Summary
This publication has been written to provide information to the dealers for testing engines on a dynamometer. For proper operation and safety, an engine should be tested in an approved facility for dynamometers. The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (CAT ET) will allow control and monitoring of the engine through the master ECM without derating the engine. A recording device will need to be set up to document the test results. The CAT ET does not record the data. No additional gauges are needed to monitor the engine. Emergency shutdown systems for low oil pressure and high engine temperature are recommended. The facilities for dynamometers are discussed in SEBD0642 Engine Dynamometer Facilities. A dynamometer is a specialized tool that provides the final level of quality assurance for testing an out-of-frame engine assembly or an in-chassis engine assembly.
If you do not use the CAT ET to monitor the C175 Engine, a set of gauges will be required. Extra gauges for the oil pressure, the fuel pressure, the aftercooler temperature, and the jacket water coolant temperature must be installed to monitor the C175 Engine. For additional information about the recommended gauges, refer to the Product Bulletin, SEBD0642, "Engine Dynamometer Facilities", "Instrument Specifications".
An engine test is used to show that the following three conditions have been met.
(1) The components that affect engine performance were manufactured properly.
(2) The engine was assembled properly.
(3) The engine settings are correct.
A dynamometer test is used to detect failure of engines and to cause failure during testing of engines that do not meet the above criteria.
If the fuel system settings are correct the settings should not be altered in an attempt to change power, torque, fuel rates, specific fuel consumption, boost, or any other performance characteristic. If the fuel system settings are correct, conflict in any of the performance characteristics demonstrates a faulty component or an improper assembly of components. This problem should be corrected. The defect should not be hidden by improperly altered fuel system settings, which will require additional adjustments later in the shop. An engine with the proper power and with improper fuel system settings is a faulty engine.
In addition to the specified performance characteristics, other characteristics of the engine will be observed. Some other observations are listed below.
- blowby
- slobber
- combustion gas leakage into the cooling system
- leaks in the exhaust system
- leaks in the air inlet system
- excessive vibration
- unusual noise
Any engine that exhibits abnormalities in any detrimental area is a faulty engine. A report from an engine test, which shows no discrepancies in any of the performance characteristics, is not the only criteria of an acceptable engine. The engine must meet the individual specifications for engine performance found in the Technical Marketing Information (TMI) under General Engine Data (Engine Test Specifications).

General Instructions
These procedures on preparing the engine for testing have been developed with the input from several important personnel and experienced operators.
Engine Test
All characteristics of engine performance that are specified in TMI or in this bulletin will be monitored to ensure conformance to those specifications. The use of an additive in the engine oil that will aid in the detection of oil leaks is permitted.
Criteria for Retesting Engines
It is sometimes necessary to rework an engine after the engine has completed dynamometer testing in accordance with this bulletin. To ensure proper performance, the engine must be retested if one of the following criteria is met.
(1) Engines will be retested after any changes to the settings or components affecting airflow through the engine, fuel injected into the engine, or the combustion process.
Note: Not included is the removal of engine components not related to the performance of the engine. Such as external covers, plugs, levers, and similar components.
(2) The engine must be rested if any disassembly and reassembly of the engine which potentially affects the mechanical integrity of the engine or leakage from the engine take place. To include, bringing the outlet temperature of the engine water to the normal value for full load and checking for leakage from the engine.
Records of Tests
The engine test record will list the details of assembly, discrepancies in the test, and the action that has been done to correct each one. The engine test record will also include the data in the required performance data which is shown in the section “Performance Test” under Diesel Engines and Spark Ignited Engines. Including performance problems and problems with parts.
Correction Factors of Engine Performance
The correction factors for engine performance found in "Appendix D (Correction Factors for Engines)" will be used to correct observed engine performance (power, torque, fuel rates, and specific fuel consumption).
(1) The correction factors for the inlet air pressure will be based on readings from a dry barometer. These values are determined frequently to keep the values within the allowed accuracy and the measured inlet air restriction.
(2) The correction factors for the inlet air temperature are based on the temperature measured in the air supply line to each engine.
(3) The correction factor for the density of the fuel inlet will be based on the fuel density. These values are determined frequently to stay within the accuracy required for each measurement that is shown in the chart of tolerances for maximum performance.
Air Supply
The inlet air to the engine will be filtered. The inlet air will be drawn from outside the engine test cell so the ambient air conditions are not affected by engine operation. The inlet air will then be conveyed to the engine through the appropriate piping. The inlet air restriction of the air cleaner and air piping must not be more than the limit shown in the TMI General Engine Data (Engine Test Specifications).
Diesel
(1) The fuel for the test will be in accordance with the specifications that are given in "Appendix F (Requirements for Diesel Fuel)". Engine power, torque, and fuel rates will be corrected for variation in the fuel density from 35.0 API (American Petroleum Institute). The use of a fuel additive is permitted to control white smoke.
(2) The pressure of the fuel supply at full load to the engine fuel inlet will be constant, and the pressure will not be more than
Note: If the fuel temperature does not exceed
(3) The fuel supply and return lines will be vented to the atmosphere in a manner, which permits any gas in the fuel to be monitored and released. If there is a detectable fuel leak in any metered fuel, the readings for the fuel rate will not be correct. If the performance test reaches the point of full load and visible gas is being discharged from the fuel system the test is considered invalid.
Natural Gas
All performance tests will be made with fuel conforming to dry processed natural gas that has a low heating value determined within ± 1%. The corrected specific fuel consumption will be calculated by using this measured value.
Cooling Water
- Cooling water will be the following temperatures.
- The outlet for the engine water is from
95 °C (203.0 °F) to101 °C (213.8 °F) . - The inlet for the separate circuit aftercooler is any specified temperature from
30° ± 3°C (86.0° ± 5.4°F) to55° ± 3°C (131.0° ± 5.4°F) .
Note: The simulation of an aftercooler may be used on the engines that were not previously tested with an aftercooler. See the individual engine performance specification in TMI for the requirements on the inlet manifold temperature. The heat exchanger that is used for simulation has an air pressure drop from
7 kPa (28.1 inch of H2O) to14 kPa (56.3 inch of H2O) . Any differential in the coolant pressure or temperature through the heat exchanger is permitted. - The outlet for the engine water is from
- The restriction of the flow of coolant in the water cooling system of the facility that is used for testing will be low enough so that the rise of the temperature of the coolant between the inlet of the engine jacket water pump and the outlet of the water will be no more than
12 °C (53.6 °F) . The engine performance specifications for some engines with an abnormally high heat rejection may require a rise in temperature greater than12 °C (53.6 °F) . - The flow rates for the separate circuit aftercooler will agree with the performance part number for the individual engine.
Note: ATAAC Pressure drop limit for factory has been changed from 5 14 kPa.
Exhaust Pressure
The test facility exhaust system will create a static pressure at the outlet of the engine exhaust of
NOTICE |
---|
For Tier IV engines, exhaust back pressure may need to be applied during dyno testing per the 0K spec to prevent over-speeding the turbo. Refer to Section "Tier IV Engine Testing". |
Mechanical Engine Speed Control
The torque of
Note: Other special tests may be specified for engine attachments such as brake savers, duplex oil filter controls, torque limiters, prelube systems, special governors, and governor controls.
Electronic Engine Speed Control
Electronic Engines can be controlled either by using a speed override command or by using the engine harness throttle input. A speed override command uses Cat ET, and an engine throttle input requires a PWM input.
When mounted on the pedal and level, the target duty cycle should be as shown in Table 4. However, the possibility exists to deviate from these values by adjusting the throttle configuration within ET.
All PWM sensors used should have a sinking driver with a frequency of 500Hz (± 50Hz). The sensor must give a valid output within 150 ms of the main power being supplied to the sensor.
PWM Throttle Parameter Configuration | |
---|---|
Position | Acceptable Signal Duty Cycle Range |
Released (Low Idle) | 10% to 22% |
Fully Depressed | 75% to 90% |
Oil Mini Patch Kit
Oil Patch Kit should be used to monitor your engine oil for debris as the engine begins to break in. This allows the dyno technician to monitor the oil via the patch kit vs removing and cutting oil filters to inspect for debris. The Oil Patch can also help identify cleanliness of a dealer rebuild by catching particles that are present in the oil during engine operation.
Oil Mini Patch FT3569

Oil Supply should have a shut off valve as well as the return line. This allows the isolation of the coupling to remove the patch. Be sure that the oil supply is coming from a pre-filter supply. The return is best routed into the crankcase. A modified valve cover or, for larger engines, a side cover has proven to work well.

Engine Test Specifications
The nominal engine test specifications (nominal specifications) are those values that are shown in the individual engine test specifications. These values are found in the TMI General Engine Data (Engine Test Specifications).
Criteria for Evaluating Performance Test Data
The reports for performance tests are divided into two groups. These two groups are "passed" or "failed".
(1) Performance tests are passed when all test results are within the nominal specifications of + 0.90 (specification tolerances).
If the test passes, the performance test will have a note that states "Passed Performance Test".
(2) Performance tests are failed when any test result is outside the nominal specification of +1.20 (Specification Tolerances).
If the test fails, the performance test will have a note that states "Failed Performance Test".
(a) If the performance test fails because of a test result controlled by the engine (Table 1), the report will provide all appropriate notes. This report includes a note that states "Repair Engine".
(b) If the performance test fails because of the result from a test cell (Table 2) the report for the test will provide a note that states "Repair Cell - Retest Engine".
(c) If the performance test fails because of a test result that is controlled by both the engine and by the test cell the report for the test will have a note that states "Repair Engine and Repair Cell".
(d) If the test data shows the engine to be potentially adjustable, the report from the test will provide a note that states "Fuel System Check and Adjustment Required". If the test fails for a reason except for the fuel rate, power, or torque the report for the test will also provide a note that states "Repair Engine".

Setting Point for the Governor - Mechanical Engines Only
The setting point for the governor (engine speed and torque) is an operating point on the curve of engine over run that is used to set the governor. The setting speed for the governor and the setting torque for the governor will be specified in the Specifications for the Engine Test.
The setting point for the governor will be set by running the engine at the specified setting speed for the governor with the engine speed control at the maximum speed position as specified in Engine Speed Control of the General Instructions and by providing torque from the dynamometer as specified. The engine speed should be adjusted with the governor control. The governor control controls the position of the curve for the over run. The torque should be adjusted via the dynamometer control.
Full Load Setting and Full Torque Setting - Electronic Engines Only
If you have performed the necessary tests and need to change either the FLS (Full Load Setting) or the FTS (Full Torque Setting), contact your Field Service Representative. The Field Service Representative will provide you with the necessary new settings and a password to change the settings.

