NOx levels could fluctuate +/- 130%


• Customer required inputs via Cat ET Fuel quality

– The lower heating value of the fuel

Gas specific gravity– Fuel’s specific gravity in relation to the specific gravity of

air

Fuel specific heat ratio– Ratio of the fuel’s specific heat at a constant pressure and

the fuel’s specific heat at a constant volume

G3500C Control SystemG3500C Control System• Required load inputs

Engine full load rating– Rating stamped on the engines information plate in kW

Engine driven load equipment– Load of auxiliary equipment driven by the engine (such as a radiator)

Generator output power sensor scale factor– Linear scale between the wattmeter’s output voltage and the generator

output in kW

Generator output power sensor offset– Offset used to make the wattmeters output accurate


• Calculation of the percentage of the engine’s load

[ ( A + G ) / R ] * 100 = % Load

• “A” is the load of the auxiliary equipment in kW• “G” is the generator’s output in kW• “R” is the engine’s rated load

G3500C Control SystemG3500C Control System• Open loop mode

Runs in open loop at loads < 25% ECM calculates air flow and fuel flow ECM utilizes volumetric efficiency (map in ECM)

along with pressure and temperature to calculate air flow

ECM sends signal to fuel metering valve to regulate fuel flow to the engine

This process is continuous up to 25% load


• Charge density (patent pending) ECM uses patent pending algorithms incorporating

charge density Maps pre-programmed in ECM compare engine

speed and load to desired charge density ECM adjusts charge density as required

– Charge is too dense the volume of fuel is increased– Charge is inadequate the volume of fuel is reduced

G3500C Control SystemG3500C Control System• Charge density (patent pending)

FCF (fuel correction factor) calculated using map in ECM and fuel quality, allows programmed LHV to affect air/fuel ratio

Charge density varies so will the FCF NOx emission gain adjustment

– Additional required customer input for charge density– Allows small gain to richen or lean the mixture if needed– Small change of gain results in a large change of NOx

• Example: 1% change in gain result in NOx change of 20-40 ppm
