the charge air cooler. Adjust aftercooler heat load for higher ambients using the Aftercooler
Heat Rejection Factors.

This engine's exhaust emissions are in compliance with the International Marine Organization's (IMO) standard as described in Regulation 13 of ANNEX VI of MARPOL, 73/79 and
ISO 8178 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx.

Normal variation in cylinder to cylinder exhaust port temperatures from the average of exhaust port temperatures for the engine.

Shallow oil pan is available for light weight option and dry sump option available where required.

Continuous prelube system requires lines group for continuous prelube (Contact factory if prelube not factory supplied)

Ratings are based on ISO 3046/1 and SAEJ1995 Jan 1990 standard reference conditions of 100 kPa, 25 C, and 30% relative humidity at the stated aftercooler water temperature

Contact Factory for applications needing additional limits

Exhaust heat rejection is based on fuel LHV to 25 C and is not normally recoverable in total
At 100% loads with pumps +/- 3% except where specified differently. Performance and fuel consumption are based on 35 API, 16 C fuel having a lower heating of 42,780 kJ/kg
used at 29 C with a density of 838.9 g/liter. Does not include sea water pump pa

Air Flows are shown for 25 C air inlet to the turbocharger and 32 C cooling water to the charge air cooler. Adjust aftercooler heat load for higher ambients using the Aftercooler
Heat Rejection Factors.

This engine's exhaust emissions are in compliance with the International Marine Organization's (IMO) standard as described in Regulation 13 of ANNEX VI of MARPOL, 73/79 and
ISO 8178 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx.

Normal variation in cylinder to cylinder exhaust port temperatures from the average of exhaust port temperatures for the engine.

Shallow oil pan is available for light weight option and dry sump option available where required.

Continuous prelube system requires lines group for continuous prelube (Contact factory if prelube not factory supplied)

Ratings are based on ISO 3046/1 and SAEJ1995 Jan 1990 standard reference conditions of 100 kPa, 25 C, and 30% relative humidity at the stated aftercooler water temperature

Contact Factory for applications needing additional limits

Exhaust heat rejection is based on fuel LHV to 25 C and is not normally recoverable in total

At 100% loads with pumps +/- 3% except where specified differently. Performance and fuel consumption are based on 35 API, 16 C fuel having a lower heating of 42,780 kJ/kg
used at 29 C with a density of 838.9 g/liter. Does not include sea water pump pa

Air Flows are shown for 25 C air inlet to the turbocharger and 32 C cooling water to the charge air cooler. Adjust aftercooler heat load for higher ambients using the Aftercooler
Heat Rejection Factors.

This engine's exhaust emissions are in compliance with the International Marine Organization's (IMO) standard as described in Regulation 13 of ANNEX VI of MARPOL, 73/79 and
ISO 8178 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx.

Normal variation in cylinder to cylinder exhaust port temperatures from the average of exhaust port temperatures for the engine.

Shallow oil pan is available for light weight option and dry sump option available where required.

Lubrication Oil System


General

The lube system is designed to provide a constant supply of filtered oil at 430
kPa pressure under all engine operating conditions. The major feature of the C280
lube system is the priority valve, shown in Figure 1, to regulate the oil pressure at
the cylinder block main oil gallery rather than at the oil pump. The oil gallery
pressure thus becomes independent of the oil filter and oil cooler pressure drops.
Priority Valve

Figure 1

Internal Lubrication System

Thermostats
Four thermostats in the lube system control the oil inlet temperature to 85C.
Oil Filters
The oil pan is equipped with a 650-micron suction screen. The duplex final 20micron lube oil filters can be changed while the engine is operating. The normal
procedure specifies the filters to be changed at 100 kPa pressure drop across the
filters.
2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

LUBRICATION OIL SYSTEM

Oil Coolers
The engines are equipped with an engine mounted two element lube oil cooler,
with the water flow arranged in series. A three element lube oil cooler is available
on vee engines to ensure proper cooling in high ambient conditions. These oil
coolers are in a shell and tube type design.

63

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


Centrifugal Bypass Filters
Engine mounted centrifugal bypass oil filters are installed as standard. The filters
receive 3-4% of the oil pump flow and remove solid, micron size particles and can
extend the oil filter change periods. The centrifugal filters each have a dirt capacity
of 3.6 kg (8 lb.). Typical cleaning intervals are outlined in the Maintenance Interval
Schedule section of this guide and discussed in detail in the Caterpillar Operation
and Maintenance Manual. An additional shipped loose lube oil centrifuge, customer
mounted off-package, can be provided to circulate the oil sump in order to extend
the oil life.
Oil Pumps
The engine driven oil pumps provide more than the required engine oil flow at
rated conditions. This allows high oil pressure early in the operating speed range
and provides flow margin.
Lube Oil Heaters
The Caterpillar lube oil heating system is a package mounted unit that is used in
combination with a jacket water heater. The typical package includes:

Circulating pump

Electric oil heater (9 kW for In-line engines and 11 kW for Vee engines)

Control panel, including pump control and temperature control, etc.

Lube oil heaters may be necessary when ambient temperatures are below 10C
(50F) or when quick start capability is required. In some applications, jacket water
heaters in conjunction with continuous prelubrication may satisfy lube oil heating
requirements; however, this method of heating should be carefully considered
before ordering.

Prelubrication

LUBRICATION OIL SYSTEM

Prelubrication is required for C280 series engines and several types of automatic
prelubrication systems are available from Caterpillar. These automatic prelubrication
systems include starting controls, electric or air powered pumps, a check valve and
engine piping. The prelube pumps, whether electric or air powered, must be
powered from a source independent of any single failure that could prohibit the
engine from starting. A check valve is used to prevent pressurized oil from flowing
through the prelube pump during engine operation.

64

Automatic prelubrication systems available for Caterpillar C280 diesel engines


are:

Redundant Prelube System (recommended system)

Intermittent Prelube System

Continuous Prelube System

Redundant Prelube System (recommended system)


The redundant prelube system combines electric continuous and pneumatic
intermittent prelube systems, offering the benefits of both. Under normal
circumstances, the electric continuous prelube pump keeps the engine ready for
immediate start-up, but if the electric continuous pump should fail, the pneumatic
2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

intermittent prelube pump will operate. This system is typically selected for
dynamic positioning rig applications (DP2 and DP3), when it is critical that an
engine is able to start.
Intermittent Prelube System
The pneumatic intermittent prelube system uses an engine mounted pump that is
engaged immediately prior to engine start-up, providing suitable performance for
applications not requiring quick start capability.
Continuous Prelube System
The electric continuous prelube system eliminates the delay of waiting for the
completion of the intermittent prelube cycle. This system is for immediate starting
applications and is typically used in conjunction with jacket water and lube oil
heating systems.
Postlubrication
C280 diesel engines have a standard postlubrication cycle of 60 seconds that
maintains the oil flow after engine shutdown to protect the turbocharger bearings.
However, an engine will not postlube if the Emergency Stop (E-Stop) button is
depressed to shutdown the engine. Since an oil leak could potentially require the
use of the E-Stop button, the postlube is disabled to stop the flow to a possible
leak. Since no postlube occurs with the use of the E-Stop button, it should be used
for emergency shutdowns only.

