Latest C7.1 engine meets Tier 4 Final/Stage IV using SCR

Caterpillar’s industrial engines division is using the C7.1 as a common engine platform as a replacement for the C6.6 as it meets Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emissions regulations. It means the 7.1litre six-cylinder C7.1 offers power ratings from 116kW to 225kW in either single turbo or series turbo configurations, and adds an SCR catalyst and diesel exhaust fluid dosing system as part of the existing exhaust after-treatment process.

At Tier 4 Final/Stage IV, the C7.1 offers a 5% total fluid consumption gain over its Tier 4i/Stage IIIb counterpart.
178 Caterpillar’s industrial engines division is using the C7.1 as a common engine platform as a replacement for the C6.6 as it meets Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emissions regulations.

It means the 7.1litre six-cylinder C7.1 offers power ratings from 116kW to 225kW in either single turbo or series turbo configurations, and adds an SCR catalyst and diesel exhaust fluid dosing system as part of the existing exhaust after-treatment process.

This revised emissions control system is now passive – previous versions of the C7.1 engine used a DPF with active regeneration system – and this latest version is said by Cat to have no impact on machine operation.
Cat said this latest C7.1 engine has been proven to have a total fluid consumption – diesel fuel and diesel exhaust fluid – of up to 5% less than its Tier 4i/Stage IIIB predecessor.

Stand: A4, 316

    Hatz has revised its three and four cylinder L and M series air-cooled engine packages to comply with emissions regulations by including a cooled EGR system, DOC and DPF with active regeneration. The exhaust after-treatment package can be remote-mounted, said Hatz, and brings a 2dB(A) reduction in exhaust noise to the air-cooled engine.

    Cummins used bauma to reveal the QSF3.8 – a four-cylinder engine platform delivering a power range of 63-89kW – which is ready to meet Stage IV/Tier 4 Final emissions regulations. Using only SCR for its exhaust after-treatment process, the QSF3.8 avoids the need for either DOC or DPF as a result of using a high-efficiency catalyst to convert oxides of nitrogen at lower exhaust temperatures while requiring only low doses of DEF, said the company.

    Hatz has boosted diesel engine efficiency with an all-new four-cylinder 2litre platform that combines low weight with low fuel consumption and meets Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emissions regulations without the need for a DPF. Called the 4H50TIC, the new engine uses two-valve cylinder head design to cut frictional losses, while opting for lower injection pressures of 1,800bar to contribute towards improved fuel efficiency.