3600 and C280 Engines
(1) Determine if any items are missing from the engine. Obtain these items and install these items before proceeding.
(2) Install the governor control and the harness for the governor.
(3) Check for air starters. Remember that electric starters are not tested. If the engine has air starters install proper adapters for plumbing and for air hoses.
(4) Remove the appropriate block plugs to install the required sensors, thermocouples, adapters, connectors, and hoses.
(5) By using an overhead hoist, install the exhaust adapter. Ensure that the adapter is equipped with a functional type K thermocouple for temperature readings for exhaust stacks.
(6) Install rubber baffling to the tube for blowby. This rubber baffling is required to build a slight positive pressure in the crankcase, which increases the sensitivity of the test cell to piston seizures.
(7) Install a connector for pressure from blowby in the plug just above the nozzle for filling the oil.
(8) Install all required sensors, thermocouples, adapters, connectors, and hoses.
Note: For inlet manifold air temperatures, do not install the thermocouple in the extreme front or rear areas.
(9) If necessary install connectors for diesel fuel on the supply and return lines.
(10) Flush the shut off system for the air and install the electrical connection. The electrical connection is usually from the harness for the governor.
(11) Check for any special tests and install the required pressure connections, and thermocouples.
(12) If the engine is equipped with the prelube pump, prepare the engine for testing. For the engines that are equipped with air prelube pumps, install the air lines that tie the pump back into the prelube system for the air from the pallet. This allows the computer to control the prelube of the air.
Setting up the Engine in the Test Cell
Note: Refer to "Appendix I (Fabricated Wiring Harnesses for Electronic Engines)" for the correct wiring harnesses for electric engines.
Engines through 3400
(1) Connect the hoses for the cell, lines, and wiring harnesses to the proper connection points on the engine.
Note: Install the intake manifold temperature if the manifold temperature is requested or if the manifold temperature is needed for troubleshooting.
(2) Connect the 202-2301 Portable Contamination Instructional Kit to acquire an oil sample for the patch. The supply should connect at the oil cooler and the return will go into the dipstick tube.
(3) Only for gas engines, refer to the test specification to determine if a throttle angle transducer is required. The latest specifications indicate differential pressure across the throttle instead of the actual throttle angle.
Note: If the engine uses a Flowtech actuator, the throttle angle transducer is not used.
(4) Lower the exhaust stack for the cell over the adapter for the engine and clamp in place.
(5) Hook the O2 sample hose up to the exhaust stack.
(6) Only for gas engines, install the timing adapter to the coil on cylinder number 1. Polarity is not important.
(7) Install the timing probe.
(8) Only for gas engines, remove any safety for the MAG ground to run systems. This is done to put the cell in control of shutting down the engine. If the cell did not detect the missing spark, the gas would continue to flow. The gas would flow until the cell could detect zero Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). Losing the spark could cause the gas to build up in the stack which can cause the gas to explode.
(9) Turn on the water supply to fill the Engine Jacket Water and Separate Circuit Aftercooler (SCAC). Listen and look for leaks as the engine is filling. Stop the setup procedure and correct any leaks.
(10) Connect the 24v DC electrical supply to the starter.
(11) If the engine is equipped with an air starter, connect the air supply.
(12) Fill the oiler for the air start with air tool oil.
(13) For quality inspection, check for the following criteria before testing and during testing.
- Loose parts, missing parts, or damaged parts
- Engine oil, water, fuel, exhaust, or air leaks. If a leak is discovered, stop and repair the leak.
- Proper operation of the engine attachments (pumps, governors, starters, shutoffs, and gauges)
3500 and C175 Engines
(1) Connect the hoses for the cell, the lines, and the wiring harness to the proper sensors, thermocouples, adapters, connectors, and hoses.
Note: Install the intake manifold temperature if the temperature is requested or needed for troubleshooting.
(2) Turn on the water to fill the EJW. Listen and look for leaks. Stop the setup procedure to repair all leaks.
(3) Position the exhaust stack for the cell and lower onto the engine.
(4) Check and/or fill the oil levels for the engine, the governor, and the hydromechanical shutoff.
(5) Connect the magnetic pickup wire to the governor. This step is only for engines with a mechanical unit injector.
(6) Connect the wire that activates the governor. This step is only for MUI engines.
Note: B series engines (Electronic Unit Injector (EUI)) do not require steps 5 and 6. These engines may require a connection for the timing calibration.
(7) Connect the 24v DC electrical supply to the starter.
(8) If the engine is equipped with an air starter, connect the air supply.
(9) Fill the oiler for the air start with air tool oil.
(10) For quality inspection, check for the following criteria before testing and during testing.
- Loose parts, missing parts, or damaged parts
- Engine oil, water, fuel, exhaust, or air leaks. If a leak is discovered, stop and repair the leak.
- Proper operation of engine attachments (pumps, governors, starters, shutoffs, and gauges).
Note: The 3512 machine engine will only require the use of ONE aftercooler assembly to provide adequate cooling. The C175 engines will require the use of TWO aftercooler assemblies.
The hot charge air is the compressed air that is leaving the turbocharger traveling toward the aftercooler. The cold air charge is the cooled air from the aftercooler returning to the intake manifold on the engine. The connections to the engine will vary between the different engine due to the different size connectors on the intake manifolds.
All connections will use a hose bead type connector with standard hose clamps. The exception is the 20 Cylinder High Altitude hot charge air connector. The 20 cylinder high altitude engines will use flare connections with V clamps. The 20 Cylinder High Altitude engines use the flare connections because of the higher hot charge air pressure of the high altitude 20 cylinder engine.
Itis recommended to useinterchangeable connectors to the engine. Then, fabricating entirely different hot air tubes supplying the aftercoolers is not required. Refer to Illustration 11. All the fabricated air lines should minimize the number of bends and turns and should maximize the radius of the bends when possible. This flow will minimize the impact of air flow through the lines. The air systems can use steel tubes, flexible hose, or a combination. Ensure the material that is used addresses the different charge air pressures and temperatures.
The system will use
Itis recommended to usethe air lines from the machine where possible to minimize fabrication. Guidance for fabrication is provided. The actual length of the tubing and the specific design must be addressed for installation at each dealership to best suite-specific room size and layout.

The same procedure should be used to construct the ends of the balance tube assembly that was used to construct the other parts of the steel air lines. The center section of the balance tube can be constructed using hose beads, as shown. The previous Illustrations show a typical example of the construction of the air lines. The specific length of the steel tubes will vary depending upon your specific test cell arrangement.
Illustration 18 | g06279594 |
Drain valve for condensation |
It is recommended that you install a drain valve in the bottom of the elbow for the cooled air that is leaving the aftercooler. This will allow you to drain any condensation that develops in the elbow.
The cooler assembly consists of a 236-4256 Aftercooler Assembly between two 200-6543 Covers. The core of the aftercooler has a groove for the 172-5635 O-Ring Seal. This groove is on the air INTAKE side of the aftercooler. You will have to construct TWO cooler assemblies for the C-175 Dynamometer.
Note: Failure to properlyflowthe hot air from the turbocharger willresult in a failed aftercooler core.
Illustration 19 | g02126257 |
Area with the rubber seal |
There is also a rubber sealed area that is at the ends of the cover on the same side as the groove for the O-ring seal. It is critical that the hot air from the turbocharger enters the cooler on this side. Failure to properlyflowthe hot air from the turbocharger willresult in a failed aftercooler core. Once the direction of proper air flow is determined, mark the direction on the outside of the aftercooler with an arrow that shows the proper air flow. This will aid in proper assembly. You can also feel the aftercooler core through the opening in the covers for the rubber sealed area after the covers have been installed. Remember that the side of the aftercooler core with the rubber sealed area is the INTAKE flow of hot air from the turbocharger.
Note: Failure to properlyflowthe hot air from the turbocharger willresult in a failed aftercooler core.

The back side of the aftercooler core does not have a groove for the O-ring seal. This groove can be machined into the face and then another 172-5635 O-Ring Seal can be installed. Using 1U-8846 Gasket Sealant is an option in place of the machined groove for the O-ring seal and provides good seal. The 1U-8846 Gasket Sealant has been verified in testing and in actual use.
A 90 degree elbow will need to be fabricated for adapting to each of the bottom of the two aftercoolers. Use the following parts list and illustration for assembly information. The parts that are listed can be fabricated by using the information that is previously listed in this document. Refer to the section "Charge Air Cooling" for more information. Four connectors will be required to be fabricated. Two connectors will be used for each of the two aftercoolers.

Water lines connection ports |
When you are mounting the aftercooler assemblies, make sure that you position the aftercoolers so that the water lines can be easily attached to the water ports. This is especially true if you are mounting the aftercooler assemblies vertically.
The water connections to the aftercoolers use four elbows and four O-ring seals. These are standard Caterpillar parts and are listed in the following table. One O-ring seal is used on each elbow. The elbows are bolted to the bottom of the aftercoolers, as shown. The water connectors should be rotated as needed to accommodate your water line connections.
The aftercoolers should operate within a range of
The auxiliary water pump can be used for water flow as long as the required pressures are addressed. During testing, a Y adapter was used to supply water to each cooler from the auxiliary water pump.
Each cooler was also fitted with a simple air purge system to purge any air from the top of the coolers as the coolers are being filled with water.

The following section details the information for connecting the Electronic Technician to the engine. Information is also given for testing the engine.
The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) Dynamometer Mode is designed to test the single C175 modules. This functionality requires at least ET Version 3.0.
The ET Dynamometer mode will monitor the following engine readouts: engine speed, engine coolant temperature, engine load factor, engine oil pressure, fuel temperature, fuel position, boost pressure and exhaust temperatures. ET Dynamometer mode allows the user to input the desired engine speed. The dynamometer load must be controlled separately.
ET version 3.0 does not allow the Dynamometer mode and the data logger to run simultaneously. Numbers must be recorded in a separate log. The ET Dynamometer mode is designed to test the out of chassis engines only. ET Dynamometer mode can override the derate mode that is caused by missing sensors or other circumstances.
- Connect Caterpillar Data Link to the Machine Interface Connector.
- Turn on the fuel supply, the water supply, and the air valves to allow the engine systems to function.
Note: Turn on the test cell-mounted water pumps. Install a safety switch that will not allow the engine to start if the test cell-mounted water pumps are operating incorrectly.
- Start the ET software on the computer that is connected to the engine through Data Link.
- Run a fuel injector test and set the injector trim files.
- Prime the engine. Operate the fuel priming pump by overriding it in ET.
- Prelube the engine.
- Perform the following operations :
- Check the sight gauge to ensure that the air has been purged from the jacket water system.
- Check the fuel system for leaks.
- Ensure that water is coming out of the IMAT drain line which indicates that the air is purged from the system.
- While ET is running, select "Service" and "Service Procedure" from the drop menu. Then select "Dynamometer Mode".
- A warning will appear on the computer. Read the warning and then select "OK".
- The "Dynamometer Mode Test" will appear on the screen. The screen appears identical for all engines that have Dynamometer Mode capability.
- When you start the program, the "Desired Engine Speed" will default to the programmed "Low Idle" speed. Low idle for the C175 engine is 700 rpm.
- While the desired engine speed is set at low idle, start the engine by using the engine starter. An air starter that is mounted on the dynamometer can also be used to start the engine. The default low idle engine speed of 700 rpm may be overridden to start the engine.
- After the engine is started, the ET Dynamometer Mode will control the operation of the engine.
- Use the test procedure that is outlined in Table 18 to warm up the engine.
- Walk around the engine to ensure that the fluid systems are not leaking and that the engine is operating properly.
- To change the engine speed, select "Desired Engine RPM" in the description section at the bottom of the screen. Then select "Change". A screen that allows you to enter the desired RPM override will appear. For example, if the engine was running the low idle of 700 rpm and the desired speed was 1000 RPM, the test cell operator would select on "Desired Engine RPM". The test cell operator would then make the following selections:
- "Change".
- Enter 1000 RPM.
- Select "OK".
ET Dynamometer mode will adjust the fuel setting to increase the engine RPM to the desired value.
- After you enter the desired engine RPM, adjust the dynamometer load by using the water valve or the dynamometer control system.
- Selecting "Disabled Override" at any time will reset the engine to the ECM programmed idle speed of 700 RPM for the C175 engine.
Note: The Engine Rating Map Override option is used to control the converter modes.
- Use the information in Table 18 and the ET to continue the Dynamometer test.
- Take a Schedule Oil Sample (SOS) of the engine and wash off the engine while the engine is running.
- Complete the test and return the engine to the low idle of 700 RPM. Shut off the fuel supply to stop the engine. This procedure cannot be accomplished with ET. Exiting the program at any time will return the engine to low idle.
- ET Logged Diagnostic Codes should be cleared from the ECM before you exit. View the logged diagnostic codes and clear the diagnostic codes. Codes may be logged due to missing sensors. Codes may be logged because of troubleshooting work. The codes could cause a derate when the engine is installed in the chassis.
- Exit ET Dynamometer Mode.
- Perform the following functions to complete the Dynamometer test :
- Allow the engine to cool.
- Shut off the water supply.
- Shut off the air supply.
- Shut off the fuel supplies.
- Purge the fluid systems and disconnect all of the Dynamometer connections.
- Allow the engine to cool.

