A picture of this D10 can be found on pages of a book titled "The Caterpillar Century" on pages 298-297. Caterpillar put the 1,786 cid V-12 twin turbocharged D348 in the D10 to power it. This had already proven itself in the 777 off-highway hauler and the 550 hp (410 kW) 10 yards (9.1 m) 992/992B wheel loaders from 1968 on.
Consumption map of a 1.5-litre three-cylinder diesel engine. A consumption map or efficiency map [1] is a chart that displays the brake-specific fuel consumption of an internal combustion engine at a given rotational speed and mean effective pressure, in grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kWh).
The D11N was introduced in February 1986 to replace the D10. The D11N had some major improvements over the D10: it includes a bigger track and blade, and a longer track by 21 inches (0.53 m). The U blade was just under 21 feet (6.4 m) wide and 7 feet (2.1 m) high. This increased the blade capacity to 45 cu yd (34 m 3). The D11N's weight was ...
Fuel consumption is the major portion of diesel plant owning and operating costs for power applications, whereas capital cost is the primary concern for backup generators. Specific consumption varies, but a modern diesel plant will, at its near-optimal 65-70% loading, generate at least 3 kWh per liter (ca. 30% fuel efficiency ratio). [6] [7]
In 1968, Caterpillar bought the rights to this concept, thus the 770 hp (570 kW) DD9G was created (DD stands for Dual D9G). [1] Peterson also built the first SxS D9G, which has two D9Gs side-by-side, pushing a 24-foot (7.3 m)-wide bulldozer blade. In 1969, Caterpillar introduced this new SxS D9G.
In February 1900, this engine ran under its own power for the first time. However, with its actual power output of only 6.95 PS (5 kW; 7 hp) and high fuel consumption of 380 g·PS −1 ·h −1 (517 g·kW −1 ·h −1), it did not prove to be successful; [4] Güldner's two-stroke diesel engine project was abandoned in 1901. [5]
It is the rate of fuel consumption divided by the power produced. In traditional units, it measures fuel consumption in pounds per hour divided by the brake horsepower, lb/(hp⋅h); in SI units, this corresponds to the inverse of the units of specific energy, kg/J = s 2 /m 2. It may also be thought of as power-specific fuel consumption, for ...
With the Caterpillar D10 in 1977, Caterpillar resurrected a design by Holt and Best, the high-sprocket-drive, since known as the "High Drive", [27] which had the advantage of keeping the main drive shaft away from ground shocks and dirt, [28] and is still used in their larger dozers.
