MEP-PU-810B INTERIOR VIEW
The two engines are Caterpillar 3456 EPG Engines. They are Liquid-cooled, 6 cylinder, four-cycle, turbocharged, and after-cooled and have a 15.8 Liter (964 cubic inch) displacement. Both Generators are Caterpillar model SR4B. The generator is a brushless, rotating armature exciter, single-bearing, air-cooled, open drip-proof unit. The generator is directly connected to the engine. The generator is a permanent magnet pilot excited (PMPE) generator that receives power for the voltage regulator from the pilot exciter, rather than the main armature as in self-excited generators. The pilot exciter consists of permanent magnet (PM) rotor and PM armature (stator). The pilot exciter operates independently. The generator is Wye connected. For 60 Hz operation the output is 4160 volts line to line, 2400 volts line to neutral, 3 phase, 4 wire, Wye connected generator. For 50 Hz operation the output is 3800 volts, 3800 volts line to line, 2200 volts line to neutral, 3 phase, 4 wire, Wye connected generator. The housing is a weather-tight enclosure that provides access for maintenance, overhaul, or replacement of major components. For proper airflow through the PU housing, all doors must be closed while the unit is running. •
Lifting and Tie-downs - The van has standard ISO corner fittings on the top 4 corners for lifting by a standard 20 foot ISO lifting frame using ISO Extenders, see Figure 2.1-1 and Figure 2.1-4. One ISO Extender is needed for each ISO Fitting on the PU. Although the van has ISO features it is NOT stackable. - The van has tie-down features rated to meet the system.
•
Engine Fluid Drains - Each PU is provided with a serviceable means of draining engine fluids such as oil, coolant and fuel through the bottom exterior of the van.
•

USAF TO 35C2-3-518-1 USA TM 9-6115-484-14 DRS RADIAN CTM 01646.1R0253/1R0254 •
Floor Vents - A section of the floor under the generators in the engine-generator compartment is ventilated to allow air to be drawn through the compartment for ventilation air and engine combustion air. A shield is provided below the floor vents to minimize debris such as rocks or dirt from being thrown into the generator compartment during towing.
•
Grounding Lug – Two Ground lugs are provided on the PU for connecting the external ground connections. The ground lugs are a 4/0 split-bolt copper lug and are designed for repeated use. The ground lugs are located under the Local Control Panel (LCP). Refer to figures 5.1.3.1-1 and 5.1.3.1-3 for the “A” and “B” models grounding lug locations.
2.2
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VERSIONS
The "A" and "B" versions differ due to the two styles of trailers and associated hardware. See Table 2.2-1. TABLE 2.2-1
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VERSIONS
TRAILER TOWING HITCH
The "A" version PU uses a trailer lunette with a 3 inch inside diameter. It hooks to the tow pintle of the towing vehicle. The "B" version PU uses a fifth wheel, which slides on and hooks to the fifth wheel plate of the towing vehicle.
RUNNING BRAKES
The “A” version uses a surge brake system that is an integral part of the towing hitch. When braking, trailer inertia pushes a rod against the master cylinder and applies the trailer brakes using a conventional hydraulic system. The “B” version uses a standard air DOT anti-lock brake system (ABS) for fifth wheel trailers. It includes a full function service and spring brake valve, ABS control module, service and supply hoses, glad hands, and a 2,800 cu. in. air tank.
BRAKES
The parking brake on the “A” version is a mechanical manual crank devise that clamps over the inside rear tires. The “B” version uses an air control spring brake system. When the trailer is being towed, powerful springs in the brake chamber are held back by air pressure. When the parking brakes are applied or the PU is disconnected, air pressure is released from the chamber and the springs apply mechanical brakes to each wheel hub.
VAN LIGHTS
The "B" version PU trailer has lights for clearance, reflectors, turn signals, and tail/stoplights in accordance with Department Of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS), 121, 571.124 standards for commercial operations. For towing with a commercial truck, the commercial lights are powered by the vehicle 12-volt electrical system and are provided with a 7-way intervehicular cable. In addition, a set of blackout lights including clearance, reflectors, turn signal, and tail/stop-lights powered by the vehicle 24-volt electrical system. A 12-way intervehicular cable is provided for towing with military vehicles. When in the blackout mode of operation, the commercial lights are non-operational
STEPS
The "B" version trailer is provided with a commercial ladder to allow access into the PU trailer at any of the PU side doors. Ladder storage is above the PDC within the interior PU when the ladder is not in use or during transportation of the PU.
TIRES
The “A” version is provided with a LT235/85R16 with a load range of E.
TIRES
The “B” version is provided with a 11R22.5 with a load range of G.
STORAGE
The “B” version has a general cargo storage box 24IN. x 24IN. x 54IN.

