RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

C Rating (Maximum Continuous) - Power

% Load Factor: 20 to 80
% Time at Rated RPM: up to 50
Typical Time at Full Load: 6 hours out of 12
Typical Hour/Year: 2000 to 4000
Typical Applications: For vessels operating at rated load
and rated speed up to 50% of the time with cyclical load
and speed (20% to 80% load factor). Typical
applications could include but are not limited to vessels
such as ferries, harbor tugs, fishing boats, offshore
service boats, displacement hull yachts, or short trip
costal freighters. Typical operation ranges from 2000 to
4000 hours per year.
at declared engine speed is in accordance with
ISO3046-1:2002E. Caterpillar maintains
ISO9001:1994/QS-9000 approved engine test facilities
to assure accurate calibration of test equipment.
Electronically controlled engines are set at the factory at
the advertised power corrected to standard ambient
conditions. The published fuel consumption rates are in
accordance with ISO3046-1:2002E.
Fuel rates
are based on fuel oil of 35º API [16ºC (60ºF)] gravity
having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg (18,390 Btu/lb) when
used at 29ºC (85ºF) and weighing 838.9 g/L (7.001
lb/U.S. gal). Additional ratings may be available for
specific customer requirements. Consult your Caterpillar
representative for additional information.

Performance data is calculated in accordance with tolerances and conditions stated in this specification sheet and is
only intended for purposes of comparison with other manufacturer's engines. Actual engine performance may vary
according to the particular application of the engine and operating conditions beyond Caterpillar's control.

Power produced at the flywheel will be within standard tolerances up to 49º C (120º F) combustion air temperature
measured at the air cleaner inlet, and fuel temperature up to 52º C (125ºF) measured at the fuel filter base. Power
rated in accordance with NMMA procedure as crankshaft power. Reduce crankshaft power by 3% for propeller shaft
power.
