Several years ago I worked as an electrician on a project to install facilities for eleven Cat V16 gen-sets for ESPN generating at 13.8 kv. I don't know if they were this model, but they were Cat V16's. Very complicated, and very impressive at the end to see eight of these engines in a row.
I never got a chance to see testing with all of them running in parallel and carrying the ESPN Bristol campus. The Russelectric controls were incredible, and the 15 kv buss duct and switching gear were impressive as well. I just never got to see the end result. When your job's done, you don't hang around, you get re-assigned.
This is so satisfying. The fit and finish of everything I can see in the video is excellent. Worked on a power generation project with main details I can't discuss but diesel fired (no spark plugs to maintain) natural gas fueled power generation. It was originally designed to reduce electricity costs for a factory but they've figured out that they can shut the plant down and sell power back to the grid when the price goes up and make more money.
i worked on them when the 794AC arrived to my Worksite a Coal Mine in Coahuila Mexico.. remember a day that had very low power on the right side.. people tought they were the injectors and turbos but it was an admission coupling loose...
2.4 mega watts PRIME RATED means this will run CONTINUOUSLY at that output. Keep the fuel coming and the only time you need to shut down is for normal service - filters, etc.
The school I work at has three of em. They power the whole town when power goes out. Similar system with external radiators, or whatever you call em at this scale.
Cat’s 2007-spec C15 engine will be sold through 2009 PEORIA, Ill. - Following months of speculation, Caterpillar has announced that it’s leaving the heavy-duty on-highway truck engine business by 2010, before the next round of emissions legislation kicks in.
michael s. clark I also work for a caterpillar dealer here in Zimbabwe. So far the biggest engine I've worked on is a 3516B, 2mva generator set. I did a complete engine overhaul
When I was in electronics industry a chip company had a set of twins like that consecutive block #s 40k gal fuel tanks too 80k fuel capacity total . When I saw them 200 hrs each running time .cranked once a month for an hour under gen load . Beautiful Beasts under load .
the fans may bring a lot of air into the cab,because the engine need a lot of him. if one fan stops and the others dont have the capacity the cab may have negative relative pressure,and the air intakes for all the clearances exist,and some doors may open is they are not locked.
I noticed he said it was a "warm start." I hope during a "cold start" the cooling fans won't come on immediately. This will cause a delayed warm up times to the coolant. But I am sure it has a block heater or has a heated room for cold winter starts.
Hi There Jason, once commissioned and in use/on standby the unit is continuously warmed by hot/water pumped around the engine jacket so that it is always ready to start.
cat is the upmost supreme diesel engine bar none,especially in the trucking industry, cats are what Cummins and detroits long to be when they grow up, man i miss them, very informative and awesome video mate.
Freddy Hernandez In the railroad industry, the Cummins QSK-95 (16 cylinder) is beating the 20 cylinder C175 in terms of reliability, with the CAT having just 300 more horsepower.
Yea right. Cat got put out of the trucking industry because they where afraid to deal with emissions components. Cummins is the only one that survived albeit pos paccar engines.
Justin Martin and Cummins have been big turds unless they’re deleted. I’ll hang on to my Unbridged MBN C15 at 640 hp that makes it from from shipper to receiver without sitting on the side of the road waiting on a regen or a wrecker.
I LOVE THAT BIG GRUNT FROM A DIESEL ENGINE" YOU CANT BEAT THE SOUND OF A CAT DIESEL ENGINE, HAS THAT DISTINCTIVE SOUND! FANTASTIC!! lol sorry caps on! I'm shouting over the sound of the engine hahaha 👍😉

Very true, however the building attached to this instalment was supported by 4 of these, which provided 100% back up for 48+ hours. Should they ever be needed they would pay themselves off within 24 hours due to the nature of the building, loss of power is not an option.
The 3516 was mostly a mechanical injected engine while this is upgraded to electronic injection. The blue print on the block is basically exactly the same.
Those enclosures are for environmental control and air intake control/filtration for the engine. Over sizing it would be counter intuitive since it would make control more difficult and require more material which means more money. And if you consider how much maintenance is done on this engine it would make no sense to spend the money. Change filters, top up oil, and do routine checks while its running (i.e. poke your head in and make sure its not too hot, has oil and sounds normal). Other than that these engines are built to last and any major repairs would be few and far between, and if major repairs are required there will be access points and disconnects so they can do work on any part of the engine. Also note the enclosure is meant to reduce the incredibly high and constant noise levels generated, so this man should have hearing protection at all times near this while it's running.
same to you man and best regards from serbia,i am about to start my saga with CAT on river ships in Europe but it's only C32acert,althou good enough for a rookie :-D
speeking of this may i ask a question,do you know where i could get a proper service and maintenance manual on CAT C18acert and C32 acert so i can introduce my self to this subject a little bit before my interview :-D
CAT service and parts is what makes them famous. Machines excellent. No one beats their service and parts...no one. I had alot of machines...German Japan etc...service parts terrible.
Alex Anderson yeah right. All American diesel shit all over Volvo’s. I’m familiar with the trucks, and constant head cracking and gasket problems make them less than desirable
Oliver Mayo no, I’m not saying they are all wrong, but in the USA there’s better options. I’ve never heard over a Volvo going over a million miles without a problem, whereas the 6nz, signature 600, and series 60 do that constantly.
Hi, Thanks for your prompt reply. Which one is best diesel engine for prime power application ( for 2000 KVA) :- Application : Stone crushing plant 1) Caterpillar 2) Kohler 3) Cummins 4) Perkins 5) MTU
Hi there, this is only personal preference however I would stick with Cummins or Cat, but you would be best off contacting each of the companies and seeing what they can offer with regards to value for money and warranties.