SETPOINTS
Set points are defined in Annex D and Chapter 5 of this manual. 3.2.3.1.2.4.2
LOCKOUT FUNCTIONS
When the Generator overcurrent relay senses either an overcurrent or short circuit fault, it trips open its associated breaker and places the associated engine in “Cooldown”. However in a multiple PU power plant, the overcurrent relay sends a signal to the PLC indicating a fault condition. The PLC turns off the Economizing Mode and prevents any offline generator from starting and locks out all respective breakers preventing them from re-closing either automatically or manually. The trip LED is on as long as the trip signal is sealed-in. As long as the trip is active, the generator will not start automatically and the control system will recognize the affected generator as being unavailable.

Synchroscope/ Synchcheck Relay (SC/25M) This meter provides a digital representation of a synchroscope during manual synchronizing operations. There are 24 red LEDs arranged in a ring simulating the traditional 360° movement of an analog synchroscope. Only one LED is lit at a time indicating the phase difference between the incoming and running signals. The display will “rotate” clockwise or counter clockwise and fast or slow depending on the frequency difference between incoming and running signals. Once the incoming and running signals are synchronized, the ring LEDs will go out and the green triangular LEDs will be lit. The green triangular LEDs at 3 o’clock and at 9 o’clock indicate the status of the voltage. Red is out of allowed synchronizing range and green is in range. b. Phase Rotation Test Lights (PRL) Phase Rotation Lights are used for checking the load cables for proper phase rotation prior to placing a PU on a common power distribution bus. c.
TIE Overcurrent Relay (50/51T)
This microprocessor-based relay provides Phase Time Overcurrent (51P), Phase Short Circuit (50P), and Ground Fault Protection (50N, 51N). This relay is a draw-out design allowing easy replacement. Each relay has a LCD display and control keypad to allow the operator to program and monitor required parameters. The display, by default, scrolls through the phase currents, total current, and alarm log. The LCD display on each overcurrent relay provides a display of the current flow through each phase of the associated breaker. This overcurrent relay monitors the common sensing return of their phase sensing current transformers. This provides each breaker with ground fault protection. d.

This switch is a four-position, maintained, switch. This switch is used in conjunction with the Master Start Enable Switch (MSES) to select the identifier for multiple Power Units (PU)s and automatic operation. t.
Unit Selector Indicators (USI)
These four white indicators reflect each PU designation for power plant operation. The indicators are all off whenever the unit’s network ID has not been set. Depending on the position of the Unit Selector Switch (USS) when the Master System Enable Switch (MSES) is cycled, the associated LED will energize. These indicators provide positive indication that the control system has set the current setup parameters and the unit is starting operation. NOTE:
u.
In the MANUAL mode the indicators only reflect that the unit’s ID has been set; in AUTO mode, the control system will also proceed with a normal startup. Whenever the System Mode Switch (SMS) has been in the OFF position for 3 or more seconds the unit ID is cleared and the indicator is de-energized until the SMS is placed in MANUAL or AUTO and the MSES is cycled. G1 and G2 Overload Indicators (OLG1/G2)
These two red indicators reflect the status of Generator 1 and/or Generator 2 Overload condition. This is an alarm condition and the affected generator breaker will open immediately, after 2 minutes, or after 8 minutes depending on the severity of generator overload. The affected generator breaker will lockout and the generator will go into cool down mode until the condition is cleared.