Generator Bearing Lube Oil System

The large generators packaged with C280 Series Generator Set packages will
typically require a forced bearing lubrication system, which typically utilizes a
mechanical generator-driven pump to supply lubrication to both front and rear
generator bearings.
Caterpillar supplies a Generator Lubrication Module (GLM) for Kato Generators to
provide for prelubrication of the generator bearings prior to start-up and to operate
in the event of the mechanical pump failure. The GLM is a prepackaged unit that is
typically base mounted, but can be remote mounted to suit site specific application
requirements. The typical GLM package includes:
Oil tank

Electric motor driven oil pump

Air operated oil pump

Oil cooler

Oil filter

Flow divider to split oil flow to bearings

Piping, valves and fittings on package

The redundant GLM air prelube pump is available for black start conditions and
will operate in parallel with the engine air prelube pump.

Oil Requirements

Due to significant variations in the quality and performance of commercially


available lubrication oils, Caterpillar recommends the oils listed in the following

The primary recommendation for the C280 family of engines is SAE 40-grade oil.
SAE 30 and some multigrade oils may be used if the application requires. SAE 30 is
preferable to multigrade oil.

LUBRICATION OIL SYSTEM

Total Base Number (TBN)


C280 engines operating on distillate fuel require a TBN of 10 times the sulfur
level measured in percent of weight. (Example: For a sulfur content of 1% weight,
the TBN would be 10.) The minimum TBN level regardless of the sulfur content is
5. Excessively high TBN or high ash oils should not be used in C280 Series engines
on distillate fuel, as these oils may lead to excessive piston deposits and loss of oil
control. Successful operation of C280 series engines has generally been obtained
with new TBN levels between 10 and 15.

66

Use of Commercial Oil


Caterpillar does not recommend the names of other commercial brands of lube
oils, but has established guidelines for their use. Commercially available lubrication
oils may be used in Caterpillar C280 Series Diesel Engines, but they must have
proof of performance in Caterpillars Field Performance Evaluation, included in
Caterpillar document SEBU7003, 3600 Series and C280 Series Diesel Engine Fluids
Recommendations.

Oil Change Interval

To achieve maximum life from the engine oil and provide optimum protection for
the internal engine components, a Scheduled Oil Sampling program (SOS) should
be used. This program is available through the Caterpillar dealer network. If an
2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

SOS analysis program is not available, the oil change interval is recommended in
accordance with the following table.

Scheduled Oil Sampling


TBN, viscosity and oil consumption trends must be analyzed every 250 hours.
The SOS analysis involves a two-part test program:
A) Wear Analysis
The Wear Analysis identifies engine wear elements present in the oil. These
elements indicate the condition of the engine.
B) Oil Condition Analysis.
The Oil Condition Analysis identifies the wear status of the oil. The program will
determine oil change intervals based on trend analysis and condemning limits
established for the engine.
Increasing Oil Change Intervals
Oil change intervals can only be increased when the SOS analysis indicates that
the condemning limits have not been reached, and only when trend lines indicate a
stable constant slope. Oil change intervals should only be increased in 250-hour
increments, especially in situations where the turn-around time for the oil analysis
is long.

Change Interval without Oil Analysis Results


If SOS analysis results are not available, the initial oil change interval should be
used to determine oil change intervals. Even though oil sampling results may not be
available on the recommended 250 hour intervals, oil samples should be analyzed
at every oil change period, even if the turnaround time for the data is long.

Inclination Capability

The standard marine propulsion engine oil pan is capable of meeting the
inclination criteria for installation angles (rear down), of 5 for the C280-6/C28012 engines and 3 for the C280-8/C280-16 engines.

Initial Oil Change Interval


The following table shows the required initial oil change volume based upon
engine type used and the standard oil sump size; typically an integral dry sump,

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


For marine auxiliary engine applications, the Caterpillar packages utilize a shallow
dry sump mounted on the engine, which gravity drains into a wet sump that is
integral to the base assembly. This design allows for a reduced engine room
footprint, eliminates the need for a second lube oil pump and provides 15 static
and 25 dynamic tilt capability. For generators supplied by others, generator
manufacturer is responsible for providing any forced lubrication system that may be
required for their generator to meet tilt requirements. For higher tilt requirements

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE

Crankcase Ventilation System


Crankcase Emissions

Crankcase emissions result from combustion byproducts and/or exhaust fumes


escaping around the piston rings and into the crankcase, commonly called blow-by.
If not controlled, this blow-by can contaminate the lube oil and pressurize the
crankcase, possibly leading to an oil leak.
Venting the emissions to the atmosphere is a simple solution to release the
pressure and trapped fumes. Managing the emissions, however, adds complexity to
crankcase ventilation systems.
Vent tubes and crankcase breathers are currently provided on the C280 diesel
engine and integral oil sump to allow this gas to escape. However, as emission
laws become more stringent, it is inevitable that crankcase emissions will be
included in total system emission values. In the future, ventilating crankcase
emissions to the atmosphere will be discouraged or prohibited.
Current C280 diesel engines still require that crankcase fumes be vented to
atmosphere. A closed-loop, on-engine crankcase filtration system (ingestive
system) for the C280 series diesel engine is currently not available. Contact the
factory for more details.

Crankcase Fumes Disposal

Do not vent crankcase and integral oil sump fumes into the engine room. The oily
fumes will have a tendency to clog air filters.

CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM

Crankcase fumes should be discharged directly to the atmosphere through a


venting system individual for each engine.

70

The engine has breathers located on each cylinder bank on the engine. Crankcase
fumes vent pipes must be of sufficient size to prevent the buildup of excessive
backpressure in the crankcase. Blow-by on a new engine will be approximately
0.02 m/hr-bkW (0.5 ft/hr bhp). The pipes should also be adequately sized to
accommodate a worn engine. Size the vent piping for 0.04 m/hr-bkW (1.0 ft/hr
bhp) with a maximum of 13 mm H2O (0.5 in. H2O) pressure drop in the piping.
Formulas for calculating backpressure can be found in the Crankcase Ventilation
section of the current Application and Installation Guide.
Loops or low points in a crankcase vent pipe must be avoided to prevent liquid
locks from the condensation in the pipe and thus restricting the discharge of fumes.
Where horizontal runs are required, install the pipe with a gradual rise of 41.7
mm/m, ( in/ft) slope from the engine. The weight of the vent pipes will require
separate off-engine supports as part of the installation design. Further additional
flexible connections will need to be installed to accommodate the engine
movement.
The pipe should vent directly into the atmosphere at a well-considered location
and be fitted with a gooseneck or similar arrangement to keep rain or water spray
from entering the engine. Consideration should also be given to other equipment

2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

located near the discharge area. If not located properly, the oil carryover can
accumulate over time and become unsightly.
An oil condensate trap, as shown on the following drawing, will minimize the
amount of oil discharged from the vent pipe.
The crankcase pressure should not vary more than 25.4 mm H2O (1.0 in. H2O)
of water from ambient barometric pressure. Measurement should be made at the
engine dipstick location with the engine at operating temperature and minimum at
80%-90% of rated load.

Fuel System
General

The fuel system utilizes unit injectors to deliver the correct amount of fuel to the
cylinder at the precise moment it is needed, enabling the C280 diesel engine to
produce maximum power at maximum efficiency with a minimum of exhaust
emissions.

Internal Fuel System

The main fuel system components are the engine driven transfer pump,
secondary duplex media type fuel filters (5 micron), fuel unit injectors and a fuel
backpressure regulator.
A manual fuel priming pump is also available. This pump is recommended if no
electrical priming pump is available.
Fuel Transfer Pump
The engine driven fuel transfer pump is a gear type pump that delivers the fuel
through the filters to the injectors. The recommended delivery pressure to the
injectors is 800 to 840 kPa (116 to 122 psi) at rated load and speed for C280
engines. The delivery pressure is controlled by adjusting the fuel pressure regulator
setting on site during commissioning of the engine. The pump is equipped with a
pump mounted safety valve and the fuel flow at rated rpm is listed in the technical
data and varies with engine speed. The pump is mounted on the left hand side.
Unit Injectors (EUI)
The electronically controlled fuel unit injectors combine the pumping, metering
and injecting elements into a single unit mounted in the cylinder head. External
manifolds supply low pressure fuel from the transfer pump to the cylinder heads.
High pressure lines are not used. A 100 micron edge type filter is built into each
unit injector.