Hi there, this one in particular was a bank of four on the roof providing 100% back up to a laboratory. The fuel consumption vastly changes depending on the load of the engine.
2000 litres ; 4 hours 1 hour ; 500 ltres 1 hour = about 100 gallons? so 100 gallons to the hour at full load so ten of my transits fuel tanks an hour so would use my fuel tank in roughly 6 minutes?

@@RossPerryProductions used to work there wiring containerised gensets like that. I'm sure quality has dropped to all time lows since I left. 😂. It would scare you if you knew some of the people that worked on them though. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
@@jaswingnut I bet!!
is this the most efficient 1+ mw engine in the world?
One of ... I couldn't hang my hat on that its the most though.
Look at the MTUs. They are stunning
Slight power improvement of Space Engineer hydrogen engines. Question is can these gens run off of hydrogen?
certainly not without some major modifications
Wow super sur cat👏
sure is
Where is this roughly?
Is it hospital standby power ??
Formidable38 there are 4 of these together which supply 100% back up for a 100k sq meter laboratory
What is this engine used for ? fuel consumption ?
Hi there, this one in particular was a bank of four on the roof providing 100% back up to a laboratory. The fuel consumption vastly changes depending on the load of the engine.
I think this is the same generator used in the cat 994 loader
could well be :)
Some 994s and the 797
can i fit this in a pickup truck?
yes of course, you must might have to sit on the roof.
so... how fast toyota camry will go if you put 2 of these in it?
I have done all of the calcs and I'm confident it would reach 30km/h as it will still be a camry :)
Somey Namero ..not fast enough.
i bet 1 cylinder in that engine is bigger than my first apartment!
haha i would hope not. thanks for your comment
2:40 the best.
thanks
2000 litres ; 4 hours
1 hour ; 500 ltres
1 hour = about 100 gallons?
so 100 gallons to the hour at full load
so ten of my transits fuel tanks an hour
so would use my fuel tank in roughly 6 minutes?
Haha Seems a lot when put like that, its closer to 110 gallons an hour, but does your transit have 4000hp?
I sometimes question it has 40.
I wasn't criticising at all.
Haha no just jesting with you :) thank you for watching and your comments
I have a CAT diesel engine just like yours for when the power goes out in my dubble wide traler...
you must have a lot of appliances in there
love to see a startup of a CAT C175-20 , cant find any
well if i come across one i will be sure to make a video for you
Thank You
no worries thanks for watching
The ATLANTA, GA AQUARIUM IFNI RECALL from a tour has 3 24 cyl CATERPILLAR GEN SETS, they also have 2 sources of ELECTRICAL FEEDS, so they get everything after the hospital gets FIRST , as they are in life support, for the marine environment !🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
thanks for your comment
awesome vid if I do say so myself :)
Should make more Jonny!
Great Walk Around! I would have loved to hear that beauty fire up. Where are they using that?
Teddy Bass its in a large medical facility, there are 4 of them in a row to give 100% power back up
nice
Thanks
Cat engine #1
The best
sure is
О, ВЕЛИКАЯ АМЕРИКА !!! ТЫ ПОКРАСНА СО СВОЕЙ ЛУЧШЕЙ В МИРЕ ТЕХНИКОЙ В ЛЮБОЙ СФЕРЕ. А КАК ИНАЧЕ !!! ТЫ САМАЯ ВЕЛИКАЯ В МИРЕ !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha 🤣
About the same as the old D399? we had 3 D399's on an Diesel Electric gas drilling rig back in the 1970's
I very much doubt it would have changed a whole lot maybe more on the electronics and injection side
Where can I buy those ear defenders?
They come attached to most humans :)