Figure 3.2.3.2.2.2-1 illustrates the Phase Rotation Test Lights. These two lights are used to assist in manually synchronizing.
FIGURE 3.2.3.2.2.2-1
PHASE ROTATION LIGHTS (PRL)
The phase rotation lights indicate the phase sequence of the system bus or improperly connected load cables. There are two independent indicators. One indicates an A-B-C sequence and the other indicates a C-B-A sequence. Under normal operating conditions the A-B-C sequence is proper. These indicators are used to verify all sources are operating on the same phase sequence, which is required for parallel operation. The indicators work along with an internally mounted phase sequence relay (device-47). The system bus must be energized from only one source at a time for the check to work properly.

In this position, all generator and breaker control commands must be done from the PU control panels. The ORT can only monitor the power plant.
OFF: Rotate the switch handle clockwise from MAN, or counterclockwise from AUTO, until the switch arrow is pointing straight up. This position prevents the generators from closing their breakers to the system bus in either AUTO or MAN. It also will remove either PU generator from the bus and place it in cooldown if it was in AUTO. Finally, this removes the associated PU from the controlling network and releases that PUs (ID) for re-addressing. AUTO: Rotate the switch handle clockwise until the switch arrow is pointing at the AUTO text. This selects the PU for automatic operation when the MSES is cycled. NOTE:
In this position, operational control of the generators is through the onboard RTU via the ORT.

“A”: This position selects the PU to be identified as PU ‘A’. This designates this PU as the master unit. It coordinates the operation of the other online Units. In single unit operation this is the position required for the PU to operate properly in automatic. “B”: This position selects the PU to be identified as PU ‘B’. This designates this PU a slave unit. It operates independently except during the generator economizing and dead bus closure when it requires commands or permissive from the ‘A’ PU. This PU should be the second PU from the left in the physical lineup. “C”: This position selects the PU to be identified as PU ‘C’. This designates this PU a slave unit. It operates independently except during the generator economizing and dead bus closure when it requires commands or permissive from the ‘A’ PU. This PU should be the third PU from the left in the physical lineup. “D”: This position selects the PU to be identified as PU ‘D’. This designates this PU a slave unit. It operates independently except during the generator economizing and dead bus closure when it requires commands or permissive from the ‘A’ PU. This PU should be the fourth and last PU from the left in the physical lineup. NOTE:
There can only be one PU with the designation “A”, “B”, “C” or “D”.
3.2.3.2.2.20
UNIT SELECTOR INDICATORS (USI)
These four white indicators illustrated in the Figure 3.2.3.2.2.19-1, reflect the unit selection of the PU during operation. The indicators are off whenever the unit’s network ID has not been set. Depending on the position of the Unit Selector Switch (USS) when the Master System Enable Switch (MSES) is cycled, the associated LED will energize. These indicators provide positive indication that the control system has energized the current setup parameters and the unit is starting operation. NOTE:
In MANUAL mode the indicators only reflect that the unit’s ID has been set; in AUTO mode, the control system will also proceed with a normal startup. Whenever the System Mode Switch (SMS) has been in the OFF position for 3 or more seconds the unit ID is cleared and the indicator is de-energized until the SMS is placed in MANUAL or AUTO and the MSES is cycled.

BATTERY CHARGER
Figure 3.4.3-1 illustrates the MBC6X-24V-20A-LA model battery charger. The Battery Charger is a constant voltage, automatic mode switch, two-rate (float-equalize), current limited, and regulated (line compensated) battery charger. This model is specifically designed for charging batteries used for high intermittent loads such as engine starting. The charger provides automatic fast recharge with minimum long-term water consumption.
AC INPUT CIRCUIT BREAKER
FIGURE 3.4.3-1
DC OUTPUT CIRCUIT BREAKER
BATTERY CHARGER
In normal operation, when power is first applied, the charger will normally supply its full rated current in the equalize mode, as indicated by the charger ammeter. The current will remain at the current limit value until the battery approaches full charge. It will then taper down toward 50% of rated current and then drop to zero indicating the battery is charged and the charger has switched to float mode. The charger will then begin to supply whatever current is required by battery leakage and external loads. When a drain is put on the battery or A.C. power is interrupted, the charger will switch to “Equalize” and produce high charge current until the battery is again charged. When connected to a fully discharged battery the charger will supply its rated current for the time required to charge the battery. This time in hours will be the capacity of the battery in ampere-hours divided by the current rating of the charger. A very discharged battery can cause charger shutdown (if its terminal voltage is less than + 5.0 volts) for up to several hours before high charge currents begin to occur.