External Fuel System Design Considerations

Diesel fuel supply systems must ensure a continuous and clean supply of fuel to
the engines fuel system. The fuel system is designed for distillate fuel, requiring
viscosity ranging from 1.4 cSt to 20 cSt at 38C (100F).The external fuel system
typically has three major components: a fuel storage system, a fuel transfer system
and fuel filtration system; and each of these systems demand careful attention to
ensure the success of each installation.
Fuel Storage System

2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

COOLING SYSTEM

Tank Location
The tanks should not exceed the height of the engine fuel injectors in order to
prevent possible leakage of fuel into the cylinders. If a higher position is
unavoidable, then an auxiliary fuel tank or head limiting tank may be required.
Otherwise, check valves with backpressures set to the fuel column height must be
installed. Caterpillar fuel transfer pumps lifting capability is equivalent to 40 kPa (6
psi) inlet restriction.

73

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


Fuel Transfer System
Line Restriction
The piping carrying fuel to the fuel transfer pump and the return line carrying
excess fuel to the tank should be no smaller than the engine connections. The
maximum inlet flow restriction is 20 kPa (3 psi) at rated speed. Air in the system
causes hard starting, erratic engine operation and will erode injectors.
Return Line
The return line should enter the top of the tank without shutoff valves. Bypass
(return) fuel leaving the engine pressure regulator should be returned to the engine
day tank. If the return fuel is cooled and not returned to the day tank, provisions
must be made to have the piping system vented for entrapped air and gasses.
Fuel Filtration System
Primary Fuel Filter
Caterpillar recommends the use of a primary filter/strainer prior to the engine
transfer pump and offers a duplex, primary filter (178 micron) for this purpose.
Water Separation
Caterpillar also recommends the use of a water and sediment separator in the
supply line ahead of the transfer pump, and offers a Racor filter/water separator for
this purpose.
Miscellaneous Fuel System Considerations
Flexible Connections
Connections to the engine must be flexible hose and must be located directly at
the engine inlet and outlet to accommodate engine motion.

COOLING SYSTEM

Fuel Temperature
Engines are power set at the factory with 30C 3C (86F 5F) fuel to the
engine transfer pump. Higher fuel temperatures will reduce fuel stop power
capability. The fuel stop power reduction is 1% for each 5.6C (10F) fuel
supply temperature increase above 30C (86F). If the engine is operating below
the fuel stop limit, the governor will add fuel as required to maintain the required
engine speed. The classification societies have a maximum return to tank fuel
temperature. This temperature is related to the fuel flash point. To obtain good fuel
filter life, the engine fuel supply temperature should be less than 40C (104F).
The minimum allowable viscosity of the fuel entering the engine is 1.4 cSt.

74

Fuel Coolers
The need for fuel coolers is project specific and depends greatly on day tank size
and location. See the following table for fuel heat rejection data.

Cooling System
General

The cooling system configuration for the Caterpillar C280 series diesel engine in
marine applications can be either the separate circuit system or the combined
circuit system, also referred to as the single circuit - two pump system. The
selection of either of these systems is based on several criteria:
1. Applicable emission requirements, i.e. EPA Tier 2 or IMO.
2. Available sea water temperature.
The heat rejection data in this project guide are based on 32C water to the
aftercooler and 45C air to the turbocharger inlet. The cooling system is laid out
for the following temperature levels:
1. 32C (90F) nominal water temperature to the aftercooler and oil cooler
(IMO allows 32C water with 25C ambient sea water; and EPA Tier 2
requires 32C water with 27C ambient sea water). Refer to the Heat
Exchanger Sizing Requirements for C280 Engines chart on page 78.
2. 90C (194F) nominal jacket water temperature to the cylinder block (93C
thermostatic valve is used for heat recovery applications).
3. 85C (185F) nominal oil temperature to bearings.

Internal Cooling System


Fresh Water Pumps
The C280 engine has two identical gear-driven centrifugal water pumps mounted
on the front housing. The right-hand pump (viewed from the flywheel end) supplies
coolant to the block and heads. The left-hand pump supplies coolant to the
aftercooler and oil cooler.

External Cooling System Design Considerations

2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

COOLING SYSTEM

Coolant Flow Control


The correct coolant flows are obtained by factory installed orifices on the engine,
combined with proper external circuit resistance set at each site during
commissioning, either with customer installed orifices or balancing valves, although
a lockable plug valve is recommended. The external circuit resistance setting
establishes the total circuit flow by balancing total circuit losses with the
characteristic pump performance curves. Correct external resistance is very
important. Too high a resistance will result in reduced flows to the aftercooler and
oil cooler, and their effectiveness will decrease. If there is too low a resistance, the
fluid velocity limits may be exceeded, and cavitation / early wear could be the
result.

77

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


Note: Factory packaged cooling systems eliminate the need for the customer to set
external resistance for engine cooling circuits at site. Proper flow rates for the
engine cooling circuits of a factory packaged cooling system are designed by
Caterpillar and tested during the Factory Acceptance Test.

Coolant Temperature Control


The C280 engine uses fluid inlet control temperature regulators to provide
uniform coolant temperature to the aftercooler, oil cooler, and cylinder block. For
the combined circuit system, the AC/OC circuit is externally regulated to provide a
nominal 32C (90F) coolant temperature. The high temperature jacket water
system uses the AC/OC outlet water to maintain 90C (194F) inlet water to the
block. For the separate circuit system, both the AC/OC and jacket water systems
are externally regulated, using sea water to maintain the required 32C (90F)
AC/OC and 90C (194F) jacket water temperatures.
Sea Water Pump (customer furnished)
The seawater pump is typically supplied by the customer because the optionally
supplied Caterpillar engine mounted sea water pump does not have sufficient
suction capability to lift water from sea level to the engine room on a typical
offshore platform.
Expansion Tanks
Expansion tanks are available from Caterpillar as standard options. The combined
circuit expansion tank is full flow. The separate circuit expansion tank is full flow
for the jacket water circuit and the AC/OC circuit is a shunt type connection. Note
that a single expansion tank is used to provide water and venting for both circuits.

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


Heat Exchangers
Caterpillar offers heat exchangers of the plate and frame type. Heat exchanger
sizing and performance depends on emission requirements, water flow and
temperature differential. Control of the sea water velocity must be maintained to
avoid erosion problems with the heat exchangers.
Heat Exchanger Sizing
The minimum acceptable heat exchanger configuration for either the separate
circuit system or combined circuit system must provide coolant temperature at the
AC/OC pump inlet in accordance with applicable emission requirements, and must
consider the following:
1. Maximum expected ambient temperature
2. Maximum engine power capability (rack stop setting)
3. Maximum expected sea-water temperature
4. Expected sea-water fouling factor
5. Anticipated coolant composition (i.e. 50% glycol).

COOLING SYSTEM

See the technical data section of this project guide for specific heat rejection
figures. For more reference, refer to the following Heat Exchanger Sizing Chart.

