Caterpillar 2 MW Load Bank Test Highlights

- Here a longer version of a load bank highlights for the 2 MW Caterpillar. This process takes about 2-3 hours, but we've shortened it down to a matter of minutes capturing the highlights-- the start up, run, add load, measurables and the shutdown.
We have two of these low hour (5 hours) units at www.generators....

Other than briefly rolling some coal, that big diesel didn't even flinch when the load hit...
@@wipatriot510 Cat makes a huge V20 which I believe is a 10 MW diesel that are in a lot of Pacific Railroad engines. Cat’s are expensive but they have durability.
@@glennjohnso310 The C175-20 has a maximum output power of ~5400 hp in marine or military applications, and up to 4800 hp in industrial applications or power generation (up to 4mW/4000kW).
@ I’m getting too old to remember all of the specs. I worked for a large construction company that had their own stone quarry where I spent 21/2 years working on monster Cat equipment. 40 years was enough.
Absolutely beautiful piece of equipment..love the sound quality of this video 👍🏻🍺
We had one of those at work.. 2MW Cat Egen.. Nice piece of equipment.
That beast moves an amazing amount of air
When I ran the dyno at cat 🐱. I couldn’t even run at full power bc it moved to much air and egt temperature would get high. Did a lot of 3516 an 3512s
That turbo spinning down on this one sounds exactly like a darn jet turbine at shutdown. Music to my ears! Also that coal at the 1st load, literally a cloud of coal.
0:15 - "...GIVE IT TO ME!!!!!! F@#&ING GIVE IT TO ME!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!111"
Pretty sure the exhaust is good enough to recapture heat for district heating
Could very well be
At that power you surely can heat a couple homes without issues.
A beast.
Nice!
Pretty mild power spec. Nothing glowing or manifolds smoking.....
Beauty
We’ve got 3516s at work that don’t blow black smoke like that… are you using the installed coolant heater?
What would that do if it was warm?
@farmguy2400 more complete combustion
I was onsite to watch a load test on a 1MW Cummins genset and no black smoke at all. Engine barely registered a change when the load was dropped on it.
This is so small, I worked on a railroad machine that could generate 3.5 MW using 3 huge engine and a smaller one.
No locomotive engine but it’s not trying to move 3 million pounds of weight either. That is a Cat 3516 engine which takes up most of a 53 foot trailer.
@@glennjohnso310 The engines were the same size, but the one on the video makes 2MW while the generator on the machines was 3.5 generator for 3.5 MW. I'm saying it's small for the power it generate.
Great video. Out of interest what is the weight of that unit?
Probably around 36thousand pounds without the generator.
Does this engine drive come in a welder configuration? For my arc furnace
Yes..3516. I use to O/H at dealer on Thailand.
They sound great until they eat a Turbo. Then you have a big expense and a whole bunch of parts all over the place. There is also a bunch of Cat guys moping around complaining about the warranty costs. It happened about 12 hours into a 24 hour full load acceptance run. 1 month later we did that acceptance run all over again when it was back together.
Meanwhile the owners poking it with a stick like come on do something
Sh!!t happens. It's a machine - all machines fail at some point in their lives.
I want that in my Kenworth!!!
No, you don't.
Hope you own an oil well. That engine will burn approximately 600 gallons of fuel a day.
You can put a V12 in a long nose KW W900.

Under no load..😂
A Cat 3412 I have seen a couple of older KWs with 3412
I need this to power my 1200 square ft home😊
seems the foundation supports are not enough for this massive piece
Cats rule!
Oh please, make a video of paint drying, so exciting.
They cheated, the load was applied in two steps. First step at 0:15 and second step at 0:18
You probably can’t load it that hard initially 🤷♂️
@@crandonborth Most generator specs include "accepts full load in one step"
Is there cribbing under the radiator? Crazy amount of weight hanging off the end if not.
That’s basically a train isn’t it?
Music.
thats a supercharged one right. so bad ass.
Turbo charged.
