DESCRIPTION
G3600 ADEM™4 engines provide a wide range of power options to fit your gas compression application. G3600 ADEM™4 engines bring the highest uptime in the industry and long operating intervals between overhaul. Operators that use G3600 ADEM™4 engines in their fleet enjoy virtually no unscheduled downtime, the right power for their application, the lowest operating costs, and emissions compliance. Ideal applications for G3600 ADEM™4 engines include centralized gathering stations, gas processing, transmissions, and storage applications. Cat G3608 ADEM™4 Gen 1 gas engine with ratings: 1864 bkW (2500 bhp) @ 1000 rpm and Cat G3608 ADEM™4 Gen 2 gas engine ratings : 2051 bKW (2750 bhp) @ 1000 rpm. NSPS site compliant capable.Engine Design
- Industry-leading power with ambient-based rating capability - ADEM4 engine control system provides complete engine control, monitoring, and protection while maintaining emissions. - Widest fuel tolerance in the industry for application flexibility - Proven reliability and durability with the lowest owning and operating costs - Factory-installed thermostats
Emissions
Meets U.S. EPA Spark Ignited Stationary NSPS Emissions for 2010 with the use of an oxidation catalyst
Lean Burn Engine Technology
Lean-burn engines operate with large amounts of excess air. The excess air absorbs heat during combustion reducing the combustion temperature and pressure, greatly reducing levels of NOx. Lean-burn design also provides longer component life and excellent fuel consumption.
Ease of Operation
Includes engine mounted thermostats, compress oil cooler connections, jacket water and lube oil heater connections.
Advanced Digital Engine Management
ADEM4 engine management system integrates speed control, air/fuel ratio control, and ignition/detonation controls into a complete engine management system. ADEM4 has improved: user interface, display system, shutdown controls, and system diagnostics.
Gas Engine Rating Pro
GERP is a web-based program designed to provide site performance capabilities for Cat® natural gas engines for the gas compression industry. GERP provides engine data for your site's altitude, ambient temperature, fuel, engine coolant heat rejection, performance data, installation drawings, spec sheets, and pump curves.https://gerp.cat.com