Jacket Water Heaters


Jacket water heaters may be required to meet cold starting and load acceptance
criteria. To provide for the optimum usage of the heater, Caterpillar routes the
heater water into the top of the cylinder block and exit at the bottom to maintain
block temperature. Caterpillar offers an optional 15 kW heater for C280-06 engine
installations, and a 30 kW heater for C280-08 and larger engine installations.
System Pressures
Correct cooling system pressure minimizes pump cavitation and increases pump
efficiency. The combination of static and dynamic pressure heads must meet the
pressure criteria listed in the technical data.
Venting
Proper venting is required for all applications. Vent lines should be routed to an
expansion tank at a constant upward slope.
System Monitoring
During the design and installation phase it is important that provisions are made
to measure pressure and temperature differentials across major system
components. This allows accurate documentation of the cooling system during the
commissioning procedure. Future system problems or component deterioration
(such as fouling) are easier to identify if basic data is available.
Serviceability
Suitable access should be provided for cleaning, removal or replacement of all
system components. Isolation valves should be installed as deemed necessary to
facilitate such work.
System Pressures and Velocities
The following pressure and velocity limits apply to C280 series engines:

Heat Recovery
Water Maker
For engines with a Combined Circuit Cooling System, heat recovery connections
are available with a 3-way thermostatic valve for the customer to route Jacket
Water (or High Temperature) Circuit water from the outlet of the engine block to a
water maker heat exchanger and then return the water to an inlet on the combined
circuit mix box (temperature regulator) on the engine. There are optional 93C
(199F) jacket water thermostats for heat recovery available. See connection
drawings on pages 86 and 87. Also available by DTO quotation is a single
connection (part number 102-3719) for the Vee engines to provide RH or LH
connection; Refer to the drawing on page 88 for this option. For engines with a
Separate Circuit Cooling System, heat recovery connections are not required, as
the Jacket Water (or High Temperature) Circuit is already isolated.
For both types of cooling systems, Caterpillar is able to provide a complete
cooling system to include a water maker heat exchanger, heat recovery circuit
temperature regulator and required piping to meet the customers project specific
needs.

Generator Cooling

Generators can be furnished either air cooled or water cooled. Air cooled
generators must be included in the ventilation system sizing considerations. Water
cooled generators are typically sea water cooled; Similar to the engines sea water
pump, the generator sea water pump will be customer furnished. This pump must
have sufficient suction capability to lift water from sea level to the engine room on
a vessel. Depending on the overall cooling system configuration, generator cooling
water can be supplied from a separate pump or combined with the engines sea
water pump supply capacity.

Cooling Water Requirements

COOLING SYSTEM

Water Quality, Rust Inhibitors and Antifreeze


Maintaining water quality is very important in closed cooling systems. Excessive
hardness will cause deposits, fouling and reduced effectiveness of cooling system
components. Caterpillar has available coolant inhibitor to properly condition the
cooling water. When using Caterpillar inhibitor, the cooling water piping must not
be galvanized and aluminum should not be used. If the piping is galvanized, the zinc
will react with the coolant inhibitor and form clogs, which will interfere with the
system operation.

Starting Air System


General

The Caterpillar C280 Series engine supplied air starting system includes TDI
turbine type air starters, air relay valve, solenoid valve, strainer, shut off valve and
optional pressure regulator, if required. One TDI turbine type air starter is needed
for inline and 12 cylinder engines, while two are needed for the 16 cylinder
engines. For starting with gear boxes and drive line loads attached to the engine
there are optional dual starters for the 12 cylinder and Heavy Duty single starters
available for the inline engines. The turbine driven air motor is highly reliable,
tolerant of debris and does not require external lubrication.

Engine Starting Air System

The standard TDI turbine starters operate on air inlet pressures from 6.2 to 10.4
bar (90 to 150 psi). These pressures are required at the starter inlet port. An air
tank pressure below 7 bar (100 psi) will generally not start the engine because of
the pressure drop associated with the air supply lines. For initial system evaluation,
assume a 2 bar (29 psi) pressure drop between the tank and the air starter inlet.
A pressure regulator (available as an option in the pricelist) is necessary when the
supply pressure exceeds the starter dynamic operating pressure. The pressure
regulator should be set from 6.2 to 10.4 bar (90 to 150 psi). Inline engines should
have the capacity to flow 450 l/sec (15.9 ft3/sec) per starter at regulator inlet
pressure of (90 psi) (regulators with a Cv factor of 40 or higher are required).
The quantity of air required for each start and the size of the air receiver depend
upon cranking time and air-starter consumption. A typical first start at 25C (77F)
ambient will take five to seven seconds. Restarts of warm engines normally take
place in three to four seconds. The control system will shut off the air to the air
starters at 170 rpm engine speed. At this firing speed, the governor is activated to
allow fuel to the engine.
Large or complex drive lines can increase starting air volume required by 20 or 30
percent depending on loads on the engine during starting. Gearbox designs can
have a significant impact on the starting loads if connected during starting
especially if driving a shaft driven generator.

Starting Air System Design Considerations

The size of the air receivers should be increased if the starting air receiver also
supplies air for purposes other than the main engine starting (e.g. engine air
prelube, work air, auxiliary gensets). The Caterpillar intermittent air prelube pump
consumption rate is 28.2 l/sec (1 ft3/sec) based on free air at 21C at 100 kPa
2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

STARTING AIR SYSTEM

The following charts are for estimating typical air receiver sizing for starting
anengine only. The chart shows the estimated number of starts available with an
initial starting air receiver pressure as shown on the curves. The starting air
receiver size is normally determined by the requirements of the classification
society for the number of starts or start attempts. Refer to the Air Supply Line
Sizing section for additional information.

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


(77F at 76 psi). The pump motor operating pressure is 690 kPa (100 psi). With
the redundant prelube system and the continuous prelube pump running at startup,
the pneumatic intermittent prelube pumps for the engine and generator will operate
for no longer than 15 seconds. For generator sets with pneumatic intermittent
prelube pump only, the prelube pump will normally operate 1 to 5 minutes before
the engine begins to crank.

Air Supply Line Sizing

TDI turbine starters must be supplied with clean dry air. Deposits of oil-water
mixture must be removed by traps installed in the lines. Lines should slope towards
the traps and away from the engine. Air supply lines should be routed and sized to
ensure adequate pressure and flow at the starter(s). As a general rule, the air
supply pipes should be short with number of elbows kept to a minimum to reduce
pressure loss to the starter.

For dual starting motor systems the customer connection is 3 inch ANSI flange. A
3 inch supply line size is minimum required.
A flexible connection between engine starting line and supply line should always
be used to prevent vibration induced fatigue.

2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

STARTING AIR SYSTEM

For single starting motor systems the customer connection is either 1 inch or 2
inch NPT. A 2 inch (minimum) supply line size is required and recommend a
customer-provided 3 inch supply air line for installations with more than 50 ft (15
m) of equivalent straight length of pipe from receiver or regulator to air starter.

103

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


If a pressure reducing valve is required, a valve with Cv40 should be used to
provide sufficient air flow. Locate the pressure reducing valve as close to the
engine as possible to minimize the air pressure reduction valve supply pipe
diameter. Water and oil must be removed frequently from air supply source to
prevent possible damage to the starting system components.

Combustion Air System


General

The aftercooler system is a High Performance Air Cooling (HPAC) system


designed in a modular layout. The aftercooler inlet section is insulated with a soft
wrap insulation to comply with Marine Society rules for surface temperature. The
top covers of the three aftercooler sections are provided with a screen for
protection and insulation. The flexible bellow joints are connected by means of Vshaped clamps and the use of metallic C-rings.
The maximum inlet air temperature to the turbocharger is 49C (120F). This
temperature is in accordance with the Marine Society rules for equipment
performance and will provide good engine component life. For temperatures above
30C (86F), the engine may be derated to a power output level that will provide
for safe engine operation; check with Caterpillar A&I Engineering.
The C280 Engine will normally draw engine combustion air in one of two ways:
1. The engine room is supplied with filtered air for engine combustion as well as
for removal of radiated heat from the engine room.
2. The engine room is supplied with ventilation air for engine heat removal and
the engine combustion air is supplied separately through a dedicated air
intake system, which provides filtered air for the combustion only.
Either system should be designed to provide sufficient clean air for combustion
and heat removal based on the ambient conditions and the maximum ratings for
each piece of installed equipment (i.e. marine auxiliary engines, pumps, and
switchgear). For classed vessels, the specific societies have well defined rules for
the design parameters.