Engine Checks after Installation into Test Cell
(1) Perform prelubrication because engine components require the prelubrication before cranking. The prelubrication will be accomplished by pressurizing the lubrication system before cranking. Reference Special Instruction, SEHS8914, "Pressure Lubrication Procedure for Remanufactured Engines and Short Blocks" for more information on performing prelubrication.
Also if an engine is equipped with a prelube pump, the complete starting motor system for the prelube pump will be checked. The checkout of the system can be done before the engine test or after the engine test. It is not necessary for the checkout to be done in an engine test cell.
(2) Ensure that the oil filters are full of oil and do not fill the filters prior to installation.
(3) Prime the fuel system.
Note: Refer to the latest Contamination Control Guidelines, PEBJ0002, "Cat Dealer Contamination Control" publications on contamination control.
(4) If the oil supply for the engine does not lubricate the auxiliary power take off, then an external oil supply must be provided.
(5) Check the engine oil level. Before the engine is cranked, the level of the oil pan must be within the range that is safe for starting the engine.
(6) To determine the performance of the engine at full load, the oil level must be between the "add" line and the "full" line. If the dipstick has been marked for tilt operation, the level of the oil should be within the designated range. Dipsticks produced for tilt operation will show the oil level for an engine that is properly filled with oil that is positioned horizontally in a test cell.
(7) Ensure that the engine is installed correctly and that the proper adapters are used to connect the engine to the dynamometer.
Note: The adapter for the driveline must be concentric with the flywheel within
(8) Check the installation of all required diagnostic connections and any special connections for instrumentation (damper timing marker, cylinder pressure transducer, etc.)
(9) Verify that the log for the engine is current. If the log is not current, the log should be updated.
Test Cell after Installation of the Engine
(1) Ensure that all pressure lines are routed and connected properly.
(2) Ensure that the thermocouples are installed correctly and that all the connections are tight.
(3) Ensure that the Electronc Control Module cable is routed properly.
(4) Ensure that the supply valves for the operation of the dynamometer and the control are open.
(5) Make sure that the valves for the transfer plate are open for all the systems that are active.
(6) Check that all additional systems for the test support have been installed correctly and that the hoses and cables are routed properly.
(7) Check that the proper fuel has been selected.
Preparing the Control Console to Run a Test
Access to the computer for the cell is necessary to perform all checks.
Note: There are numerous manufacturers of dynamometers and each one with various types of Data Acquisition and Control Units. Refer to the appropriate Owner's Manual for your particular system.
Performance Test for Electronic Engines
Diesel Engine
The test procedure lays out the phases and conditions of the production test. The specifics of the speed, load, time, and other conditions can be found in the specific test procedure number for the application, associated with the test specification are available in TMI. Illustration 48 shows an example with the stages for this I6 heavy-duty machine procedure. The test stages are described in more detail below.
Standard Schedule for Testing an Engine
Illustration 48 | g03691805 |
Example of Test Procedure |
Pre-Lubrication
For engine components that require pre-lubrication as determined by engineering, perform before cranking. The pre-lubrication shall be accomplished by pressurizing the lubrication system before cranking. If an engine is equipped with a pre-lube pump, the complete pre-lube pump-starting motor system shall be checked. Checkout of the system can be done either before or after engine test and does not need to be done in an engine test cell.
Auxiliary Power Take-Off
An external oil supply shall be provided for any installed auxiliary power take off that is not lubricated by the engine lubrication system.
Before the engine is cranked, the oil pan fill level should be within the range designated on the production dipstick or the specified dipstick as safe for starting the engine.
The full load performance of the engine shall be determined with the correct oil pan fill level.
Standard Engine Test Schedule
The performance testing of engines should be in accordance with this document, but can also refer to the individual test procedures in TMI, Data Management System (dms.cat.com/LPSD/), and ENGINE Database (Contact LPSD - Engine Performance Center), (for variations to the detail test points. If an engine is stopped before completion of this test, the test should be run again starting with the warmup schedule. The running time specified for each point in this test schedule is the time at the specified speed and torque. Transition time between points is not included as part of the required time at each point.
Record the following throughout the test (for use in calculating correction factors and monitoring facility health):
- Total Barometric Pressure (kPa)
- Water Vapor Pressure (kPa, Refer to Step 2.
- Inlet Air Temperature (DEG C)
- Inlet Air Pressure (kPa)
- Fuel Density (API)
- Inlet Fuel Temperature (DEG C)
- Inlet Fuel Pressure (kPa)
Warm Up
Warm up of an engine is defined as conditioning of an engine to obtain repeatable engine performance and to purge air from the liquid handling systems of the engine. This latter function is especially important for engines quipped with an NRS Cooler. The engine speed control shall not be “pumped during any portion of this performance test. Pumping is the process of rapidly and alternately increasing and decreasing the engine speed control and/or engine speed.”
Note: For engines equipped with an NRS Cooler, sufficient venting of the coolant system shall be installed so that no air is trapped in the NRS Cooler. This typically entails venting both the engine side and radiator side of the thermostat. Some configurations may also need a dedicated vent line from the NRS cooler.
- Crank at 100-700 RPM with the engine speed control positioned to provide maximum fuel delivery. Oil pressure of 40 kPa minimum shall be obtained within 0.5 minutes or cranking shall be stopped. Cranking should be discontinued if engine has not started within 2 minutes. After the engine starts, engine speed shall be targeted to an elevated speed (typically low idle +100 RPM or cranking speed +100 RPM) at zero load to build oil pressure. A minimum oil pressure of 40 kPa shall be obtained within 3 seconds after the engine starts or the engine shall be stopped.
The following warmup phases (refer to Step 2 and 3) define a 'normal' on-highway warmup cycle, different applications can ADD additional time or points based on that application's specific needs. The intent of the warmup phases is to get the engine up to operating temperature as quickly as possible without damaging green engine.
Note: Observe and listen to the engine and attachments for any unusual vibration or sounds.
- First Warmup - 1-minute ± 0.2 minute
- 75% rated speed ± 20 RPM (not less than low idle) [See Note below]
- 50% rated torque ± 5% rated torque
- (30% rated torque ± 5% rated torque if FL BMEP is 1750 kPa or more)
Note: The engine speed shall not be increased above 75% rated speed + 20 RPM or low idle speed if low idle speed is greater than 75% of rated speed. For 50 HZ aux and genset ratings, 80% rated speed.
- Second Warmup - 1-minute ±0.2 minute. Due to deficient plant cooling system air venting ability some test facilities may require more time to purge air from the system so that additional load will not cause overheating. This is a function of the facility and, if required, the additional time should be applied to all engines run in that facility. Maximum time should not exceed that required for the thermostats to reach opening temperature.
- Rated speed ± 20 RPM.
- 75% rated torque ± 5% rated torque (some procedures may specify torque magnitude).
Note: For applications with the NRS system, the NRS test should occur during one of the two last warmup stages before full load, contingent on thermostat opening. Refer to Step 6.
- Third Warmup - 3 minutes ±0.2 minute
- Rated Speed ±20 RPM
- Rated Torque +3%, - 11% (some procedures may specify torque magnitude)
Additional warmup phases may be implemented for specific applications or larger engines where more time is needed to achieve thermal stability.
- Governor Setting Point (Mechanical Engines) - 0.25-minute ±0.1 minute governor setting speed and governor setting torque per the individual engine test specification. (e.g., 0T, 2T, 0K, seven-digit, etc.)
At the governor setting point, the engine speed control shall be at the maximum speed position and the torque shall be as specified in the engine test specification.
The governor control, which positions the over-run curve, shall not be adjusted after completing the governor setting point. If the high idle speed is not correct when checked at the stage described in Step 4, the governor controls shall not be adjusted. Only repairing and retesting the engine can correct the high idle speed. Data shall not be taken until the water temperature meets the minimum water temperature at rated (from the specification).
Note: For mechanical engines, the torque applied to mechanical governor control shafts to maintain maximum engine speed shall be 8 Nm to 12 Nm (5.5 Nm to 9.5 Nm for Woodward 3161 governor). Proper control of torque on the governor control shaft is required for consistent governor setting points and high idle speeds. For electronic engines, either a throttle input to the ECM or speed override control through the ECM can be used (the same applies to PEEC and the different versions of fully electronic engines).
- Full Load - 4 minutes ±0.2 minutes or stabilization: Full load speed ±10 RPM.
Engine speed control shall be within specification at the maximum speed position.
Engines are to be considered stabilized after achieving the following maximum variation per 2 minute period while running continuously at full load RPM:
- For systems using jacket outlet water control: Jacket water pump in 3 DEG C
- For systems using jacket inlet water control: Jacket water pump out 3 DEG C
- For systems using SCAC inlet water control: SCAC inlet 3 DEG C.
For All Engines
- Oil Pressure - 7 kPa
- Fuel Rate - 1%
- Corrected Power - 1% (observed power permissible for manual test facility)
The non-control (inlet or outlet) water temperature shall be within specification before recording full load data.
For engines equipped with a separate circuit aftercooler, the water inlet temperature shall be within specification before recording full load data.
- Full Load Check - With the engine at the full load point and stabilized as outlined in Step 6. Calculate and/or record in Table 19.

Cylinder Cut-Out Check
- Cylinder Cut-Out Check - Computer Controlled - If the engine is equipped to permit cut-out of individual cylinders and one of the following conditions are seen: CSFC at rated fails, or corrected power is more than 5% outside the specification limit. This may be triggered either after the full load or torque check phases.
- Stop combustion process in cylinder number 1.
- Wait until power measurement has restabilized (several seconds will be required). Obtain average corrected power of the remaining cylinders over a 3 second period, and restart the combustion process.
- Repeat the steps above for each cylinder in numerical order.
- Power determined in Step 7 minus power determined in Step 1 is the power of the cylinder, which was cut out. Calculate and record the percent loss by dividing the power of the cylinder by the power determined in Step 7 .
- Cylinder Cut-Out Check – Operator/ECM Controlled - If the engine is equipped to permit cut-out of individual cylinders and one of the following conditions are seen: CSFC or corrected power is outside the specification limits.
- Follow ECM control interface instructions for automated tests.
- Perform manual steps to troubleshoot individual cylinders.
Torque Check
0.25-minute ±0.1 minute. This is an example time for on-highway truck engines. For other applications, this is the minimum nominal time. The actual time may be more.
- Increase the dynamometer load until the engine lugs to the speed specified for torque check. Measurements shall be taken within 3 minutes after lugging from full load. Engine speed and load shall be stabilized for this reading. Stabilization is determined by the speed remaining within specification for a minimum of 15 seconds.
Note: For applications that operate at a single speed (generator sets, marine auxiliary), the torque check phase may be omitted due to the single speed mode of operation of this application. This will be indicated by inclusion of a flag in the test specification OMIT TORQ. The reset calculation will be based only on the measurements taken at the rated point.
Note: Test Specification Flags are fields in the spec that signal the test cell to perform a certain operation when an engine of that spec is being tested. Flags, as with all parameter fields, are tied to a serial number break (effective serial number) of a particular test spec and will only be implemented when an engine with a serial number greater than or equal to that particular break is in the cell. These flags are added by using the appropriate testing database application to modify the test specification.
Calculate and/or record, see Table 20.