FUEL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
FIGURE 3.6.1-1
FUEL SYSTEM CIRCUIT
a. The fuel supply circuit is a conventional design for unit-injected engines. Refer to Figure 3.6.1-1 for reference. The External Fuel Transfer Pump, of the circuit is a 24VDC, gear type pump with fixed clearance. The Engine Fuel Transfer Pump pulls fuel from the PU 120 Gallon Fuel Tank, and delivers it to the EUI Fuel Injectors. The Engine Fuel Transfer Pump incorporates a check valve in order to permit a fuel flow around the gears for hand priming. The Engine Fuel Transfer Pump also incorporates a Relief Valve in order to protect the system from extreme pressure. The excess fuel flow that is provided by the fuel transfer pump cools the fuel from the unit injectors. The excess fuel flow purges the air from the unit injectors. NOTE:
The inlet fuel temperature to the fuel transfer pump must not exceed 175°F (79°C) when the engine has reached normal operating temperature. Fuel temperatures above 175°F (79°C) will reduce the life of the electronics in the ECM and the fuel transfer pump check valves. The fuel efficiency and the engine power output are reduced when the fuel temperature increases from 86°F (30°C) to 158° (70°C) F. The GSC+ will give an AL4 Alarm after 30 seconds.
3-96
USAF TO 35C2-3-518-1 USA TM 9-5115-484-14 DRS RADIAN CTM 01646.1R0253/1R0254
b. The fuel in the fuel transfer pump flows through the cored passages in the Fuel Block and through a 2-micron fuel filter. The Fuel Priming Pump is positioned on the fuel filter base in order to fill the system after the fuel supply and the return manifolds are drained. The fuel supply and the return passages in the cylinder head are drained in order to reinstall the unit injectors. The filtered fuel enters the housing for the Electronic Control Module (ECM). This fuel cools the module as the fuel passes through the ECM. The fuel enters the fuel manifold at the rear of the cylinder head. The fuel flows continuously from the fuel supply through the Cylinder Head Fuel Gallery through the EUI Fuel Injectors. This fuel then returns to the fuel tank through the Fuel Cooler by the return line on the fuel manifold. c.
Fuel is displaced by the EUI Fuel Injector Plunger when the fuel is not being injected into the cylinder. A Fuel Pressure Regulator is located in the Fuel Block. The Fuel Pressure Regulator maintains a sufficient amount of backpressure in the system in order to fill the EUI Fuel Injectors. The Engine Fuel Transfer Pump is located in the front of the engine at the lower left corner. The Engine Fuel Transfer Pump is mounted to either the front timing gear cover or a plate. The Engine Fuel Transfer Pump is driven by the gear train.
d. The injection pump, the fuel lines, and the nozzles that are used in the traditional Caterpillar diesel engines have been replaced with an electronically controlled, mechanically actuated EUI Fuel Injectors in each cylinder. A solenoid on each injector controls the amount of fuel that is delivered by the injector and Electronic Control Module (ECM), sends a signal to each injector solenoid in order to provide complete control of the engine. 3.6.1.1
FUEL INJECTION
a. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) controls the amount of fuel that is injected by varying the signals to the injectors. The injectors will inject fuel only if the injector solenoid is energized. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) sends a 90-volt signal to the solenoid in order to energize the solenoid. By controlling the timing and the duration of the 90-volt signal, the Electronic Control Module (ECM) can control injection timing and the amount of fuel that is injected. b. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) sets certain limits on the amount of fuel that can be injected “FRC Fuel Pos” is a limit which controls the amount of air and of fuel for the purpose of emission control. This limit is based on the boost pressure When the Electronic Control Module (ECM) senses a higher boost pressure, the Electronic Control Module (ECM) increases the ‘FRC Fuel Pos” limit “Rated Fuel Pos” is a limit that is based on the horsepower rating of the engine. This is similar to the rack stops and to the torque spring on a mechanically governed engine “Rated Fuel Pos” provides horsepower and torque curves for a specific engine family and for a specific engine rating. All of these limits are programmed into the personality module by the factory. These limits are not programmable in the field.