Combustion Air System Design Considerations


Engine Room Supplied Air
The location and design of the engine room air intakes should consider the
following:
1. The supply air outlets should be close to and directed at the engine
turbocharger air intakes.

3. The engine room air inlets should be placed such that water or dirt cannot
enter.
Separate Combustion Air System
Supplying the engines with direct outside air for combustion if possible is
beneficial to the installation for a number of reasons. It will bring down the air
movement in the engine room, may reduce the cooling load on the charge air cooler
and thus reduce the maximum heating load on the cooling water heat exchanger.
This in turn will reduce the required sea water circulation in the system. Direct air
to the turbocharger inlet will provide a bigger margin to the point where engine load

COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEM

2. Additional air should flow along the engine, coupling, and reduction gear to
absorb the radiated heat.

105

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


reduction is needed due to high air inlet temperatures. It would be expected that if
the turbocharger inlets are supplied with engine room supplied air a temperature
rise above ambient of 5 to 10C (9 to 18F) would take place. By supplying the
engines with direct outside air the vessel will also save on the required fan work.
If the engine combustion air is supplied through a separate, dedicated air system,
the engine room design should consider the following.
1. The entire intake system, including clean air filters should have an initial
restriction of no greater than 122 mm H2O (4.8 in. H2O).
2. The maximum inlet restriction with dirty air filters should not exceed 380
mm H2O (15 in. H2O).
3. Flexible connections are necessary to isolate engine vibration from the
ducting system. Locate the flex connection as close to the engine as
possible, but be aware of the excessive heat generated by the exhaust
system.
4. Avoid supporting excessive lengths of ductwork off the turbocharger. The
maximum allowable moment on the turbocharger is 300 Nm (221 ft-lb).
5. Caterpillar has specially designed the air intake components to provide the
proper airflow pattern before the turbocharger. Turbocharger performance
may be adversely affected if these components are not used.
General
The amount of combustion air necessary for the C280 engine is specified in the
technical data section of this manual. The amount of radiated heat emitted by each
engine is also specified.

COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEM

Installations intended for operation in extreme cold may require heated air for
starting purposes. In addition, it may be necessary to control the inlet boost
pressure for cold air installations. Contact your Caterpillar dealer or the regional
Caterpillar representative for further information when extreme ambient conditions
are expected.

Engine Room Ventilation


General

Although not part of the Caterpillar Scope of Supply for a typical diesel generator
package, the engine room ventilation system is a vital part of a successful
installation. The two primary aspects of a properly designed engine room
ventilation system addressed in this document are cooling air and combustion air.

Cooling Air: The flow of air required to carry away the radiated heat of the
engine(s) and other engine room machinery.

Combustion Air: The flow of air required to burn the fuel in the engine(s).

Both of these have a direct impact on an engines or packaged units


performance, and must be considered in the design of an engine room ventilation
system. However, it is important to note that all equipment within the engine room
space, not only the diesel generator packages, must be given consideration in the
overall ventilation system design process.

Sizing Considerations
Cooling Air
Engine room ventilation air (cooling air) has two basic purposes:

To provide an environment that permits the machinery and equipment to


function properly with dependable service life.

To provide an environment in which personnel can work comfortably.

ENGINE ROOM VENTILATION

A small percentage of fuel consumed by an engine is lost to the environment in


the form of heat radiated to the surrounding air. In addition, heat from generator
inefficiencies and exhaust piping can easily equal engine radiated heat. Any
resulting elevated temperatures in the engine room may adversely affect
maintenance, personnel, switchgear, and engine or generator set performance. The
use of insulated exhaust pipes, silencer, and jacket water pipes will reduce the
amount of heat radiated by auxiliary sources.

110

Radiated heat from the engines and other machinery in the engine room is
absorbed by engine room surfaces. Some of the heat is transferred to atmosphere,
but the remaining radiated heat must be carried away by the ventilation system.
A system for exhausting ventilation air from the engine room must be included in
the ventilation system design. The engine(s) will not be able to carry all of the
heated ventilation air from the engine room by way of the exhaust piping.
Combustion Air
In many installations, combustion air is drawn from outside of the engine room
via ductwork, in which case, the combustion air is not a factor in the ventilation
system design calculations. However, many installations require that combustion
air be drawn directly from the engine room. In these installations, combustion air
requirements become a significant ventilation system design parameter. Engine
specific combustion air requirements can be found in the Technical Data section for
the specific engine and rating.

Ventilation Air Flow


Required ventilation air flow depends on the desired engine room air temperature
as well as the cooling air and combustion air requirements outlined above. While it
is understood that total engine room ventilation air flow must take all equipment
and machinery into account, the following sections provide a means for estimating
the air flow required for the successful operation of Caterpillar engines and
packages.
In general, changing the air in the engine room every one or two minutes will be
adequate, if flow routing is proper.
Provisions should be made by the installer to provide incoming ventilation air of
0.1 to 0.2 m3/min (4 to 8 cfm) per installed horsepower. This does not include
combustion air for the engines.

Engine Room Temperature

A properly designed engine room ventilation system will maintain engine room air
temperatures within 8.5 to 12.5C (15 to 22.5F) above the ambient air
temperature (ambient air temperature refers to the air temperature surrounding the
power plant, vessel, etc.). Maximum engine room temperatures should not exceed
49C (120F). If they do, then outside air should be ducted directly to the engine
air cleaners. The primary reason for cooling an engine room is to protect various
components from excessive temperatures. Items that require cool air are:

Electrical and electronic components

Air cleaner inlets

Torsional dampers

Generators or other driven equipment

Engine room for the engine operator or service personnel.

In larger multiple engine sites, the normal 8.5 to 12.5C (15 to 22.5F)
temperature rise guidelines for engine rooms may require unobtainable or
uncomfortable air velocities. For these larger sites, a ventilation system that gives
priority to the five items listed above and provides a bottom to top air flow can be
designed for a temperature rise of 17C (30F).

Ventilation Fans

In modern installations, except for special applications, natural draft ventilation is


too bulky for practical consideration. Adequate quantities of fresh air are best
supplied by powered (fan-assisted) ventilation systems.
Fan Location
Fans are most effective when they withdraw ventilation air from the engine room
and exhaust the hot air to the atmosphere. However, ideal engine room ventilation
systems will utilize both supply and exhaust fans. This will allow the system
designer the maximum amount of control over ventilation air distribution.

Fan Type
Ventilation fans are typically of the vane-axial, tube-axial or propeller type, or the
centrifugal type (squirrel cage blowers). The selection of fan type is usually
determined by ventilation air volume and pressure requirements, and also by space
limitations within the engine room. When mounting exhaust fans in ventilation air
discharge ducts, which are the most effective location, the fan motors should be
mounted outside the direct flow of hot ventilating air for longest motor life. The
design of centrifugal fans (squirrel cage blowers) is ideal in this regard, but their
size, relative to the vane-axial or tube-axial fans, sometimes puts them at a
disadvantage.
Fan Sizing
Fan sizing involves much more than just selecting a fan that will deliver the air
flow volume needed to meet the cooling air and combustion air requirements
determined earlier in this section. It requires a basic understanding of fan
performance characteristics and ventilation system design parameters.