Note: If another test after reset confirmation is desired (indicated by a spec flag, the test should be performed after torque check.
- Response Check - If required by the individual test specification. (Response check is for mechanical engines only).
Remove the dynamometer load as rapidly as possible until the dynamometer is operating with a maximum of 3% of rated torque. Opening the dynamometer field circuit and simultaneously closing the water supply valve with a solenoid is adequate.
Adjust the engine speed control if necessary to maintain the specified response check idle speed. The engine should be brought to the response check idle speed with the fuel system at shutoff. The engine speed control does not need to be in the minimum position. At the specified response check idle time after initiating load removal, increase the setting of the engine speed control, if it has been reduced, as rapidly as possible (1 second maximum) to the maximum speed setting and adjust the dynamometer load as required to maintain response check speed. Response time is the time from the start of change in engine speed until the specified torque is obtained.

- Manual Air/Fuel Control Check - In test facilities in which the diesel engine full load check as defined in Step 7 is not computerized (all current facilities are), an engine test to check that the air/fuel control setting is correct is required. With the engine running at high idle and with the boost sensing line disconnected, lug the engine to rated speed. Measurement of the air/fuel control setting is not required.
- Record: Observed Torque (Nm)
- High Idle Check - 0.10 minute.
Remove the dynamometer load until the dynamometer is operating with a maximum of 3% of rated torque. With some types of dynamometers, the load cannot be lowered to this level. If the load can be lowered to 10% of rated torque, extrapolating a straight line from the governor setting point through the lowest attainable torque to zero torque to obtain a high idle value is satisfactory. Maintaining a load on the engine for stabilizing the high idle speed is not an acceptable process.
Record
- High Idle Speed (RPM)
- High Idle Stability (RPM)
During the high idle speed check, the engine speed shall not vary more than:
- Gen set and marine aux engines ± (rated speed / 300).
- All other diesel engines ± (rated speed / 200).
Note: If the stability is a parameter in the given spec, it is a pass/fail criterion. If not, then it extends the duration of this test phase until the criteria is met, or the maximum time is reached.
If the high idle speed is not correct, it can be corrected only by repairing and retesting the engine.
- Low Idle Point- 0.10 minute, maximum dynamometer load equals 3% of rated torque.
For mechanical engines, set the low idle speed within 5 minutes of obtaining full load data. Unless oil temperature is maintained at full load temperature by a special test conducted immediately before the low idle point.
Record
- Low Idle Speed
- Low Idle Oil Pressure
- Low Idle Speed Stability
Note: If the stability is a parameter in the given spec, it is a pass/fail criterion. If not, then it extends the duration of this test phase until the criteria is met, or the maximum time is reached.
During the low idle speed check, the engine speed shall not vary more than ±10 RPM.
NOx Reduction System Test
NOTICE |
---|
Do not leave out the NRS coolant diverters after testing or servicing. Failure to replace coolant diverters in C9.3 Tier 4 engines can lead to NRS failure and engine damage. |
A NOx Reduction System Test is required for engines with NOx Reduction System (NRS). The NRS Test should occur during one of the final warmup stages. It is triggered in computerized test cells by the 'Tier 4' flag.
The NRS end of line test will not start until certain conditions are met and will abort if certain Diagnostic Trouble Codes are found in the ECM. The following list of trouble codes shall not be active for the test to proceed:
Note: For engines equipped with an NRS Cooler, sufficient venting of the coolant system shall be installed so that no air is trapped in the NRS Cooler. This typically entails venting both the engine side and radiator side of the thermostat. Some configurations may also need a dedicated vent line from the NRS cooler.
- Engine NRS delta pressure voltage above normal
- Engine NRS delta pressure voltage below normal
- Engine NRS differential pressure: High (event)
- Engine NRS differential pressure: Low (event)
- Engine NRS intake pressure voltage above normal
- Engine NRS intake pressure voltage below normal
- NRS temperature voltage above normal
- NRS temperature voltage below normal
- Engine NRS valve control current below normal
- Engine NRS valve control current above normal
- Turbo balance valve actuator control current below normal
- Turbo balance valve actuator control current above normal
- Intake manifold pressure voltage above normal
- Intake manifold pressure voltage below normal
The NRS test is broken into two sections:
- Section one is to verify that the NRS valve is properly functioning and not stuck in the fully open or fully closed positions. The engine is put into NRS test mode by the engine test cell computer to turn off any diagnostics that would become active while manipulating the NRS and turbo balance valve (TBV) positions. In the first warmup stage of the production hot test, the engine test cell computer will command the NRS valve to toggle from the fully open to fully closed positions for up to 8 cycles or 30 seconds. It then sets the NRS and turbo balance valve to the correct positions for the start of the second part of the test.
- Section two is a functional test to ensure that the NRS performs as specified by engineering. Section two starts once the engine goes into second warmup and the test cell computer sets the engine speed and load appropriate for the engine being tested. The engine speed and load is developed by Engineering, dependent on the bore size and hardware set of the engine, and set in the test procedure. The test cell computer then commands the NRS system through five test points as follows:
Test Point 1 - NRS valve fully closed (0%) and TBV open (off). The test cell computer will wait 5 seconds from the time the speed and load are set correctly and the step response mode is enabled in the engine ECM. The ECM then takes a 5 second average recording of NRS mass air flow, NRS delta pressure, and NRS absolute pressure from the engine ECM.
Test Point 2 - NRS valve fully open (100%) and TBV open (off). The engine ECM will calculate the NRS valve closed to open response time and pass the value to the test cell computer. The ECM waits 5 seconds to stabilize and then takes a 5 second average recording of NRS mass air flow, NRS delta pressure, and NRS absolute pressure from the engine ECM.
Test Point 3 - NRS valve fully open (100%) and TBV closed (on). The test cell computer waits 5 seconds to stabilize and then takes a 5 second average recording of NRS mass air flow, NRS delta pressure, and NRS absolute pressure from the engine ECM.
Test Point 4 - NRS valve fully open (100%) and TBV open (off). The test cell computer waits 5 seconds to stabilize and then takes a 5 second average recording of NRS mass air flow, NRS delta pressure, and NRS absolute pressure from the engine ECM.
Test Point 5 - NRS valve fully closed (0%) and TBV open (off). As the NRS valve is moved from fully open to fully closed, the engine ECM will calculate the open to closed valve response time. The test cell computer waits 5 seconds to stabilize and then takes a 5 second average recording of NRS mass air flow, NRS delta pressure, and NRS absolute pressure from the engine ECM. The engine ECM then passes the calculated response time to the test cell computer.
Once the five steps are complete, the test cell will first release control of the TBV. It then will set the NRS valve to completely open (100%) before releasing control back to the engine ECM. The engine test cell computer will then wait 5 seconds to take the engine out of NRS test mode
The following data is collected as pass/fail criteria as part of the production test:
- ECM NRS TEST MASS FLOW RATE PT1 (kg/hr)
- ECM NRS TEST MASS FLOW RATE PT2 (kg/hr)
- ECM NRS TEST MASS FLOW RATE PT3 (kg/hr)
- ECM NRS TEST MASS FLOW RATE PT4 (kg/hr)
- ECM NRS TEST MASS FLOW RATE PT5 (kg/hr)
- ECM NRS VLVE RESP TIME PT2 (msec)
- ECM NRS VLVE RESP TIME PT5 (msec)
Note: How pass/fail criteria are set: First attempt by mechatronics for NPI pilot builds. Once in full production, refine the nominals and tolerances with factory averages.
Venting the NRS Cooler
There are several critical requirements for hot testing EGR engines. These requirements are listed below. Failure to follow these requirements could result in possible thermal damage to the EGR cooler, resulting in early field hour failures.
Note: Tee the cooler vent line with the engine vent line. The vent line from the EGR cooler (C9 & C13 engines only) needs to be continuously flowing, no pep cock type valves allowed. The C15 and Vee engine coolers self-vent in the engine AR and therefore do not need a dedicated vent line. The RAD side of the engine (stat out) should be vented as well.
- Adequate venting of engine required in test cells
- Vent both engine and cell sides of thermostat housing, or corresponding coolant lines
- Vent line on EGR coolers must be installed and connected to engine/facility
- Do not turn on EGR until all trapped air has been purged from the system
- Ideally no EGR gas flow until after thermostats open during testing
Illustration 49 | g03708945 |
Illustration 49 is an example of a venting setup for the NRS Cooler. (A) EGR cooler vent line (B) Engine side vent line (C) RAD vent line |
Additional Requirements:
- Use 50/50 Glycol when possible, to avoid EGR cooler boiling.
- Follow the correct Operation and Maintenance Manual, for proper coolant filling, venting, and initial start-up.
- If water is used, then the follow restrictions apply:
- Maintain and monitor water pump inlet temperature not to exceed 90 deg C.
- Pressurized system is required
- Monitor pump inlet pressure during the test (no lower than 20 kPa gage pressure)
- No more than 3 minutes continuous operation at Peak Torque condition.
- Record temperature and pressure data during the test and retain.
Note: The other important item for dealer testing is to allow enough warmup time before applying load to the engine. The engine should warmup until the thermostat cracks open, to allow any remaining air to settle out of the system.
Functionality Tests
It may be necessary to run functionality tests with the standard performance test defined in this document, to test additional engine systems. Functionality tests can be inserted after the high idle check or at other phases of the test per agreement with Engineering. This will provide a test sequence, which will maintain the normal engine operating temperature for the torque check and the response check. If functionality tests are inserted into the test sequence, judgment should be exercised to be certain that normal operating temperatures are maintained for the high idle check and the low idle point. These functionality tests can be enabled by setting different flags or parameters in the test spec.
- Refer to Section "Appendix J: CRS Test Procedure" (Not Currently In Use) for the CRS test.
- Engine Brake Test (9.3 Engines Only) - This test shall be performed on all C9.3 application equipped with a Cat Constant Lift Brake. Associated test specs shall have the BRKSVR flag associated with them. The test sequence is composed of 3 steps:
Lube Oil Rail Air Purge - While maintaining the throttle command at 100% and zero load on the dynamometer, command the brake valve to open. When the dynamometer speed feedback reaches 1400 RPM, command the brake valve to close and let the engine recover to high idle speed. Repeat two more times for a total of three valve cycles.
Brake Functional Test 1 - With the engine steady at high idle and zero load (all water removed from eddy current dynamometers), command the ECM to go to low idle. The test cell shall record the time from when the command is issued to when the speed feedback is 1500 RPM. This time is the baseline time. Return the engine to steady state at high idle and zero load.
Brake Functional Test 2 - With the engine steady at high idle and zero load (all water removed from eddy current dynamometers), maintain 100% throttle command and command the brake valve to open. The test cell shall record the time from when the command is issued to when the speed feedback is 1500 RPM. This time is the brake engaged time. Return the engine to steady state at high idle and no load.
Pass/Fail Analysis - Calculate the difference in time between the baseline measurement and the brake engaged measurement. A positive value greater than or equal to the spec nominal value empirically derived at the test facility indicates that the brake is set properly and functioning correctly. Any value less than the nominal value (including negative values) is a failed test and requires a repair and retest completed.