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) decides when the injection should occur relative to the top center position. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) then provides the signal to the injector at the desired time. 3.6.2

The switch on the left, labeled T-O-A (Test-Off-Auto), allows the operator to test the external fuel pump to insure that it is functioning properly, turn the pump off when required, or set it to Auto and allow the float switches to control the flow of fuel to the tank. The switch on the right, labeled G1-G2, allows the fuel pump to operate from either battery bank. When Generator 1 or Generator 2 is shutdown for maintenance, and the battery bank for that generator is disconnected, the fuel pump can operate from the other battery bank. Refer to FO-43A and FO-43B and FO-44A through FO-44C for additional information.

FIGURE 3.6.2.3-1
FUEL INJECTION MECHANISM
The unit injector (1) allows fuel to be injected into the combustion chamber at the precise time. Two idler gears and a cluster gear that is driven off the crankshaft gear drive the camshaft gear. The timing marks on the crankshaft gear, on the cluster gear, and on the housing of the timing cover are aligned in order to provide the correct relationship between the piston and the valve movement. The camshaft has three lobes for each cylinder. Two lobes operate the inlet valves and the exhaust valves, and one lobe operates the unit injector mechanism. Force is transmitted from the unit injector lobe on the camshaft (4) to the top of the unit injector (1) through the rocker arm assembly (3). The adjusting nut (2) allows the injector lash to be set. 3.6.2.4
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) controls the amount of fuel that is injected by varying the electrical signals to the injectors. The injectors will inject fuel only if the injector solenoid is energized. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) sends a 90-volt signal to the solenoid in order to energize the solenoid. By controlling the timing and the duration of the 90-volt signal, the Electronic Control Module (ECM) can control injection timing and the amount of fuel that is injected. Injection timing depends on three factors the engine rpm, the engine load, and other operational conditions. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) can determine the top center position of cylinder number 1 from the signal that is provided by the engine speed-timing sensor. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) decides when the injection should occur relative to the top center position. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) then provides the signal to the injector at the desired time.

FIGURE 3.6.2.4.1-1
ELECTRONIC UNIT INJECTOR (EUI) COMPONENTS
The fuel exits the fuel supply manifold. The fuel flows through the drilled passages in the cylinder head. This fuel enters the unit injector at the fill port. Refer to Figure 3.6.2.4.1-1, Unit Injector Components. As the unit injector mechanism produces force to the top of the unit injector, spring (1) and plunger (4) is moved downward. This causes fuel to be displaced through the valve in the solenoid valve assembly (3), and into the return manifold to the tank. The fuel passage into barrel (5) is closed by the outside diameter of the plunger (4). The passages to the injector tip within the body (10) and along the check valve (11) are filled with fuel as the plunger moves down. After the fuel passage in the plunger barrel is closed, fuel can be injected at any time. These requirements are programmed into the electronic control module.
3-103
USAF TO 35C2-3-518-1 USA TM 9-5115-484-14 DRS RADIAN CTM 01646.1R0253/1R0254
When the solenoid valve assembly (3) is energized from a signal across the solenoid connection (2), the solenoid valve closes and the pressure in the injector tip is increased. Injection starts at 5000 ± 275 PSI (34474 ± 1896 kPa) as the force of spring (8) is overcome. This causes the check valve to rise from the seat. The pressure continues to increase as the plunger cycles through the full stroke. After the correct amount of fuel has been discharged into the cylinder, the electronic control module signals across the solenoid connection. This signal indicates that the solenoid valve assembly is de-energized and that the solenoid valve is opened. The high-pressure fuel is dumped through the spill port, to the fuel return manifold and then to the tank. The length of time for the injection will meter the fuel that is consumed during the fuel injection into the cylinder. Injection length is controlled by the governor logic that is programmed into the electronic control module of the fuel system electronic control circuit. After the maximum lift point is achieved, the force to the top of the unit injector is removed as spring (1) expands. The plunger returns to the original position. This uncovers the fuel supply passage to the plunger barrel in order to refill the injector pump body. The low-pressure fuel circulates through the injector body. The fuel then exits through the spill port. This occurs until solenoid valve assembly (3) is again energized. 3.6.2.5
PRIMARY FUEL FILTER
Figure 3.6.2.5-1 illustrates the Primary Fuel Filter. The 3456 EPG Engine is equipped with a Primary Fuel Filter. The Primary Fuel Filter consists of a Element and a Bowl. The element includes the larger upper beveled seal. The bowl includes the smaller lower seal. Figure 3.6.2.5-1 illustrates the Fuel Shutoff Valve. The Fuel Shutoff Valve stops the flow of fuel from the 120 Gallon fuel tank illustrated in Figure 3.6.2.2-1, to its associated engine. Figure 3.6.2.5-2 illustrates the Primary Fuel Filter Drain Valve. Water the primary fuel filter separates from the fuel accumulates in this bowl. The drain valve allows any water that accumulates in the bowl to be drained. If the water is not drained when the bowl becomes full, an increased resistance to fuel flow will result.