Exhaust Fans

Ventilation air exhaust systems should be designed to maintain a slight positive or


negative pressure in the engine room, depending on the specific application.

2010 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

ENGINE ROOM VENTILATION

Similar to a centrifugal pump, a fan operates along a specific fan curve that
relates a fans volume flow rate (m3/min or cfm) to pressure rise (mm H2O or in.
H2O) at a constant fan speed. Therefore, fan selection not only requires that the
volume flow rate be known, but also that the ventilation distribution system be
known in order to estimate the system pressure rise. This information allows the
optimum fan to be selected from a set of manufacturers fan curves or tables.

113

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


Generally, maintaining a slight positive pressure in the engine room is
recommended, but should normally not exceed 50 Pa (0.2 in. H2O). This positive
pressure accomplishes several things:

It prevents the ingress of dust and dirt, which is especially beneficial for
those applications involving engines that draw their combustion air from the
engine room.

It creates an out draft to expel heat and odor from the engine room.

Some applications require that a slight negative pressure be maintained in the


engine room, but normally not in excess of 12.7 mm H2O (0.5 in. H2O). The excess
exhaust ventilation air accomplishes several things:

It compensates for the thermal expansion of incoming air.

It creates an in draft to confine heat and odor to the engine room.

Two Speed Fan Motors


Operation in extreme cold weather may require reducing ventilation airflow to
avoid uncomfortably cold working conditions in the engine room. This can be easily
done by providing ventilation fans with two speed (100% and 50% or 67%
speeds) motors.

Routing Considerations

Correct ventilation air routing is vital for creating and maintaining the optimum
engine room environment required to properly support the operation of Caterpillar
engines and packaged units. Maintaining recommended air temperatures in the
engine room is impossible without proper routing of the ventilation air.
Fresh air inlets should be located as far from the sources of heat as practical and
as high as possible; and since heat causes air to rise, it should be exhausted from
the engine room at the highest point possible, preferably directly over the engine.

ENGINE ROOM VENTILATION

Where possible, individual exhaust suction points should be located directly above
the primary heat sources in order to remove the heat before it has a chance to mix
with engine room air and raise the average temperature. However, it must be noted
that this practice will also require that ventilation supply air be properly distributed
around the primary heat sources.

114

Avoid ventilation air supply ducts that blow cool air directly toward hot engine
components. This mixes the hottest air in the engine room with incoming cool air,
raising the temperature of all the air in the engine room, and leaves areas of the
engine room with no appreciable ventilation.
For offshore applications, where the potential exists for sea water to be drawn
into the ventilation air supply, the combustion air should be delivered in a manner
that will preclude any sea water from being ingested by the turbochargers through
the air intake filters.
These General Routing Principles, while driven by the same basic principles of
heat transfer, will vary with the specific application. This section discusses the
general considerations relating to 1 and 2 engine applications, multiple engine (3+)
applications, and several special applications.
2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

1 and 2 Engine Applications


These applications will generally require smaller engine rooms, which may
sometimes preclude the use of good routing practices.
Recommended ventilation systems for these applications, presented in order of
preference, are described below:
Ventilation Types 1 and 2 (Preferred Design)
Outside air is brought into the engine room through a system of ducts. See Figure
1. These ducts should be routed between engines, at floor level, and discharge air
up at the engines and generators. The most economical method is to use a service
platform, built up around the engines, as the top of this duct. See Figure 2.
This requires the service platform to be constructed of solid, nonskid plate rather
than perforated or expanded grating. The duct outlet will be the clearance between
the decking and oilfield base.
Ventilation air exhaust fans should be mounted or ducted at the highest point in
the engine room. They should be directly over heat sources.
This system provides the best ventilation with the least amount of air required. In
addition, the upward flow of air around the engine serves as a shield which
minimizes the amount of heat released into the engine room. Air temperature in the
exhaust air duct will be higher than engine room air temperature.
Ventilation Type 3 (Alternate Design)
If Ventilation Types 1 or 2 are not feasible, the following method is
recommended; however, it will require approximately 50% more air flow:
Outside air is brought into the engine room as far away as practical from heat
sources, utilizing fans or large intake ducts. The air is discharged into the engine
room as low as possible. See Figure 3. Allow air to flow across the engine room
from the cool air entry point(s) toward sources of engine heat such as the engine,
exposed exhaust components, generators, or other large sources of heat.
Ventilation air exhaust fans should be mounted or ducted at the highest point in
the engine room. Preferably, they should be directly over heat sources.
Engine heat will be dissipated with this system, but a certain amount of heat will
still radiate and heat up all adjacent engine room surfaces.

This system will work only where the air inlets circulate the air between the
engines, for 2 engine applications. Air inlets located at the end of the engine room
will provide adequate ventilation to only the engine closest to the inlet.
Ventilation Type 4 (Alternate Design)
If Ventilation Types 1, 2 or 3 are not feasible, the following method can be used;
however, it provides the least efficient ventilation and requires approximately 2.5
times the air flow of Ventilation Types 1 and 2:
Outside air is brought into the engine room using supply fans, and discharged
toward the turbocharger air inlets on the engines. See Figure 4.
2010 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

ENGINE ROOM VENTILATION

If the air is not properly routed, it will rise to the ceiling before it gets to the
engines.

115

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


Ventilation exhaust fans should be mounted or ducted from the corners of the
engine room.
This system mixes the hottest air in the engine room with the incoming cool air,
raising the temperature of all air in the engine room. It also interferes with the
natural convection flow of hot air rising to exhaust fans. Engine rooms can be
ventilated this way, but it requires extra large capacity ventilating fans.

Ventilation Type 3

Figure 3
Ventilation Type 4

Figure 4

In general, the recommended ventilation systems outlined for 1 and 2 engine


applications also apply to multiple engine applications. However, there are several
additional considerations that are specific to multiple engines.
As previously mentioned, the application of normal temperature rise guidelines for
determining large multiple engine site ventilation requirements will generally result
in extremely large volumes of air. Therefore, the guidelines used for these sites are
significantly more generous; however, even with the increased temperature rise
allowed, the ventilation requirements will be significant. Large multiple engine sites
will generally utilize multiple ventilation fans, often using one or two fans for each
engine. This practice allows for a very simple arrangement requiring minimal
ductwork.

ENGINE ROOM VENTILATION

Multiple Engine (3+) Applications


Multiple engine applications, involving three or more engines or packaged units,
will generally require larger engine rooms than those needed for 1 and 2 engine
applications.

117

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


The use of multiple ventilation fans, either supply or exhaust, will require that air
flow between the engines be arranged, either by fan placement or by distribution
ductwork. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show examples of correct and incorrect air flow
patterns for multiple engine sites.

Exhaust System
General

The C280 engine uses a pulse exhaust manifold system. The front and rear three
cylinders are connected to separate turbine inlets.