234-5013 Inlet Manifold Air Temperature (IMAT) Sensor before lifting. Not doing so could result in lifting bail damaging sensor.Dynamic Gas Blending - This functionality test will be initiated by the Fuel System Type Code of the spec being set to DGB. Refer to Illustration 50.
For Large Mining Truck DGB engines, it is required to enable gas substitution hot test mode in order to bypass the off-engine LNG tank sensors and truck methane detection system that is not present in the engine kit.
To enable gas substitution hot test mode, the Primary Engine ECM pin J1:47 needs to be grounded. By grounding that pin at the ECM, it will suppress the missing sensors and allow the engine to enter gas blending mode when all other operating conditions are met. One option can be to route the J1:47 and ground wires into the dyno test console room and enable the hot test mode with a simple switch. Alternatively, the pin may be grounded at the ECM, and then the operator can utilize Cat ET for Enabling or Disabling the Gas Substitution System Status for selection when to enter gas substitution mode. Note: after successful hot test, this pin will need to be removed.
The other gas conditions are as follows (on-engine sensors): Coolant temp >60C Gas supply pressure >350 kPag Intake manifold air temperature >35C No gas system faults or diagnostics present.
Additionally, gas substitution can vary with many factors including:
Engine speed
Engine load
Intake manifold air temperature (SCAC water temperature)
Gas supply pressure
Combustion sensing and hardware protection
Exhaust temperature
Turbo speed
The specific test spec values provide the ideal boundary conditions for testing in order to achieve the full target substitution percentage.
Natural Gas supply opened during cranking sequence.
After Full Load Point, test cell starts substituting gas to FL GAS SUB RATIO parameter value and shall maintain +/-10 RPM stability.
After minimum of 4 minutes, the following parameters are recorded in Table 30.
- FLGB Engine Speed
- FLGB Corrected Power
- FLGB Fuel Rate – SI
- FLGB Fuel Rate – DI
- FLGB Adjusted Boost
- FLGB Fueling Value (ADEM 4) or Static Fuel Setting (Non-ADEM 4)
- FLGB Gas Substitution Ratio
- FLGB Gas Fuel Valve Position
Multiple Rating Engines
If testing of multiple rating is required, there are two options: either choose to run a second complete test or go by the following six steps. The choice of the option to use is left to the discretion of the individual facility.
- Run standard test as defined in Level "Diesel Engine" through Level "Functionality Tests" for the highest power and/or the torque rating.
- Activate the rating change function or device.
- Increase engine speed to high idle (maximum engine speed control position).
- Load engine until lugged to the alternate full load and/or Torque check speed. The engine shall be stabilized as defined in Step 5 and/or Step 6.
- Calculate and/or record as required by the rating:
- Full Load Speed
- Corrected Full Load Power
- Torque Check Speed
- Corrected Torque at TC RPM
- If additional ratings are required, repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each successively lower rating. Electronic engines shall not be reset during this process.
Spark Ignited Engines
The test procedure lays out the phases and conditions of the production test. The specifics of the speed, load, time, and other conditions can be found in the specific test procedure number for the application, associated with the test specification found in TMI, Data Management System (dms.cat.com/LPSD/), and ENGINE Database (Contact LPSD - Engine Performance Center). Illustration 48 shows an example with the stages for the I6 heavy-duty Diesel machine procedure. The SI procedure is similar in concept. Each of the test stages is described in more detail in the following sections.
Preparation for Running
- Pre-Lubrication - Same as Level "Pre-Lubrication".
- Auxiliary Power Take-Off - Same as Level "Auxiliary Power Take-Off"
- Oil Pan Fill Level - Same as in Level "Auxiliary Power Take-Off"
- Full Load Oil Pan Fill Level - Same as in "Auxiliary Power Take-Off"
- Engine inlet fuel to the gas pressure regulator shall be supplied at the pressures shown in the individual engine performance specifications.
- Throttle Positioning - Check to ensure that the throttle plate can be opened to the maximum position. Do not adjust the linkage to obtain the maximum position in such a manner that the throttle plate will not close completely.
- Air Fuel Ratio Settings
Set the carburetor mixture control at the "nominal value" specified in the facility work instructions and do not adjust for the remainder of the test except as specified below.
- Engines equipped with carburetors with a rotary mixture control - one (1) is the value assigned to the mark on the scale nearest to the l (lean), five (5) is the value of the mark nearest to the r (rich).
- Engines equipped with carburetors with screw adjusted mixture control - the mixture control setting is the number of turns the screw is backed out from the full "in" (maximum clockwise) position.
For engines that have prechambers, set the needles values for each cylinder to 3.5 turns open.
For electronically controlled engines, configure the lower heat value (fuel quality) and fuel-specific gravity to current gas chromatograph reading. (For G3600 also calibrates pressure module).
For engines equipped with adjustable wastegate, adjust screw to midway position.
Warm Up
Warm up of an engine is defined as conditioning of an engine to obtain repeatable engine performance and to purge air from the liquid handling systems of the engine. The engine speed control shall not be "pumped" during any portion of this performance test. Pumping is the process of rapidly and alternately increasing and decreasing the engine speed control system and/or engine speed.
Note: Observe and listen to the engine and attachments during warmup for any unusual vibration or sounds.
- Starting Procedure - Crank at 200-600 RPM (3600 at 100-200 RPM). Minimum oil pressure of 40 kPa shall be obtained within 0.5 minutes or cranking shall be stopped. Cranking shall continue 0.25 minutes after obtaining 40 kPa before starting engine. Cranking should be discontinued if engine has not started within 2 minutes. (For G3600 minimum prelube oil pressure shall be met before cranking can begin.)
Note: For engines equipped with electronically configurable ignition timing, set the preliminary ignition timing to the value specified in the engine performance specification.
- First Point (Low Idle Speed) - 1 minute, Run at zero torque - maximum of 3% of test torque.
- For engines equipped with mechanical governor, with the throttle plate completely closed, adjust the carburetor throttle stop screw until the screw touches the stop lever. The throttle plate should not be held open any amount by the stop screw.
- For engines that require differential fuel pressure settings, set the preliminary differential fuel pressure to the nominal value specified for high idle in the engine performance specification. Differential fuel pressure is the static gas pressure maintained to the carburetor, relative to the static component of the carburetor inlet total pressure.
- For engines equipped with Woodward governors operate at the specified speed or at the lowest attainable speed if the specified speed cannot be attained. If the governor is equipped with a synchronizing motor, check for engine speed increase and decrease when the appropriate wires from the motor are energized.
- Second Point (High Idle Speed) - 5 minutes, Run at zero torque - maximum of 3% of test torque.
- For engines equipped with mechanically configurable ignition timing, set the ignition timing to the value specified for full load in the engine test specification.
- For engines that require differential fuel pressure settings, confirm that the differential fuel pressure is set to the value specified for high idle in the engine test specification.
- Third Point - 1 minute ± 0.2 minute (1st Break-In).
- For engines equipped with carburetors: If the excess oxygen in the engine performance specification for full load is greater than 4%, set the preliminary excess oxygen 1.0% less than the value specified for full load.
- If the excess oxygen is 4% or less, set the preliminary excess oxygen to the value specified in the engine performance specification for full load.
- Fourth Point - 3 minutes ± 0.2 minute (2nd Break-In), Run as defined in test procedure.
- Fifth Point
For G3500 engines, apply load appropriately to achieve aftercooler and Jacket Water temperatures defined in engine test specification.
For G3600 engines, apply 75% load and tune needle valves.
- Full Load Test Point - 4 minutes ± 0.2 min or stabilization.
The nominal full load test power is defined in the engine test specification as corrected full load power. Nominal test speed is defined in the engine test specification as full load speed.
Nominal Test Torque = NTT
NTT = (Corr Full Load Power (kW) * 60000 (Nm/kW.min)) / (RPM * 2pi * Total Correction Factor)
At the full load test point, the engine speed control shall be at the maximum speed position.
Note: For mechanical engines, the torque applied to mechanical governor control shafts to maintain maximum engine speed shall be 8 Nm to 12 Nm (5.5 Nm to 9.5 Nm for Woodward 3161 governor). Proper control of torque on the governor control shaft is required for consistent governor setting points and high idle speeds. For electronic engines, either a throttle input to the ECM or speed override control through the ECM can be used (also applicable to PEEC and the different versions of fully electronic engines).
- Test Speed ±5 RPM
- Test Torque ±1% Test Torque
If the engine test specification specifies a high idle speed greater than the full load speed (a non-isochronous over-run curve), the test torque can be increased or decreased with the adjustment controlling the position of the over-run curve.
If the measured values for spec parameters are within tolerances set in the engine test specification, the nominal air-fuel ratio setting is acceptable.
If the measured values for spec parameters are not within tolerances set in the engine test specification, the air-fuel ratio setting shall be reset as required to bring these parameters within specification. For engines with adjustable wastegates, fine-tune to bring parameters within specification.
Perform required additional tests at full load such as G3600 misfire and vibration tests.
Engines are to be considered stabilized after achieving the following maximum variation per 2 minute period while running at test speed and torque:
- Jacket Water Pump In Temp - 3 DEG C
- Aftercooler Water In Temp - 3 DEG C
- Oil Pressure - 7 kPa
- Fuel Rate - 1%
- Corrected Power - 1% (observed power permissible for manual test facility)
The engine water outlet temperature and, if so equipped, the separate circuit aftercooler water inlet temperature shall be within specification before recording full load test point data.
For engines with a mechanical governor, the over-run curve shall not be repositioned after completing the full load point except as specified in Step 9.

As a result, it is necessary to correct the observed engine performance data to a standard set of conditions to reduce data variability introduced by those parameters. The calculations of the correction factors are shown below.
Note: Correction factors are not to be used for altitude derating.

