Cat C280-16 Genset Spec Sheet

Product catalog summary

Specifications
The document outlines the specifications of a V-16, 4-stroke-cycle diesel engine compliant with IMO/EPA Tier 2 emissions standards. Key features include a bore of 280 mm, a stroke of 300 mm, and a displacement of 296 liters. The engine rotates counterclockwise from the flywheel end, with a compression ratio of 13:1. It is turbocharged and aftercooled, featuring an electronic governor. The low idle speed is 350 rpm, and the rated speed is 900 rpm. The oil change interval is 600 hours, subject to S•O•SSM analysis.

Standard Equipment
The engine includes an air inlet system with a fresh water aftercooler, an electronic control system with a single ADEM™ A3 ECU, and a cooling system with engine coolant water drains. The exhaust system features a dry, gas-tight exhaust manifold. The fuel system uses distillate fuel with specific viscosity requirements and includes a fuel transfer pump, duplex fuel filters, and electronically controlled unit injectors. The lube oil system has centrifugal oil filters and various valves for pressure regulation and explosion relief.

Performance Data
The engine is rated for marine auxiliary and diesel electric propulsion, with a power output of 4400 ekW and 4600 bkW at 60 Hz and 900 rpm. Performance data includes engine power, generator power, brake mean effective pressure (BMEP), and engine efficiency at various loads. Fuel consumption is detailed under ISO 3046/1 standards, with nominal and 90% confidence values provided.

Emissions and Energy Balance
Emissions data includes NOx, THC, CO, and particulate matter under "not to exceed" and "nominal" conditions. Energy balance data covers fuel input energy, heat rejection to various components, and conditions for engine rating.

Conditions and Definitions
Engine ratings are based on ISO 3046/1 and SAE J1995 standards, with specific conditions for temperature, pressure, and humidity. Fuel rates are based on specific API and temperature conditions. The document also includes altitude deration factors and aftercooler heat rejection factors.

Sound Data
Sound pressure levels are provided for free-field mechanical and exhaust noise at various distances from the engine, measured in dB(A).

Additional Information
The document includes information on continuous power ratings, marine certification, and engine dimensions. The engine is built at ISO 9001:2000 certified facilities, and all specifications are subject to change without notice.

Marine Certification
The engine ratings are approved by several marine classification societies, including ABS, BV, CCS, DnV, GL, LRS, and RINA. These approvals include factory line production, eliminating the need for a society surveyor witness test.

Rating Definitions and Conditions
The engine model C280-16 is specified for auxiliary and diesel electric propulsion with a power output of 5200 ekW. Performance data is calculated under specific tolerances and conditions for comparison purposes, with actual performance varying based on application and conditions.

Engine Dimensions
The engine dimensions are provided as follows: Length of Engine - 5007 mm (197.0 in), Length with Generator - 9314 mm (366.7 in), Width of Engine - 1990 mm (78.3 in), Height - 4167 mm (164.1 in). The dry weight of the engine is approximately 28,500 kg (62,832 lb), and the generator weight is approximately 18,145 kg (40,000 lb).

Performance Conditions
Power produced at the flywheel is within standard tolerances up to 49°C (120°F) combustion air temperature and fuel temperature up to 52°C (125°F). Power is rated according to NMMA procedure as crankshaft power, with a 3% reduction for propeller shaft power.

Trademarks
The document notes that CAT, CATERPILLAR, and related logos and trademarks are owned by Caterpillar and cannot be used without permission.