Exhaust System Design Considerations


Exhaust Backpressure Limits
The total C280 exhaust backpressure limit is 254 mm H2O (10 in H2O). This level
was established with an emphasis on low specific fuel consumption and exhaust
valve temperatures. Therefore, to achieve proper performance of the engine, the
exhaust backpressures must be kept below this limit.
System backpressure should be measured in a straight length of the exhaust pipe
at least 3 to 5 pipe diameters away from the last size transition from the
turbocharger outlet. System backpressure measurement is part of the engine
commissioning.
Turbochargers
For the single turbocharger 6 cylinder engine and the two turbocharger 12
cylinder engine, the turbochargers are located at the flywheel end of the engine.
The turbocharger exhaust outlet is rectangular with an area equivalent to 311 mm
(12 in.) diameter. A cast adapter mounts to each turbocharger to provide a 355
mm (14 in.) diameter customer connection point. Optional attachments for these
turbochargers include 355 mm (14 in.) diameter flexible bellows, expansion
transitions from 355 mm (14 in.) to 457 mm (18 in.) diameter, 457 mm (18 in.)
diameter bellows, and exhaust flanges with bolting and mounting hardware.
For the single turbocharger 8-cylinder engine and the two turbocharger 16cylinder engine, the turbochargers are located at the flywheel end of the engine.
The turbocharger exhaust outlet is 355 mm (14 in.) diameter with cast adaptors
mounted to each turbocharger to provide a 457 mm (18 in.) diameter customer
connection point. Optional attachments for these turbochargers include 355 mm
(14 in.) diameter flexible bellows, 457 mm (18 in.) diameter bellows, and exhaust
flanges with bolting and mounting hardware.
Additionally, there is an optional two turbocharger 16-cylinder engine with the
turbochargers mounted opposite the flywheel end of the engine for a front mounted
turbo engine configuration. This engine includes the same cast adaptors and
options as the previously mentioned rear mounted turbo engine configuration.

Exhaust Slobber (Extended Periods of Low Load)


Prolonged low load operation should be followed by periodic operation at higher
load to burn out exhaust deposits. Low load operation is below 400 kPa bmep (58
2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

The exhaust bellows are intended to compensate for thermal growth and
movement of the engine. The exhaust system structure immediately after the
engine exhaust bellows must be a fixed, rigid point. The supplied exhaust bellows
will only handle the engine movement and thermal growth. No additional external
loading is allowed on the turbochargers.

119

C280 MARINE PROJECT GUIDE


psi bmep) (approximately 20% load, depending on rating). The engine should be
operated above 800 kPa bmep (116 psi bmep) (about 40% load, depending on
rating) periodically to burn out the exhaust deposits. The amount of additional time
depends upon the engine configuration, water temperature to the aftercooler, inlet
air temperature to the engine and type of fuel.
Engine Operation at Idle or Low Load Conditions
Absolute Idle (declutched and/or disconnected):

Maximum of 10 minutes if the engine is going to be stopped 3 to 5


minutes of idling is recommended prior to shutdown.

Maximum of 4 hours if the engine is to be loaded after idling.

Operation below 10% load on recommended distillate diesel fuels:

Engine can be run for 100 hours, and then should be taken to a minimum
load of 70% for 1 hour; then the engine can be returned to idle at the low
load condition.

Operation above 10% load on recommended distillate diesel fuels:

No restrictions

Exhaust Piping
A common exhaust system for multiple installations is not acceptable. An exhaust
system combined with other engines allows operating engines to force exhaust
gases into engines not operating. The water vapor condenses in the cold engines
and may cause engine damage. Additionally, soot clogs turbochargers, aftercoolers,
and cleaner elements. Valves separating engine's exhaust systems are also
discouraged. High temperatures warp valve seats and soot deposit causes leakage.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

The exhaust pipe diameter is based on engine output, gas flow, and length of
pipe and number of bends. The maximum gas velocity should not exceed 50 m/s
(164 ft/sec) at full load. Sharp bends should be avoided, and where necessary,
should have the largest possible radius. The minimum radius should be 1 pipe
diameters. The piping should be as short as possible and insulated. The insulation
should be protected by mechanical lagging to keep it intact. All flexible exhaust
fittings should be insulated using removable quilted blankets. It is recommended to
provide the system with a valve drain arrangement to prevent rainwater from
entering the engine during prolonged shutdown periods. For testing purposes, the
exhaust system must have a test port installed after the turbocharger outlet. This
test port should be a 10 to 13 mm (0.39 to 0.51 in.) plugged pipe welded to the
exhaust piping and of sufficient length to bring it to the outer surface of the
insulated piping.

120

Exhaust piping must be able to expand and contract. It is required that one fixed
point be installed directly after the flexible exhaust fitting at the turbocharger
outlet. This will prevent the transmission of forces resulting from weight, thermal
expansion or lateral displacement of the external exhaust piping from acting on the
turbocharger.

cylinder engine, the turbocharger exhaust outlet is rectangular with an area
equivalent to 311 mm (12 in.) diameter.
For the single turbocharger 8-cylinder engine and the two turbocharger 16cylinder engine, the turbocharger exhaust outlet is 355 mm (14 in.) diameter with

customer connection point.

Engine Monitoring and Shutdown


Engine Shutdown

The C280 engine is installed with shutdown protection for overspeed, low
lubrication oil pressure, high crankcase pressure, high jacket water temperature,
and Metal Particle Detection. High oil mist level alarm and/or shutdown are
available as an option to satisfy marine societies which typically require this feature
on engines above 2250 bkW. In addition, the engine can be shut down through the
electrical control system via emergency shutdown buttons installed as required by
the Marine Classification Society on the bridge and the engine control panel. For
the shutdowns, the engine is stopped via the shutdown solenoid in the governor.
However in case of an overspeed or activated emergency stop button, the engine
will be stopped by an emergency air shutoff system. Both of these measures are
taken as a precaution and to fulfill society requirements.
The engine safety system is operationally independent from the monitoring
system. That means the engine will shut down for the safety functions, high
crankcase pressure, overspeed and low lubrication pressure even when the PLC is
not operational.

Engine Monitoring

Engine monitoring switches and analog sensors (4-20 mA transmitters, RTDs,


switches, and thermocouples) can vary from one installation to the next.

ENGINE MONITORING AND SHUTDOWN

Pressure Sensors
The engine is installed with a sensor package in accordance with the sensor list
enclosed. The pressure sensors are generally mounted on a common panel on
either the front or side of the engine.

132

Temperature Sensors
The exhaust temperature sensors are thermocouples and the remaining sensors
are RTD's (PT100).
Engine Control Panel
The Engine Control Panel contains the PLC, start / stop logic and man-machine
interface (MMI) touch screen for displaying the operating parameters. The operator
is able to view engine parameters from different screens for each system (exhaust,
water, and air) on the engine. The various screens are called to view by buttons
located at the bottom of each screen. All the engine parameters are further
available to the vessel control system via P/C communications.
The monitoring and alarm functions listed in the instrumentation list overleaf are
typical for a C280 Marine engine supply, Marine Classification Society with
notation: Unmanned Machinery Space (UMS).

Engine Mounting and Foundation Design


Propulsion Engine Mounting and Foundation

This section discusses propulsion engine and reduction gear foundations and their
relationship to ship framing.
Exact analytical methods cannot always be used to design engine foundations.
The design is also influenced by several factors, including previous successful
installations, the designer's experience, and the basic dimensions of the specific
engine being installed. Refer to this guide for specific information on C280 Engine
weights and dimensions.
The engine foundation must resist vertical, horizontal and fore-and-aft deflection.
It should also be integrated into the reduction gear foundation to connect the
overall structure to the ship's inner bottom structure. In this manner, the thrust
from the propeller, and the dynamic forces from the main engine and reduction gear
are evenly distributed over a large area of the inner bottom structure. If the engine
foundation has too little resistance against deflection, it may show up during the
alignment of the engines as the mount depressions may be influenced by the
combination of foundation deflection and engine forces, and may be out of
tolerance.
The main engine foundation must have sufficient rigidity to transmit static and
dynamic forces from the main engine into the foundation.
The girder and faceplate must:
increase bending inertia of the structure

facilitate chock installation

provide a "work shelf" for servicing the side of the engine

permit installation of side blocks and collision chocks

The main engine and reduction gear foundation must also be designed to absorb
the loads from:

ship's vibration

propeller thrust

thrust and torque of the engine

ships motion at sea

thermal, static and dynamic effects

crash reversal

Because the loads originate from sources other than the engine, the foundation
sections should be uninterrupted and have adequate section strength.
To avoid natural frequency resonance between engine and hull, the engine's 1st
and 2nd order free forces and moments must be taken into account when
designing the mounting structure. The ship builder must ensure that resonance
between torque excitation and the natural transverse hull frequencies does not

occur. Caterpillar will supply engine 1st and 2nd order free forces and moments,
upon request.
The engine foundation must have sufficient rigidity to minimize shafting and
coupling deformation between the engine and gear.