Performance Test for Mechanical Engines
Warm Up
The warmup is conditioning the engine to create repeatable performance of the engine and to purge air from the liquid handling systems of the engine.
The engine speed control will not be “revved” or “pumped” during any portion of this performance test. “Revving” is the process of rapidly increasing and decreasing the engine speed control and/or engine speed.
- Starting procedure
The engine should be cranked at 100 RPM to 1000 RPM with the engine speed control in a position that provides the maximum fuel delivery. You must obtain a minimum of
40 kPa (5.8 psi) oil pressure within 0.5 minutes. Otherwise, the engine will stop cranking. Cranking should also be discontinued if the engine has not started within 2 minutes.After the engine starts, limit the engine speed to the following.
Show/hide tableTable 23 (Low idle + 0.2 × (nominal high idle − nominal low idle)) ± 20 RPM Minimum oil pressure of
40 kPa (5.8 psi) will be obtained within 3 seconds after the engine starts, or the engine must be stopped. - First point (1 minute ± 0.2 minutes)
75% of the rated speed ... ± 20 RPM
Note: The engine speed will not be increased above 75% rated speed + 20 or low idle speed if the low idle speed is greater than 75% of the rated speed.
50% of the rated torque ... ± 5% of the rated torque
If the Full Load Brake Mean Effective Pressure is
1750 kPa (253.8 psi) or more, the rated torque is the following.30% of the rated torque ... ± 5% of the rated torque
- Second Point (5 minutes ± 0.2 minutes)
Due to the insufficient ability of a cooling system in a plant to vent air, some facilities that are used for testing may require more time to purge air from the system. This will prevent an additional load from causing overheating. This is a function of the facility for testing. The additional time should be applied to all engines that are run in that facility. The maximum time should not exceed the time that is required for the thermostats to reach the opening temperature.
The Rated Speed ... ± 20 RPM
60% Rated Torque ... ± 5% Rated Torque
- Third point (3 minutes ± 0.2 minute)
Rated Speed ... ± 20 RPM
90% Rated Torque ... ± 5%
- Setting point of the governor (0.25 minutes ±0.1 minute)
The setting speed of the governor ... ± 5 RPM
The setting speed of the governor ... ± 1% rated torque
At the setting point of the governor, the engine speed control will be at the position for the maximum speed (Engine Speed Control of the General Instructions). The torque is specified in the Engine Test Specifications.
The governor control which positions the overrun curve will not be adjusted after completing the setting point of the governor. If the high idle speed is not correct at the High Idle Check in the Performance Check of this schedule, the governor controls will not be adjusted. Only repairing and retesting the engine can correct the high idle speed.
- Full Load (4 Minutes ± 0.2 minute or Stabilization)
Full Load Speed ... ± 10 RPM
Engine Speed Control at the maximum speed position in accordance with Engine Speed Control of the General Instructions
While the engines are running continuously at the RPM for full load, the engines are considered stabilized after the engines achieve the following maximum variation per 2 minute period.
(1) Jacket Water Pump Inlet ...
3 °C (37.4 °F) (2) Oil Pressure ...
7 kPa (1.015 psi) (3) Fuel Rate ... 1%
(4) Corrected Power ... 1%. Use the observed power for facilities that use a manual test.
The outlet temperature of the engine water and the inlet temperature of the water for the separate circuit aftercooler (if equipped) will be within the specification before recording data at full load.
- Performance Check
- For the Full Load Check, put the engine at the full load point. Stabilize the engine according to the above paragraph. Calculate the following information and record the following information.

- Cylinder Cutout Check
If the engine is equipped to permit the cutout of the individual cylinders, use Electronic Testing to perform the test.
Note: This test is only a diagnostic check.
- Torque Check (0.25 Minute ± 0.1 minute)
Increase the dynamometer load until the engine lugs to the speed that is specified for the Torque Check. Engine speed and load will be stabilized for this reading. Stabilization is determined by the remaining speed within the specification for 15 seconds. Calculate the following information and record the following information.
(1) Speed for the Torque Check
(2) Torque (manual test)
(3) Corrected Torque at TC RPM
(4) Fuel Rate at TC RPM (manual test)
(5) Corrected Fuel Rate at TC RPM
(6) CSFC at TC RPM
(7) Boost (manual test)
(8) Adjusted Boost at TC RPM
- Checking the Response (mechanical engines)
Remove the dynamometer load as rapidly as possible until the dynamometer is operating with a maximum of 3% of the Rated Torque. Opening the field circuit for the dynamometer and simultaneously closing the water supply valve with a solenoid is adequate.
Adjust the engine speed control to maintain the specified idle speed for checking the response. The fuel system should be turned off when the engine is brought to the idle speed for checking the response. The engine speed control does not need to be in the minimum position.
At the specified response, check the idle time after initiating the removal of the load, and maintain the speed from checking the response by adjusting the dynamometer load. As rapidly as possible increase the setting of the engine speed control with a 1 second maximum to the maximum speed setting. Response time is the time from the start of change in engine speed until the specified torque is obtained. Record the following information.
(1) Idle Speed for checking the response.
(2) Speed for checking the response
(3) Response Time
An engine test is required in test facilities that do not have a computerized diesel engine Full Load Check to check that the settings for the air and fuel control are correct. Run the engine until the engine reaches the rated top speed. This should be done while the engine is running at high idle and the line for sensing the boost is disconnected. The measurement of the settings for the air control and settings for the fuel control are not required. Record the following information.
Observed Torque
- High Idle Check (0.10 minute)
Remove the dynamometer load until the dynamometer is operating with a maximum of 3% of Rated Torque.
With some types of dynamometers, the load cannot be lowered to this level. If the load can be lowered to 10% of the rated torque, it is acceptable to create a straight line from the setting point of the governor through the lowest attainable torque to zero torque to obtain a high idle value. Maintaining a load on the engine for stabilizing the high idle speed is not an acceptable process.
Record the following information.
High Idle Speed
During the check at high speed, the engine speed will not vary more than the following.
- Generator Set and Marine Auxiliary Engines
Show/hide tableTable 24 ± Rated Speed 300 - All other diesel engines
Show/hide tableTable 25 ± Rated Speed 200 If the high idle speed is not correct, only repairing and retesting the engine can correct the idle speed.
- For the Full Load Check, put the engine at the full load point. Stabilize the engine according to the above paragraph. Calculate the following information and record the following information.
- Low Idle Point (0.10 minute)
Maximum dynamometer load equals 3% of the Rated Torque. Set the low idle speed. Record the following information within 5 minutes of obtaining the data from full load unless the oil temperature is maintained at the temperature for full load by using a special test that is conducted immediately before the low idle point.
(1) Low Idle Speed
(2) Oil Pressure (Low Idle)
During checking of the low idle speed, the engine speed will not vary more than ±10 RPM.
Note: It may be necessary to run special tests with the standard performance tests that are defined in this bulletin. Special tests can be inserted after the high idle check. This will provide a test sequence, which will maintain the normal operating temperature for checking the torque and checking the response. If special tests are inserted into the test sequence, judgment should be used to be certain that normal operating temperatures are maintained for the low idle check and the low idle point.
Schedule for Testing Engines with Multiple Ratings
- Run the Standard Test that is defined in the Performance Test under the Diesel Engine for the highest power and/or the highest torque rating.
- Activate the device for the change of rating.
- Increase the engine speed to high idle (position of maximum engine speed control).
- Load the engine until the engine runs to the alternate full load and/or the speed of the torque check. The engine will be stabilized according to the step at Full Load of the Standard Schedule for Testing Engines.
- Calculate the following and record the following according to the rating.
- Full Load Speed
- Corrected Power at Full Load
- Speed of the Torque Check
- Corrected Torque at the RPM of the Torque Check
- If additional ratings are required, then repeat step 2 through step 5 for each rating that is consecutively lower.
Spark Ignited Engine
Perform the following checks in addition to the checks that are listed in Preparation for the Engine and the Test Cell.
Fuel Pressure
The fuel for the engine that is coming in to the gas pressure regulator will be supplied at the pressures that are shown in the individual engine performance specifications.
Throttle Position
Ensure that the throttle plate can be opened to the maximum position. Do not adjust the linkage so that the throttle plate will not close completely to obtain the maximum position.
Setting of the Carburetor
Set the control for the mixture for the carburetor at the "Nominal Value" that is specified in the specifications for engine performance. Do not adjust the control for the mixture for the remainder of the test. Adjust the control, if necessary, according to Item 2 of the Standard Schedule for Testing Engines for Spark Ignited Engines.
- The following is for engines that are equipped with carburetors that have a rotary control for the mixture.
- One (1) is the value that is assigned to the mark that is nearest to the "L" (Lean) on the scale.
- Five (5) is the value that is assigned to the mark that is nearest to the "R" (Rich) on the scale.
- For engines that have a mixture control that is controlled by a screw, the setting of the mixture control is the number of turns of the screw that are from the maximum clockwise position.
Standard Schedule for an Engine Test
The testing of the performance of each engine will follow this schedule. See the individual procedures for testing for any variations to the detailed test points. If an engine is stopped before the completion of a test, the test will be rerun from the beginning of the warmup schedule. The running time that is specified for each point in this schedule of testing is the time at each specified speed and torque. The time of transition between the points is not included as part of the required time for each point.
Warm Up
The warmup is conditioning the engine to create repeatable performance of the engine and to purge air from the liquid handling systems of the engine.
The speed control of the engine will not be "pumped" during any portion of this test of performance. Pumping is the process that consists of rapidly increasing and decreasing the speed control of the engine and/or the speed of the engine.
- Starting Procedure
Crank the engine at 200 RPM to 600 RPM. (Crank the 3600 series at 100 RPM to 200 RPM.) A minimum oil pressure of 40 kPa will be obtained within 0.5 minutes or the cranking will be stopped. The cranking will continue for 0.25 minutes after obtaining an oil pressure reading of 40 kPa before the engine is started. Cranking should be stopped if the engine does not start within 2 minutes.
Set the preliminary timing for the ignition to the value that is specified in the specifications for engine performance.
- First point
Low Idle Speed
"0" Torque ... Maximum of 3% of the test torque
Completely close the throttle plate and adjust the screw that is used to stop the throttle until the screw touches the stop lever. The screw should not hold the throttle plate open at all.
Set the pressure differential for the preliminary fuel to be ± 5 kPa of the value that is specified for high idle in the specifications for engine performance. The pressure differential of the fuel is the static gas pressure that is maintained to the carburetor that is relative to the static component of the inlet to the total pressure of the carburetor.
If the engine is equipped with a Woodward governor, operate the engine at the specified speed or at the lowest attainable speed. If the governor is equipped with a motor for synchronizing, check the increase and decrease in the engine speed when the appropriate wires are utilized. Refer to "Appendix A (Additional Reference Material)" for the proper publication for additional information.
- Second Point
Test Speed
"0" Torque ... Maximum of 3% of the test torque
Set the timing of the ignition to the value that is specified for the full load in the specifications for the testing of the engine.
Set the pressure differential for the fuel to the value that is specified for high idle in the specifications for the testing of the engine.
- Third point (1 minute ± 0.2 minutes)
75% of the Test Speed ... ± 20 RPM, but not less than the low idle
50% of the torque value for the test ... ± 5%
Note: For the 3600, use 25% of the Test Torque.
If the excess oxygen for full load is greater than 4%, set the preliminary excess oxygen to 1.0% less than the value that is specified in the engine specifications for full load. If the excess oxygen is 4% or less, set the preliminary excess oxygen to the value that is specified in the engine performance specifications for full load.
- Fourth Point (5 minutes ± 0.2 minutes)
Test Speed ... ± 20 RPM
60% of the torque value for the test ... ± 5%
- Test Point at Full Load (4 minutes ± 0.2 minutes or stabilization)
The nominal power at full load is defined as corrected power at full load. Nominal test speed is defined as full load speed.
Nominal Torque Value
The Nominal Torque Value for the test is calculated by using the following equation.
Show/hide tableTable 26 Nominal Torque Value = Corrected Full Load Power ( kW ) × 60000 (N·m/kW.min )× 2PI × Total Correction Factor RPM At the test point for full load, the speed control of the engine will be at the maximum speed position. Refer to Engine Speed Control of the General Instructions.
Test Speed ... ± 5 RPM
Torque Value ... ± 5%
If the specifications for the engine test specify a high idle speed that is greater than the speed at full load (a non-isochronous overrun curve), the torque value can be increased or decreased with the adjustment that controls the position of the overrun curve.
The nominal mixture control settings are acceptable if the excess oxygen, the corrected specific fuel consumption, the test speed, the test torque, the inlet manifold pressure, and the outlet pressure of the compressor are within the limits that are specified in the engine test specifications.
Ifthe excess oxygen, the corrected specific fuel consumption, the test speed, the torque value, the inlet manifold pressure, and the outlet pressure of the compressor cannot be obtained simultaneously, the control for the mixture and the wastegate will be reset to bring these characteristics within the specifications.
For a manual test, the CSFC in the preceding two paragraphs will need to be omitted.
Engines are considered stabilized after achieving the following maximum variation per 2 minute period while the engines are running at test speed and torque.
Inlet temperature of the jacket water pump ...
3 °C (37.4 °F) Oil Pressure ...

