C12.9 Marine Propulsion Engine Caterpillar


Air Inlet and Exhaust System

Usage:

C12.9 PC7


Illustration 1g06020430

Air, drawn in and compressed by the turbo compressors, flows through the fresh water charge air coolers.

The latter, by reducing temperature, allows an increase in the engines volumetric efficiency.

The air density at the inlet of the intake manifold is measured by two sensors, for pressure and temperature, allowing the ECU of the EDC system to calculate the related injected fuel quantity and timing to optimize combustion.

Lubricating oil vapors (CCV) not condensed in the separator, are sent to the engine intake by a gauged hole downstream of the air filters refer to CCV Filter.

Exhaust gas expelled by the engine flows through the cooled exhaust manifold to reach the turbo compressors wheels.

Exhaust manifold and turbo bearing housing are fresh water cooled.

Exhaust gases flow into the exhaust riser, if equipped, and mixed with the sea water before to be expelled overboard.

Supercharger Only on 1000HP

An extra radial compressor, in series with the engine turbocharging system provide more boost, at low engine RPM only, increasing engine torque, and load response
