ACERT technology represents the culmination of years of unparalleled innovation and unprecedented success where it counts most: on the road. Because it utilizes our own proven air, fuel, electronics and aftertreatment systems, it could only have come from Caterpillar. And because engines featuring ACERT technology offer the performance, reliability and economy that add up to leading-edge value, the Pure Power they deliver is available only to Caterpillar customers.

History of Cat Innovation

Engine Shipments

popular 3126E, all the way through to the heavy duty C15 (formerly the 3406), these engines employ design and engineering concepts that have already been tested and proven reliable in real-world applications. This ensures the uninterrupted continuation of the value you’ve come to expect from Cat.

When tougher emissions regulations went into effect in 2002, other engine makers turned to a compromise: Cooled-EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) technology that recycles exhaust back through the engine in an attempt to reduce emissions. But Caterpillar engineers didn’t stop there. Instead, we continued to search for a better answer—a long term solution that would provide the same kind of reliability, durability, fuel economy and resale value Cat customers have always counted on.

Revolution Through Evolution After intensive lab testing and millions of miles of real-world, on the road proof, we discovered the answer: ACERT technology, an innovative “systems solution” that derives from proven Cat components and technology. It’s a “revolution through evolution” that not only meets today’s clean air regulations, but also establishes the building blocks for attaining tomorrow’s more stringent standards. Most importantly, ACERT technology

provides Cat customers with all of the reliability, durability and fuel economy Cat engines are renowned for providing. ACERT technology is Caterpillar’s innovative, long-term solution for generating Pure Power…and pure customer value. The following pages detail how this breakthrough technology combines four existing engine systems into a single, unparalleled success.

Improved Air System Management Improved air management, a basic building block of ACERT technology, is also the most visible of its four integrated systems. Caterpillar heavy duty engines with ACERT technology employ series turbochargers to force more cool, clean air into the combustion chamber—not the recycled exhaust gas of cooled-EGR technology. And Cat engines with ACERT technology use proven turbo technology, not the complicated Variable Geometry Turbocharger components employed by some other engine manufacturers. Working together in series, the

turbos turn slower, resulting in increased turbo component life. This turbocharger arrangement improves engine response while lowering oxides of nitrogen and increasing fuel economy.

Controlling Air Volume ACERT technology is also able to control the air volume required at various engine loads and speeds, resulting in more complete combustion and better fuel economy. This is accomplished through variable valve actuation. Inside the engine, this process allows precise control of valve actuation complementary to camshaft actuation. Valve position

is changed based on engine demands, as monitored by advanced Cat electronics. Only the Cat air management system with Cat electronics make variable valve actuation possible, because it utilizes technology from our proprietary HEUI fuel system and our extensive knowledge of hydraulics.

Looking to the Future For C11 and C13 engines, the variable valve actuation design permits control of an integral compression brake. By 2004 this integral compression brake will be optional in all Cat heavy duty engines.

Advanced Fuel Systems Minimizing exhaust emissions and maximizing fuel economy requires the most complete combustion possible. So Caterpillar engines with ACERT technology employ time-tested HEUI™ and MEUI (Mechanically activated, Electronically controlled Unit Injection) fuel systems.

fuel delivery to the combustion chamber, reducing emissions and optimizing fuel economy.

Both of these systems are designed and built by Caterpillar. This proprietary technology allows us to fine tune each fuel system for each unique engine—and your application.

With split injection, a minute amount of fuel is injected at the beginning of combustion. This is the pilot injection. A millisecond later, during combustion, a larger volume of fuel is used as the main injection. Then a post injection, another smaller amount of fuel, completes the cycle. How much fuel is injected at each phase is determined by advanced Cat electronics.

Increasing Fuel Economy

Cutting Emissions at the Source

The C7 and C9 engines feature our proven HEUI fuel system, while the C11, C13 and C15 feature the Cat MEUI fuel system. Both the HEUI and MEUI systems are designed to provide a patented split injection

The split fuel injection strategy incorporated into ACERT technology lowers peak cylinder temperatures, allowing fuel to burn more completely. This translates to not only lower emissions, but also superior fuel economy.

Advanced Engine Electronics If the heart of ACERT technology is the combustion process, then the brain of this breakthrough systems approach is Caterpillar’s advanced engine electronics. Cat electronics play a crucial role in reducing exhaust emissions by working to synchronize and harmonize the components of ACERT technology.

conditions. Then—in much the same way as the engine automatically adapts to airflow needs by increasing or decreasing turbocharger boost—the electronic control module sends out signals that variable valve actuators and fuel injectors convert into mechanical responses.

Sensing Operating Conditions

Integrating All Components

First, the system senses the engine’s ever-changing operating

The result: precise and efficient integration of engine components

under any operating conditions. This provides greater flexibility to optimize power, fuel economy, and emissions. Advanced Cat electronics is the key to making the four separate systems of ACERT technology work as an efficient unit. And that, in turn, is the key to better performance and value to your bottom line.

Simple, Effective Aftertreatment While the combustion process functions to cut oxides of nitrogen (NOx), it’s only part of the story. Regulated exhaust emissions also include particulates, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. So a simple, effective exhaust aftertreatment completes the story of ACERT technology: the Caterpillar Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC).

Counting on Proven Components Proven reliable over time, the stainless steel Cat DOC has no moving parts, requires no maintenance, and is literally designed to last as long as the engine itself. In fact, over the past decade more than 120,000 engines have been manufactured utilizing this unique aftertreatment system—and have shown virtually no reliability issues. Located in the exhaust system, the DOC consists of a honeycomb-like structure covered by a chemical coating that acts as a catalyst. As hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate exhaust emissions pass through the DOC and come into contact with the catalyst, they are chemically converted into carbon dioxide and water vapor—harmless substances that are subsequently passed on out of the exhaust system.

Taking the Final Step Simply put, Cat’s proven DOC aftertreatment system represents “elegant engineering” at its best. It’s the final step that allows engines with ACERT technology to meet today’s tough emissions standards. It’s also one more example of how you can count on Cat to come up with solutions that work in the real world, systems that work together well, and products that provide maximum value for the long haul.