Tier IV Engine Testing
The aftertreatment systems found on some tier IV engines creates a back pressure. The ATAAC system on some tier IV engines creates a pressure drop. Both effect power and power settings. Engines are tested replicating this back pressure at the factory for two reasons. The first is to be certain that the rated power is achieved with the exhaust back pressure and ATAAC drop effect in place. The other is to prevent turbocharger over speeds and the resulting failure that can occur. The dealer must replicate this testing process to achieve the same results.
Reasons for Additional Backpressure Requirements
The aftertreatment system on some tier IV engines creates a backpressure. To simulate real world conditions, the back pressure of the aftertreatment must be replicated in a test cell.
NOTICE |
---|
Testing a Tier IV engine without simulating the back-pressure created by tier 4 aftertreatment systems can cause turbo overspeed and incorrect test data. |
Recognizing which engines need to control exhaust back pressure and ATAAC pressure drop.
Not all engines need to have restricted airflow control to simulate back-pressure created by aftertreatment systems. Only certain tier IV engines need to have this additional requirement for dyno testing.
Obtain the test specifications for the engine being tested from TMI. The information for ATAAC and Exhaust pressures are in the final three lines of data (Illustration 56). If those fields do not contain data, then the engine test does not need to address ATAAC and Exhaust pressures (Illustration 57).
Illustration 56 | g03698609 |
TMI Dyno Specifications. The arrows indicate that this engine needs the additional requirements in Section "Additional Back Pressure Requirements for Tier IV Engines". |
Illustration 57 | g03698628 |
TMI Dyno Specifications. No data in the indicated line items mean that the engine does NOT require any additional Back Pressure Requirements. |
Additional Back Pressure Requirements for Tier IV Engines
Illustration 58 | g03698634 |
Typical setup of a dyno test. |
The arrows in Illustration 58 indicate the additional requirements to dyno test a tier IV engine. The additional requirements are a controllable turbine-out restrictor and a controllable ATAAC restrictor.
Consult with your local dyno test cell vendor to obtain the two controllable restrictors. Illustrations 59 and 60 show an example of a Turbine-Out Restrictor and an ATAAC Restrictor for Tier IV engine dyno tests.

(1) | Percent values shown for Tolerances, Ceilings, and Floors are percent of nominal specification. Magnitude values shown for Tolerances, Ceilings, and Floors are added to the nominal. See Table 30 for examples of the results of ceiling/floor calculation routines employed in the spec database. |
(2) | Ceiling Values, Floor Values, tolerances on Corrected Full Load Power, and tolerances on Corrected Torque are numbers calculated from the nominal values shown on individual specification part numbers (e.g., 0T, 0K, seven digit, etc.). Refer to the individual Specific Engine Test Specification for variations due to customer driven requirements and factory ability to hold these requirements. |
(3) | A rating-dependent parameter, where the nominal value is specified in the Performance Specification Request (PSR) or a result of the rating development. |
(4) | The Governor Setting Point (mechanical engines) is not on the knee of the torque curve. The setting point is above the intersection point of the two curves (Somewhere between 20 and 40 RPM less than the governor setting speed). |
(5) | CSFC and NRS Parameter Tolerances, Ceiling, and Floor Values are typically factory values. Refer to the specific engine test specification for variations due to customer driven requirements and factory ability to hold these requirements. |
(6) | The Boost Value as normally measured on an engine is a function of power. The value of boost used for acceptance or non-acceptance of engine performance shall be the observed boost value adjusted in accordance with equations of the following form: Adjusted Boost = Observed Boost - Boost Constant * (Corr Full Load Power - Specified Power) * 100 / Specified Power Note C (Cont): The Boost Constant equals the change in boost (in kPa) per 1% deviation from specified power. Power at the full load point and torque at the torque check point can be used interchangeably in equation above. The Boost Constant will be supplied by the Engineering Department (See Table ** #i07693503/i07693503.465 ** ). Currently adjusted boost is reported in both the as-tested and reset results. |
(7) | Historically torque check speed should have equaled 2/3 rated speed, rounded up to the nearest 100 RPM unless otherwise specified by Performance Engineer. For all other modern electronic engines, rated and torque check speed is determined by engineering based on application requirements and test stability. |

Appendix D (Correction Factors for Engines)
The equations that are shown in this section are used to calculate the correction factors for correcting the engine performance to the standard conditions. The calculations are not intended to conform to the "Engine Power Test Code" for Spark Ignited Engines and Diesel Engines by the SAE J1349. Determine the appropriate correction factors for the type of engine and for the observed conditions. Multiply the correction factors together to obtain the total correction factor. The corrected values are found by multiplying the observed values of performance for the engine by the total correction factor. These equations are not used for altitude derailing.
Standard Conditions
The standard atmospheric pressure and the standard atmospheric temperature were defined according to the "Engine Power Test Code" for Spark Ignited Engines and Diesel Engines by the SAE J1349.
Total Barometric Pressure | 100.0 kPa |
Water Vapor Pressure | 1.0 kPa |
Dry Barometric Pressure | 99.0 kPa |
Inlet Air Temperature | 25° C |
Fuel Density | 35.0° API |
The vapor pressure for the water may be calculated by using the following equations.
Illustration 63 | g06279312 |
VP - Vapor Pressure in kPa
SP - Saturation Pressure at wet bulb temperature in kPa
Illustration 64 | g06279314 |
BP - Total barometric pressure in kPa
T dry - Dry bulb temperature in °C
T wet - Wet bulb temperature in °C
DP - Dew point in °C
Note: The air pressure for the engine inlet is defined to relate the air pressure for the engine inlet to the atmospheric pressure.
The inlet air pressure of the engine is equal to total barometric pressure minus the vapor pressure for the water and minus the inlet air restriction.
Dry barometric pressure is equal to total barometric pressure minus the vapor pressure for the water.

Appendix G (Adjusting Air Actuators)
General Instructions
This test provides instructions for adjusting the governor linkage and the Caterpillar Air Actuator. These test instructions only apply to the Caterpillar Air Actuator.
Test Conditions
This test is performed under conditions that do not have load on the engine.
The supply air pressure that is required for this procedure must be maintained between a minimum of
An air pressure regulator is required to control the air pressure that is supplied to the air actuator. The pressure gauge should have a range from
Test Procedure
- Verify that the movement of the actuator begins at a gauge pressure of
68.9476 ± 13.7895 kPa (10 ± 2 psi) . It may be necessary to adjust the preload for the spring on the actuator. The procedure is outlined in the section that is called Setting the Preload on the Spring for the Air Actuator. - Adjust the linkage for the governor to achieve low idle with a gauge pressure for the actuator of
0 kPa (0 psi) to68.9 kPa (10 psi) . This procedure is outlined in the section that is called Setting the Stop Position for the Low Idle on the Actuator. - Set the high idle stops. This procedure is outlined in the section that is called Setting the High Idle Position for the Actuator.
- Measure the information and record the information that is requested on the data sheet.
Setting the Preload on the Spring for the Air Actuator
The actuator spring is preloaded at the factory to allow the plunger to start moving when the air pressure to the actuator reaches
- Install an air pressure gauge in the line at a convenient point between the regulator for the air supply and the actuator.
- Slowly increase the air supply. The plunger should start to move when the air pressure gauge registers a reading of
68.9 ± 13.8 kPa (10 ± 2 psi) .- The preload must be increased if the plunger moves at a pressure that is less than
68.9 kPa (10 psi) . - The preload must be decreased if the plunger moves at a pressure that is greater than
68.9 kPa (10 psi) .
- The preload must be increased if the plunger moves at a pressure that is less than
- The preload is changed by reversing the set screw far enough to permit the retainer nut to turn.
- Turn the retainer nut clockwise to increase the load of the spring.
- Turn the retainer nut counterclockwise to decrease the preload.
- Once a pressure for the preload of
68.9 ± 13.8 kPa (10 ± 2 psi) has been obtained, tighten the setscrew to lock the retainer nut in place.
Setting the Low Idle Stop Position for the Actuator
For engines that are equipped with an air actuator, the low idle should be controlled by the air actuator. The low idle should not be controlled by the low idle stop for the governor. The low idle may be adjusted by changing the length of the rod linkage. Use the following procedure to set the low idle stop for the actuator.
- Start the engine and warm the engine.
- Set the hand control lever for the engine governor to low idle.
- Disconnect the rod linkage from the governor lever by removing the pin.
- Ensure that no air pressure is being delivered to the actuator.
- Place the hand control lever for the governor in the "remote" position. Ensure that the lever is against the low idle stop in the engine governor.
- Connect the rod linkage to the proper hole in the governor lever. Check the low idle speed of the engine. If the low idle speed is incorrect, the rod linkage can be adjusted to give the correct low idle. The rod linkage can also be adjusted to ensure that the rod is seated on the rod spring. Perform the following procedure to make the adjustment.
- Adjust the governor lever to the proper position on the serrated governor control shaft.
- Remove the pin from the lever and adjust the length by loosening the locknuts and turning the yokes on the rod linkage.
- After the pin is inserted in the governor lever, increase the air pressure to a partial throttle position. Then return the air pressure to a low idle position. Check the low idle RPM of the engine. The operation is repeated when the check shows a reading that is not the low idle RPM of the engine. The operation must also be repeated if the rod is not seated on the rod spring.
Setting the High Idle Position for the Actuator
The high idle stop for the governor can assist in obtaining the correct high idle adjustment on the air actuator.
- Do the following steps while the engine is running and the engine is warm. Remove the high idle locking screws for the actuator. Back out the high idle stop screws for the governor.
- Set the hand control lever for the governor in the remote position and increase the air pressure for the actuator slowly until the engine reaches the high idle RPM. Turn the two high idle stop screws for the actuator clockwise until the screws have contact with the plunger for the actuator. Do not turn the screw beyond the point of contact.
- Tighten the two locking screws for the actuator to prevent the stop screws from backing out during operation.
- Return the air regulator for the actuator to the low idle position (
68.9 kPa (10 psi) ) and move the hand control lever on the governor to the full open position. - When the engine is operated manually by the hand control lever on the governor, turn the high idle screw that is in the engine governor in the counterclockwise direction until the high idle is increased approximately 10 RPM above the specified high idle RPM. This will prevent damage to the governor. Damage is prevented by ensuring that high idle is controlled by the high idle screws on the actuator. The high idle should not be controlled by the high idle stop screws of the actuator.
- Make any corrective adjustment that is necessary on the governor's high idle screw to maintain the necessary 10 RPM high idle speed differential that is between the governor and the high idle settings of the air actuator.
Note: Both of the high idle stop screws on the actuator must be turned in the same distance and in the same direction. This is necessary because the plunger must contact both screws at the same time.