3.7.1
COOLING SYSTEM OPERATION
Figure 3.7.1-1 illustrates the Cooling System theory of operation. The cooling system for each generator set consists of two cooling circuits. One coolant circuit cools the engine block. The other circuit cools the pressurized and filtered engine intake air by using an Air to Air Cooler (ATAAC). The filtered engine intake air is carried to and from the engine compartment in 4.00-inch diameter pipes that pass through the top of the interior trailer wall to the ATAAC. The engine block is cooled with a water and anti-freeze mixture running through the Radiator. The coolant is carried in a combination of 2.50 and 3.00-inch pipes that pass through the center of the interior trailer wall.
FIGURE 3.7.1-1
COOLANT SYSTEM OPERATION
In operation, the water pump sends most of the coolant from the radiator, through the oil cooler, to the cylinder block, through a bonnet and an elbow. The coolant goes around the cylinder liners, through the water directors and into the cylinder head. The water directors send the flow of coolant around the valves and the passages for the exhaust gases in the cylinder head. The coolant then flows to the front of the cylinder head. At this point, water temperature regulators; control the direction of the coolant flow. The water temperature regulators are closed when the engine is cold. The coolant flows through the regulator housing and elbow back to water pump. If the coolant is at normal operating temperature, the water temperature regulators open and the coolant flows to the radiator, through the outlet hose. The coolant becomes cooler as the coolant moves through the radiator. When the coolant gets to the bottom of the radiator, the coolant goes through the inlet hose and drawn into the water pump to start the cycle again. 3-108
USAF TO 35C2-3-518-1 USA TM 9-5115-484-14 DRS RADIAN CTM 01646.1R0253/1R0254
The vent line will purge any air out of the top of a bottom filled system. Coolant that expands past the radiator is retained in the Coolant Tank. The Coolant Tank is welded to the top, front of the PU, see Figure 2.1-2 and Figure 2.1-5. Coolant contracts as the temperature drops and is drawn back into the radiator. 3.7.2

COOLANT CHARACTERISTICS
Coolant generally consists of water combined with corrosion inhibitors or water combined with antifreeze and corrosion inhibitors. The correct selection of coolant has a direct effect on the efficiency and/or service life of both the cooling system and the engine. Coolant must be able to transfer heat from hot engine components to a radiator or heat exchanger where the heat is dissipated. To do this job correctly, coolant must be protected against freezing. The best protection against coolant freezing is the correct mixture ratio of the coolant. Use the correct mixture ratio of ethylene glycol and water or the correct mixture ratio of methoxy propanol and water as a coolant. The most common antifreezes that are available use ethylene glycol to provide freeze protection. The coolant must prevent the formation of rust and pits in the engine and other components. Since all water can cause corrosion, water alone is not a good coolant. Both distilled water and softened water are unacceptably corrosive when corrosion inhibitors are not added. (Refer to Table 3.7.3-1). TABLE 3.7.3-1

