(1) Fuel consumption is based on a load factor of approximately 60% of the continuous rating.
(2) Fuel consumption is based on a load factor of approximately 30%.Severe Operation
Severe operation is the use of an engine that exceeds current published standards for that engine. Caterpillar maintains standards for the following engine parameters:
Horsepower
Range of rpm
Fuel consumption
Fuel quality
Altitude
Maintenance intervals
Selection of oil
Selection of coolant
Environmental qualities
InstallationRefer to the standards for your engine or consult your Cat dealer to determine if your engine is operating within the defined parameters.Severe operation can accelerate component wear and may reduce the hours to overhaul. Engines that are operating under severe conditions may need more frequent maintenance intervals for the following reasons:
Maximum reliability
Retention of full service lifeBecause of individual applications, identifying all the factors which can contribute to severe operation is difficult. Consult your Cat dealer about the maintenance that is needed for your specific engine.The following factors can contribute to severe operation: environment, improper operating procedures, and improper maintenance practices.Environmental Factors
Extreme Ambient Temperatures
Extended operation in environments that are cold or hot can damage components. Valve components can be damaged by carbon buildup if the engine is frequently started and stopped in cold temperatures. Hot inlet air reduces the performance capabilities of the engine.Note: See this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Cold-Weather Operation" topic (Operation Section), or see Special Publication, SEBU5898, "Cold-Weather Recommendations".Cleanliness
Unless the equipment is cleaned regularly, extended operation in a dirty environment and in a dusty environment can damage components. Built up mud, dirt, and dust can encase components. This condition can make maintenance difficult. The buildup can contain corrosive chemicals. Corrosive chemicals and salt can damage some components.The high-pressure fuel system is sensitive to debris. The debris can lead to early erosion and replacement for many of the high-pressure fuel system components and lack of performance. Caution should be taken by covering any fuel system opening during maintenance with a CLEAN cover. Refer to Special Instruction, SEBF9107, "CR1100 Fuel System Flushing Procedure" and Special Instruction, SEBF9109, "CR1100 Fuel System Assembly and Handling Guidelines" for information on handling and assembling fuel system components.Improper Operating Procedures
Extended operation at low idle
Minimum cool down periods after high load factor operation
Operating the engine beyond the guidelines for the engine rating
Operating the engine at loads that are greater than the rated load
Operating the engine at speeds that are greater than the rated speed
Use of the engine for an application that is not approvedImproper Maintenance Practices
Extension of maintenance intervals
Not using recommended fuel, lubricants, and coolant/antifreeze