Appendix H (Glossary)
A/F Control Dynamic Setting - The dynamic setting of a device on the engine that limits the amount of fuel that is injected per stroke as a function of the boost
Aftercooler - A heat exchanger that is inserted into the induction system of an engine after any device is used to compress the combustion air.
Analog - A continuous signal of performance that represents the value of a characteristic of engine performance
Blowby - Blowby is combustion gas that leaks into the engine crankcase. The leakage is normally leakage from the combustion chamber past the piston rings or through the valve guides. Specific blowby is calculated by dividing the volume of blowby that is at atmospheric pressure by corrected power of the engine.
Boost - The gauge pressure is measured in the inlet manifold of a diesel engine. Adjusted boost is the calculated value of boost that would exist if an engine was running at nominal power. Boost is not equal to inlet manifold pressure.
Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) - BSFC is a rate of fuel consumption. The BSFC states the ability of the engine to convert the energy in diesel fuel to engine horsepower. BSFC is measured in the units “pounds of fuel consumed each hour to produce one brake horsepower”. As the value of the BSFC increases, the efficiency of the engine decreases. As the efficiency of the engine decreases, the fuel that is required per hour increases. Each model of engine has a unique BSFC, which is determined on a test stand.
Ceiling - The maximum rise for the high limit of an engine performance specification
Compressor Outlet Pressure - The gauge pressure of the combustion air at the turbocharger compressor outlet for spark ignited engines.
Correction Factor - The number that is used to find the value of the characteristic for engine performance under different operating conditions
Cranking - Rotating an engine with a source of power that is external to the engine
Cyclic - Variation in the performance characteristics which vary as the engine runs. This is especially for those characteristics which vary in a repetitive fashion.
Delta-T - The rise in temperature of the engine coolant from the inlet of the jacket water pump to the outlet for the engine coolant.
Density (Fuel) - Density for fuel is the mass of fuel per unit volume. The units of density that are used in this publication are degrees American Petroleum Institute (API) at
Fuel Pressure Differential - The gas pressure that is supplied to the carburetor on a spark ignited engine minus the pressure of the carburetor inlet
Digital - A numeric value that represents the value of a characteristic for engine performance
Displacement - The area of a piston multiplied by the length of stroke times the number of cylinders.
Droop - Droop is the decrease from no load speed to full load speed when full load is applied to a generator set. Droop is expressed as a percentage of the full load speed.
Ebullient Cooled Engine - An engine cooled by boiling water. The cooling is accomplished by turning water into steam. The latent heat of evaporation that is absorbed in this process cools the engine.
Engine Fuel Consumption - The value that is found by multiplying the corresponding BSFC by the horsepower and then dividing the result by 7.076 (the weight in pounds per gallon of standard fuel)
Fuel consumption in pounds per hour is the weight of standard fuel that is burned by the engine per hour under standard conditions to produce rated horsepower.
Excess Oxygen - Excess Oxygen is the amount of free oxygen in the products of combustion. Excess Oxygen may be expressed as a percentage of either volume or mass.
Floor - The Floor is the minimum that is allowed for the low limit of an engine performance specification to fall.
Flywheel Brake Horsepower(BHP) - This is the actual horsepower that is available at the flywheel. The measurements are taken while the engine is stripped of the accessory equipment and while the alternator and the air compressor are being operated under a “no load” condition. Caterpillar industrial engines and truck engines are measured in terms of Brake Horsepower.
Fuel Rate (Diesel) - The mass of fuel burned by an engine in a specified time. The corrected fuel rate is the actual fuel rate or the observed fuel rate that is corrected for the fuel density.
Fuel Rate (Spark Ignited Engines) - The fuel rate is the volume of fuel that is burned by an engine in a specified time. The corrected fuel rate is found by multiplying the volume of fuel at standard conditions by the lower heating value of the fuel.
Fuel Pressure - The fuel pressure that is supplied to the injection system of a diesel engine
Full Load - The maximum power that can be developed by an engine that is running at the rated speed and the fuel system is opened to the maximum specified condition.
Full Load Speed - The Full Load Speed is the speed that produces the rated horsepower. , The rack is also positioned to allow the maximum recommended amount of fuel to the engine per unit of time. The governor should reach a balance point about when the engine reaches the full load speed. In some applications, the curve of the engine performance is modified to provide an increase in horsepower when the torque spring is deflected. In this instance, the full load speed and the balance point do not occur at the same time. The increase in horsepower between the balance point and the full load speed is called the “BHP spread”.
Governor Balance Point - This point occurs at the engine speed when the fuel setting screw or pin just touches the torque spring or stop bar. The point is set by making two easily adjusted and measurable settings (high idle speed setting and the static speed setting for the rack).
Induction System - The components of an engine that are involved in providing combustion air to an engine
Inlet Air Pressure - Inlet Air Pressure is the dry air pressure that is supplied to the inlet of an engine. This is normally barometric pressure minus water vapor minus inlet air restriction.
Inlet Air Restriction - The process of dropping the combustion air from atmospheric pressure to the compressor inlet of a turbocharged engine or to the inlet manifold of a naturally aspirated engine
Inlet Fuel Pressure - The fuel pressure that is supplied to the fuel inlet of a diesel engine
Inlet Fuel Pressure (Absolute Pressure) - The gas pressure that is supplied to the fuel inlet of a spark ignited engine
Inlet Fuel Temperature - The temperature of the fuel that is supplied to the fuel inlet of either a diesel engine or a spark ignited engine
Inlet Manifold Pressure - This is the inlet manifold pressure that is above atmospheric pressure. The pressure is also referred to as “boost”. The pressure also indicates the amount of air that is being delivered to the engine. The 4S-6997 Manifold Test Gauge that is located in the test kit for the engine will read absolute pressure. The absolute pressure is “boost” plus the atmospheric pressure.
Lug - This is the application of a load on an engine that causes the engine speed to drop below the rated speed. If the engine is lugged to a point that is below the point of maximum torque, the engine will stall unless some of the load is removed.
Mixture Control - A screw or adjustable valve that is used to regulate the Air or the Fuel that is provided by a carburetor
Multiple Rating Engine - An engine which has a variable setting for the fuel at full load to provide more than one amount of power at full load
Naturally Aspirated - A term that is applied to an engine, which has no method of compressing the air that is supplied to the inlet manifold
Nominal - The Nominal value is the specified value or the target value of a performance characteristic for an engine. The nominal value is accompanied with tolerances that define the acceptable range of the characteristic value relative to the nominal value.

Rated - The specified value of a characteristic of the engine performance
Regulation - The increase in the speed of an engine that takes place after the full load is removed. Regulation is expressed as a percentage of full load speed.
Response Check - A measure of the engine's ability to develop increasing torque at a constant speed.
Response Check (Idle Speed) - The engine speed that is specified for the cool down portion of the response check.
Response Check Speed - The constant engine speed that is used to determine the time that is necessary to develop a specific torque
Response Time - A measure of the time that is required for an engine to develop a specified torque or power
Rotation of Engine - The direction of rotation of the engine flywheel as the flywheel is viewed from the rear of the engine. Rotational direction is expressed as clockwise rotation or counterclockwise rotation. The rotation of an engine is normally counterclockwise.
Separate Circuit Aftercooler - A heat exchanger that is used for cooling combustion air that is cooled by a source of water that is external to the engine
Slobber - Oil or fuel that is discharged with the exhaust gases into the exhaust system
Significant Figures - The number of digits in a number that define the precision of the number
Spark Ignited Engine - For this publication, a spark ignited engine is a gaseous fueled engine.
Specific Fuel Consumption - The fuel rate divided by the power. Corrected specific fuel consumption is the value that is obtained when the corrected fuel rate is divided by the corrected power.
Stabilized - The steady condition or cyclic condition of a characteristic of engine performance that remains unchanged with time as the engine is running under a given steady state condition.
Static Fuel System Setting - A setting of the fuel system that is made to obtain the desired fuel rate at a particular operating point of the engine. The settings are normally made to provide either the fuel rate at full load or the fuel rate at torque check RPM. The settings are identified as the Static Fuel Setting at full load or the Static Fuel Setting at full torque.
Timing (Diesel) - The angular position of the crankshaft relative to top dead center at the start of injection
Timing (Spark Ignited Engine) - The angular position of the crankshaft relative to top dead center at the start of the spark plugs being energized.
Tolerances - The value that is used to specify the range for a characteristic of the engine performance
Top Dead Center (TDC) - The position of the crankshaft as the piston is at the highest position.
Torque - Torque is an effort of twisting. Torque is a measure of the tendency of a force to cause rotation and torque is often used in engine specifications.
Torque at Torque Check(TC) RPM - The steady state torque that is developed by an engine at the Torque Check Speed .
Torque Check Speed - The speed that is used to check the performance characteristics at low speed of the engine
Valve Lash - The clearance that is set into the valve mechanism to prevent an inlet valve or an exhaust valve from being held open while the mechanism is hot.
Water Vapor Pressure - The partial pressure of the water vapor in the combustion air that is being supplied to an engine

Throttle Control
Note: Using the throttle pin for throttle control is an option when Cat ET is not available for speed override.
For 9 - pin connectors (Illustration 69), the throttle input is pin h.
For A4 (2 70 pin connectors) and A4 (1 70 pin connector, 1 120 pin connector) ECMs the throttle pin input is J1-66.
For A2 ECMs (2 40 Pin connector), the throttle input is pin 37.
For most the time, the throttle inputs are not used in the hot test cells. The test cells instead use the engine software's desired engine speed override (ComET UID 0x00040020).
Appendix J: CRS Test Procedure
Required added functionality test for engines with engine-mounted Caterpillar Regeneration System (CRS):
The CRS test is broken into two sections. Section one is to provide verification that the air line, fuel lines, and control valves are functioning and free from major leaks. Section two is a functional test to ensure that the CRS performs as specified by Engineering.
CRS Test - Section 1
Section one CRS leak check definition is as follows:
- Collect a base line from the engine electronics (ECM) for the CRS Air Flow, CRS Pilot Pressure, and CRS Main Pressure with all control valves closed.
- Override the CRS Air Control Valve to a constant value and measure the CRS Air Flow to ensure that it climbs above the base line.
- Reclose the Air Control Valve and verify the air flow returns to the baseline value.
- Open only the CRS Fuel Enable Control Valve and verify that the CRS Pilot and Main Pressures do not increase to check for leaks past the CRS Pilot and Main Valves.
- Reclose the CRS Fuel Enable Control Valve.
- Open only the CRS Fuel Pressure Control Valve (Pilot and Main) and verify that the Pilot and Main pressures do not increase to check for leaks past the CRS Fuel Enable Control Valve.
- Reclose the CRS Fuel Pressure Control Valve.
If any of the above fail to perform as described, section one is considered failed, and will not allow the CRS performance check to be run. In addition, if BOTH Fuel Valves fail each independent leak check that the engine will be shut down.
CRS Test - Section 2
CRS Performance check definition is as follows:
- Set the engine to defined load/speed point as defined for the model being tested (split is between Heavy Duty and Mid Range).
- Override the CRS System to perform regeneration.
- Wait for the CRS Flame Detect Temperature and CRS Main Pressure to reach their low limits, then wait an additional 15 seconds for stability to be reached.
- The Performance check will be aborted after 90 seconds if CRS Flame Detect Temperature or CRS Main Pressure do not reach their low limits.
- For heavy-duty applications the CRS Air Purge Pump, if applicable, will always be activated at the end of this check. This pump will be verified by monitoring the CRS Pilot and Main Pressures during the Nozzle only function with the pump in High-Speed mode.
- The following data is collected as pass/fail criteria as part of the production test:
- CRS Pilot Pressure
- CRS Main Pressure
- CRS Air Control Pressure
- CRS Flame Detect Temperature
- CRS Air Pump Function (Heavy-Duty Only)
In the case of any fuel component repair or replacement to the Caterpillar Regeneration System, a pressurized system leak test shall be performed prior to complete retest.