COOLING FLUID SPECIFICATIONS
The DPGDS PU engine cooling systems are designed for the use of Caterpillar, Inc. Extended Life Coolant (ELC) in a premixed, full fill mixture. Use of a coolant other than ELC will require different maintenance requirements, and is not prescribed. The cooling system is factory filled with ELC. ELC contains the proper amount of specified water at a 50%/50% mixture. Coolant is normally composed of three elements: •
Water
•
Additives
•
Ethylene Glycol
3.7.4.1
WATER
ELC premixed, full fill coolant has the correct specification water already included in the ELC container. This eliminates the following water problems listed below: •
Hard water
•
Water that is softened with salt
•
Salt water

3.7.4.2
ADDITIVES
ELC does not require any additives accept for the ELC Coolant System Extender Package added during the service interval listed in Chapter 13. Use of non-compatible additives with the ELC coolant can lead to loss of the long life effect of the ELC Coolant or even serious cooling system damage. ELC helps to protect the metal surfaces of the cooling system. A lack of ELC Coolant, lack of maintenance or contamination of the ELC Coolant with standard coolant additives can enable the following conditions to occur: •
Corrosion
•
Formation of mineral deposits
•
Rust
•
Scale
•
Corrosion and erosion from cavitation of the cylinder liner
•
Foaming of the coolant
Portions of the ELC Coolant chemical contents are depleted during engine operation. These protective properties must be replaced periodically. Adding the ELC Extender Package to Extended Life Coolant (ELC) at the proper service interval can do this. ELC Extender must be added at the proper volume for the PU coolant volume capacity.

3.7.4.3
ETHYLENE GLYCOL
ELC does contain Ethylene Glycol. Ethylene Glycol in the coolant helps to provide protection against the following conditions: •
Boiling
•
Freezing
•
Cavitation of the water pump and the cylinder liner
Caterpillar recommends premixed, Extended Life Coolant for optimum performance. ELC contains the proper amount of specified water at a 50%/50% mixture. 3.7.4.4
CATERPILLAR COOLANTS WARNING
DO NOT MIX ELC WITH ANY OTHER TYPE OF COOLANT. COOLING PROPERTIES COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT COULD RESULT. The following two coolants can be used in the 3456 EPG Caterpillar engines: •
Preferred:
Caterpillar Extended Life Coolant (ELC) or a commercial extended life coolant that meets the Caterpillar EC-1 specification (See Table 3.7.4.4-1).
•
Acceptable:
A Caterpillar Diesel Engine Antifreeze Coolant (DEAC) or, a commercial heavyduty coolant/antifreeze that meets ASTM D4985” or “ASTM D5345” specifications (See Table 3.7.4.4-1).
NOTE:
Caterpillar developed the EC-1 specification. The EC-1 specification is an industry standard. The EC-1 specification defines all of the performance requirements that are needed for an engine coolant to be sold as an extended life coolant for Caterpillar engines. ELC meets the industry performance requirements of “ASTM D4985” and “ASTM D5345” for heavy-duty low silicate coolant/antifreezes. ELC also meets the industry performance requirements of “ASTM D3306” and “ASTM D4656” for automotive applications.
The ELC anti-corrosion package is totally different from conventional coolants. ELC has been formulated with the correct amounts of additives in order to provide superior corrosion protection for all metals in engine cooling systems. ELC extends the service life of the coolant to 6000 service hours or six years. ELC does not require a frequent addition of a Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA). An ELC Extender Package is the only additional maintenance that is needed at 3000 service hours or three years. Premixed ELC is available with distilled water in a 50/50 concentration. The Premixed ELC provides freeze protection to –34°F (-37°C). The Premixed ELC is used for the initial fill of the PU cooling system.

