ACERT Technology. The Cat C11 ACERTengine introduces a series of evolutionary,incremental improvements that providebreakthrough engine technology builton systems and components developedby Caterpillar with proven reliability.The technology capitalizes on Caterpillarexpertise in four core engine systems:fuel, air, electronics and after treatment.ACERT technology is a unique andrevolutionary systems solution thatenables Cat engines to meet today’sclean air regulations, thus establishingthe building blocks for attainingtomorrow’s more stringent standards.

C11 Block. The one-piece, gray ironblock features generous ribbing forstiffness and heavy bearing bulkheadsfor rigidity and strength as the crankshaftturns. Straight O-ring connection pointsreduce the loss of engine oil and fluids.

Cylinder Head and Piston Technology.The C11 has a cross-flow cylinder headwith refined port geometry, whichimproves breathing and provides bettercombustion. The Monotherm/steelpistons have a forged steel design, whichoffers high strength, light weight andtighter tolerances. The result is betteroil control, minimal blow-by and longliner life.

Advanced Diesel Engine Management(ADEM) A4 Engine Controller.The ADEM A4 electronic controlmodule manages fuel delivery to getthe best performance per liter or gallonof fuel used. The engine managementsystem provides flexible fuel mapping,allowing the engine to respond quicklyto varying application needs. It tracksengine and machine conditions whilekeeping the engine operating at peakefficiency.

Fuel Delivery. Multiple injectionfuel delivery involves a high degreeof precision. Precisely shaping thecombustion cycle lowers combustionchamber temperatures, generatingfewer emissions and optimizing fuelcombustion. This translates into morework output for your fuel cost.

Noise Reduction Technologies.Noise reduction has been achievedthrough design changes to the isolatedtop cover, oil pan, multiple injectionstrategy, insulated timing case cover,sculpted crankcase and gear trainrefinements.

Cat C11 Engine with ACERT TechnologyA combination of proven systems and innovative new technologies, ACERT engines optimizeperformance while meeting EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3a engine exhaust emission regulations.

Mechanically Actuated ElectronicUnit Injection (MEUI). A highly evolvedfuel system with a proven record ofreliability in the field. It combines thetechnical advancement of an electroniccontrol system with the simplicityof direct mechanically controlled unitfuel injection. It excels in its abilityto control injection pressure over theentire engine operating speed range.These features allow the C11 to havecomplete control over injection timing,duration and pressure.

Air-to-Air Aftercooling (ATAAC).ATAAC keeps air intake temperaturesdown and, in concert with the tighttolerance combustion chambercomponents, maximizes fuel efficiencyand minimizes emissions. Significantimprovements in airflow are generatedby a turbocharger, unique cross-flowhead and a single overhead camshaft.

Wastegate Turbocharging. Singlewastegate turbocharger provides higherboost over a wide range, outstandinglow-end performance with improvedpeak torque and enhanced engineresponse.

Electronic Transmission. The Caterpillarsix-speed electronically controlledtransmission is designed specifically forthe articulated truck and its applications.It features anti-hunt shift strategy forspeed continuity.

Electronic Clutch Pressure Control.ECPC technology works with theControlled Throttle Shifting to manageshift torque and provide exceptionalshift smoothness.

Controlled Throttle Shifting (CTS).Significantly reduces power train stressand clutch wear by controlling enginespeed, torque converter lock-up andtransmission clutch engagements.

Engine Overspeed Inhibitor. ElectronicTransmission Control (ETC) protectsagainst engine overspeeding by shiftingthe transmission up one gear at specifiedrpm settings. If the transmission is in itshighest gear, torque converter lockupdisengages.

Directional Shift Management.Regulates engine speed during directionalshifts to prevent damage caused byhigh-speed directional changes.

Programmable Top Gear Selection.Electronic Transmission Control letsyou electronically limit top gear selectionwithout the use of additional servicetooling or mechanical limiting ofthe shift cane.

Retarder. Integral retarder withhigh-power density design. Due to itscompact size, the unit quickly fills withoil, providing more retarding powerand fast response times.

Retarder Power. Increased powercapability gives operators greater controlon short, steep grades and minimizesthe need to apply the brakes, resultingin extended service brake life.

Hydraulic Fan. The remote-mountedhydraulic fan is temperature sensitiveproviding variable speeds when needed,which minimizes power requirements.The result is more power to the groundand faster cycle times.