Auxiliary Engine/Package Mounting and Foundation

This section describes packaged generator set foundations and their relationship
to platform framing.
Exact analytical methods cannot always be used to design foundations. The
design is also influenced by several factors, including previous successful
installations, the designer's experience, and the basic dimensions of the specific
package being installed.
C280 packaged generator set weights can vary from 38,900 kg (86,000 lb) for a
6-cylinder, low voltage package with air cooling (excluding radiator weight) up to
95,500 kg (210,000 lb) for a 16-cylinder, high voltage package including a platetype heat exchanger cooling system and generator forced lubrication module.
The generator set foundation must resist vertical, horizontal and fore-and-aft
deflection. If the engine foundation has too little resistance against deflection, it
may show up during the alignment of the engines as the mount depressions may
be influenced by the combination of foundation deflection and engine forces, and
may be out of tolerance.
The generator set foundation must have sufficient rigidity to transmit static and
dynamic forces from the package into the foundation.
Mounting
C280 packaged generator sets are furnished on Caterpillar designed rigid bases in
order to maintain alignment between engine, generator and other engine driven
equipment, and must be mounted on spring isolators unless hard mounting has
been approved by Caterpillar.

Generators
General
Caterpillar C280 Marine Generator Sets (Auxiliary and Diesel Electric Propulsion
(DEP)), are packaged with free-standing two-bearing generators, matched to the
engine output to provide the customer maximum electrical output to meet their
requirements, as well as marine classification requirements for the application.
Generator specifications and generator testing requirements will need to be
reviewed during the pre-sale phase of the project and established prior to order
placement. Options to be considered should include sub-transient reactance needed
to meet transient responses required and type of current transformers to be
mounted and supplied for the project.
For generators supplied by others, generator manufacturer is responsible for
providing any forced lubrication system that may be required for their generator to
meet tilt requirements.

C280 Genset Witness Test Description

Caterpillar C280 engines have an option for Witness Testing to be conducted in


the Lafayette Package test cells. No customers or dealer personnel are allowed in
the test cell while the engines are running, and no customer instrumentation may
be connected to the engines, packages, or test cell data acquisition and reporting
systems.
Standard testing includes a load test, transient response test, and vibration test,
described as follows:
1. The load test uses 0.8 PF unless otherwise noted, and is recorded at 30 minute
intervals.

30 minutes @ 50% rated load

30 minutes @ 75% rated load

120 minutes @ 100% rated load

60 minutes @ 110% rated load, 1.0 PF


The cylinder and exhaust temperatures are manually recorded. All other
data is recorded electronically and printed by computer.

2. The transient response test is performed at 0.8 PF with load stepping from 0%
to 100% ekW, with pre-determined intervals depending on engine frequency,
then back to 0%, with examples as follows:

For 900 rpm (60 Hz) C280-16 or 3616 engines:


o 0% - 1700 ekW - 2880 ekW - 3840 ekW - 100% - 0%

For 1000 rpm (50 Hz) C280-16 or 3616 engines:


o 0% - 1900 ekW - 3210 ekW 4275 ekW - 100% - 0%

3. The vibration test is taken at 0% and 100% load, and printed by computer. This
is a 14-point, 1-dimensional test around the operating genset package to ensure
no unusual vibration is occurring on the as-built configuration.
The standard testing also includes the following data as obtained through the
data acquisition system.

Storage Preservation Specification

This specification describes methods and materials used to provide for the
preservation of engines as defined in Caterpillar Document No. 1E2566, Processing
Engine Preservation. These procedures are intended for all C280 engines.
Preservation Procedures

MISCELLANEOUS

1E2566L Processing (After Assembly and Test)


All parts should be prepared and painted according to 1E2001.

142

Fill Engine Jacket Water (EJW) system with a solution of 20% VCI 379 and
80% water or equivalent solution. A regulator bypass line must be used to allow
filling on both sides of the regulator. Vent and EJW system at the highest point
possible to assure complete filling.

For engines with Separate Circuit Aftercooler (SCAC) systems fill the SCAC
system with a solution of 20% VCI 379 and water or equivalent solution. Vent
the SCAC system at the highest point possible to assure complete filling.

Drain the VCI solution from the EJW system at multiple locations to assure
complete drainage. (EJW pump, 10 block face cover, oil cooler, etc.)

Drain the VCI solution from engines with SCAC system at the SCAC water
pump. Close all EJW and SCAS system openings with the parts specified on
engineering drawings.

Spray a mixture of 50% 1 E2359 VCI oil and 50% engine oil into the air intake
or turbocharger inlet. Minimum application rate is 7.5 mL/L of engine
displacement. Install covers specified on engineering drawing to seal in VCI
vapors.

Spray a mixture of 50% 1E2359 VCI oil and 50% engine oil into the exhaust
opening. Minimum application rate is 7.5 mL/L of engine displacement. Install
covers specified on engineering drawing to seal in VCI vapors.

Fill oiler reservoir for air starter with a mixture of 50% 1 E2359 VCI Oil and
50% engine oil.

All other lubricating oil compartments are to be protected by 1E2359 VCI Oil by
one of the following methods:

Run the engine for the final 3 to 5 minutes with oil which has 3 to 4% of 1
E2359 VCI Oil by volume. This oil may be drained or left in the engine. Seal VCI
vapors in the engine with covers specified on engineering drawings.

The vapor phase of the VCI oil evaporates rapidly at engine operating
conditions. If further instructions are needed, consult with the Engineering
Materials Section of the Engine Division.

Install a mixture of 50% 1 E2359 VCI Oil and 50% engine oil in the lubricating
oil compartments at the rate of 1 part of mixture per 15 parts of compartment
capacity at full level. Seal VCI vapors in the engine with covers specified on
engineering drawings.

2012 Caterpillar All rights reserved.

This method can be used with an empty or partially filled lubricating oil
compartment. If the compartment is already full, it may be necessary to drain
some lubricant to facilitate the addition of the mixture.

Install 30 mL of a mixture of 50% 1 E2359 VCI and 50% engine oil in each
cylinder and rotate crankshaft two turns. Tighten all fittings to the correct
torque. Check the fuel system to verify that it is full of fuel. Install covers
specified on engineering drawing to seal in fuel and vapors.

Spray a thin film of mixture of 50% 1 E2359 VCI Oil and 50% engine oil on the
flywheel, ring gear, and starter pinion. To seal in vapors, install the covers
specified on engineering drawings for the flywheel housing and starter opening,
and the plugs specified for through holes.

Apply a heavy coating of 1 E0325 Grease to the bearing surfaces of all pin and
joint connections and other non-painted surfaces.

All tapped holes must be protected by painting or by applying MS2254 Coating


or equivalent. Tapped holes shall be free of water before applying MS2254
Coating or equivalent and sealed with a tightly fit plastic plug or equivalent.