NOTE:
It is mandatory that ELC be used as the topping off coolant.
ELC Concentrate is also available. ELC Concentrate will lower the freezing point to -62°F (– 52°C) for arctic conditions. Use ELC Concentrate to adjust the freezing point of the coolant, if necessary. NOTE:
When ELC is not to be used due to an emergency, Caterpillar recommends a 50/50 water/glycol mixture for optimum coolant/antifreeze performance. Caterpillar DEAC does not require a treatment with an SCA at the initial fill. A commercial heavy-duty coolant/antifreeze that meets “ASTM D4985’ or “ASTM D5345” specifications will require a treatment with an SCA at the initial fill.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OPERATION
Figure 3.8-1 illustrates the Hydraulic System Operation. The hydraulic system used in Power Unit provides the required power to cool the Power Unit. An engine mounted hydraulic gear pump takes lowpressure hydraulic fluid from the reservoir, through one 100-mesh strainer (141 Micron) with a 3 PSI bypass mounted inside the tank, and provides high-pressure fluid to the hydraulic fan motors that drive the system. The high-pressure fluid from the hydraulic pumps is then forced through a Pressure Relief/Control Block, which contains a 3,200 + 100-PSI pressure relief valve. From the control block the high-pressure fluid is transferred through the hydraulic motors, which drive the cooling fans. After the fluid passes through the hydraulic motors, the low-pressure fluid is then carried through a hydraulic fluid heat exchanger. The cycle is completed when the fluid returns to the reservoir, through the tank top 3micron absolute filter. The case drain on the After Cooler Motor allows hydraulic fluid, from the seal cavity in the motor, to drain back to the reservoir at atmospheric pressure.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM OPERATION
3.9.1.1
OIL FLOW THROUGH A WARM ENGINE
Figure 3.9.1.1-1 illustrates oil flow through a warm DPGDS 3456 EPG engine. When the engine is warm, oil comes from the oil pan through the suction bell to the oil pump. The oil pump then sends warm oil to the oil cooler. The oil is next sent to the oil filter. Oil from the oil filter is then provided to the oil manifold in the cylinder block and to the oil supply line for the turbocharger. Oil from the turbocharger goes back through the oil return line to the oil pan.

3.9.1.2
OIL FLOW THROUGH A COLD ENGINE
Figure 3.9.1.2-1 illustrates oil flow through a cold DPGDS 3456 EPG engine. When the oil is cold, an oil pressure difference across the bypass valves causes bypass valves to open. These bypass valves then provide immediate lubrication to all of the engine components when cold oil with high viscosity causes a restriction to the oil flow through the oil cooler and the oil filter. The oil pump then sends the cold oil through the bypass valve for the oil cooler and through the bypass valve for the oil filter. The oil then goes to the oil manifold in the cylinder block and to the supply line for the turbocharger. Oil from the turbocharger goes back through the oil return line to the oil pan.

3.9.1.3
OIL FLOW THROUGH AN ENGINE BLOCK
Figure 3.9.1.3-1 illustrates oil flow paths within the DPGDS 3456 EPG Engine. The oil from the oil manifold is sent under pressure through drilled passages to the crankshaft main bearings. The oil flows through drilled holes in the crankshaft. This oil lubricates the connecting rod bearings. A small amount of oil is sent through the piston cooling jets. The piston cooling jets cool the pistons. Oil flows through passages in the timing gear housing and the accessory drive gear.
FIGURE 3.9.1.3-1
3456 EPG ENGINE OIL FLOW SCHEMATIC
The adjustable idler gear, the fixed idler stub shaft and the cluster idler gear all get oil from passages in the cylinder block. The oil flows through a passage in the idler gear shaft. The idler gear shaft is installed on the front of the cylinder block. There is a pressure control valve in the oil pump. This valve controls the pressure of the oil that flows from the oil pump. The oil pump supplies a greater quantity of oil than necessary into the system. The extra quantity of oil will cause the pressure to rise and the valve will open. This allows the oil that is not needed to go back to the inlet oil passage of the oil pump.
