3Diesel Technology
- Diesel is the workhorse of the economy
- Efficient
- Durable
- Clean
4What Are Diesel Engine Emissions?
- Diesel engines produce four regulated emissions
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)
Hydrocarbons (HC)
C
Particulate Matter (PM)
SOF
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
SO4
- The emphasis is historically on NOx and PM
- NOx and PM act as tradeoffs
- During combustion, the sulfur in fuel converts to
S02

13EPA Retrofit Technology Verification
- Retrofit technology can be any change to an
engine system above and beyond what is required
by EPA regulations that improves the engines
emission performance - Aftertreatment (catalyst, filter, etc)
- Engine upgrade and Early engine replacement
- Use of cleaner fuels
- Idling control equipment and other reduced idling
strategies - Combination of above, others
- Technology Verification
- EPA has a rigorous testing program for evaluating
technologies - Memorandum of Agreement between EPA and CARB
- Collaboration with Texas

14Emissions Retrofit Upgrade Groups
An innovative use of previously certified
technology!
- Available for select off-road applications
- Upgrade at overhaul from unregulated to Tier 1
levels - Cost effective solutions
- Same OEM reliability and serviceability
15Emissions Retrofit Engine Repowers
Reducing emissions by replacing pre-Tier 1
engines in vehicles with regulated engines.
- Prepares for aftertreatment
- Primary NOx solution for Retrofit
-
16Repower Considerations
- Installation
- Engine and support systems must fit
- Performance
- Specifications must match to maintain the drive
train reliability and overall performance - Operation
- No modification can adversely affect the basic
machine operation
17Aftertreatment Technologies
Oxidation Catalyst CO HC Reduction Soon to be
an EPA requirement on stationary
engines gt 500 hp
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) NOx
Reduction Requires Urea Additive Controls
Three-Way Catalyst NOx, CO, HC Reduction Rich
Burn Gas Engines Only
Particulate Filter Particulate
Reduction Application and Fuel Specific
18SCR System Schematic
N2 CO2H2O
NOx
(NH2)2CO H2O
19Particulate Filter Application Considerations
- Installation
- Specifications must match the machine type or
application - Performance
- Need to have a regeneration strategy
- Operation
- Requires the use of ULSD fuel
- Includes warning device
20966G Series II
966G Series I
950G Series I
966G Series I
21Alternative Diesel Fuels
- Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (lt15 ppm sulfur)
- ULSD meeting Cat distillate fuel specifications
may be used in all Caterpillar engines - Biodiesel
- Up to B20 for engines gt 150 HP
- Up to B5 for engines lt 150 HP
- Must meet Caterpillars biodiesel specification,
ASTM D6751, or EN 14214
