i dont understand why i have a obsession over large diesel engines
It seems to be a common problem and of course, we all can think of a lot of other obsessions that could be unhealthy lol!
Me too brother, the lovely sound
it call engine porn
Improve your English first.
Me to
Built a power plant for the Navy. We had two of these beasts installed about 6 feet apart. When they were running, it was so loud, you could actually feel the sound vibrations in your chest. And they had remote radiators, so no radiator fans on the engine. Even with ear plugs, plus ear muffs, they were LOUD!
Yes sir!
What purpose this using?
@@johnsr-sr111kz genartor for like ships or industrial area's
@@ZOBOFFICAL thanks
The radiators had electric fans?
I can just see having one mounted in my backyard and my neighbors enjoying it every time I fire it up!
Oop, power’s out, but I want to watch the Stanley cup, I’ll fire up the generator, and the fridge, and the freezer, and the bar cooler, and the block heater on my car, and the rest of the town. Rattles every house in the neighbourhood off their foundations.
Can you move next door to me? We can share the fuel costs. I have a very, very soft spot for the 3516s, very reliable engines even when pushed to 2.7MW (or even 2.75MW for a short amount of time). The C-175 is practically silent and now I have no idea if we're testing or on the gennies as there's no turbo scream that you can hear 2 miles away.
The most beautiful sound on the planet .. during an outage of the main grid.
How dare you lol
Well time for auxiliary grid
Thank you for recording the ENTIRE shut down I find that so satisfying
There really is something gratifying about that long spin-down.
Goodnite, that engine put out more smoke in 1/4 of a second than my Detroit Series 60 has so far in its 21-year life. I bet with an Eaton-Fuller 18-speed overdrive, you could move mountains with this beast.
the gearbox and clutch will melt at this load , mining trucks with this engine use electric drive train like a diesel electric locomotive they have ac motors mounted to the wheels and the throttle controls the frequency of ac wave into the motor which is generated by an inverter in older days the motors were dc and generator field would be controlled to increase or decrease power but the control was limited with that setup . mechanical drive is not possible at these powers only hydro and electric can handle this reliably ..
Just the right amount of diesel violence when load applied to keep me coming back for more. Love it
Now we need 1 hour version of this engine sound :D
Need this on a trailer for my Tesla
lol, eithe way, u are gonna burn gas.... whats the point of having tesla?
@@prasadraj8106 No the Tesla is electric. So it's much better for the environment.
@@Skracken i know, but if u drag a generator that runs on gas ???
@@Skracken but it's going to pollute on such a high scale that you could better have a big 8 seater SUV with a V8 and still you'll save a hell lot of environment.
@Skräken, here to inform you that I understand the joke unlike these fools 😂
I worked with cat 399, 1100kva gensets 3nos., in Riyadh, saudi arabia, and had really good experience. Very nice engines. I love that humming sound.
I saw a demonstration a few years ago, where the genset can be synced with the grid to feed back in to the grid during times of high demand. Just needs a minuscule change in speed for a split second to match up. It’s a measure of how accurate feeling is that it can run a continuous speed that is so precise.
Once it's synced, then power grid will keep it synced. If so small generator (compared to big power grid) was about to lose sync, it will start being pulled by the grid to catch up. Theoretically in extreme condition, if you kept generator connected but shut down the engine, it could start acting like a motor to turn the engine.
I've been watching lot of off gridding videos because it's my goal to eventually go off grid and use 100% renewable energy, and I keep getting recommendations for videos of these big CAT diesel generators. Now I kind of want one. Good backup for cloudy days. :P
Sure, they are about $1 million each.
@@billmoran3812 Used they come pretty cheap sometimes. I saw them auctioned off for 50,000 bucks.
Just a tad overkill for a small off grid home..🤣
That sound is music to my ears!
Nice generator worked on for 6 years without any major issues
They are the best in the industry IMO
It can power about 1 600 average kitchen kettles at once, or an entire suburb. 1 630kW (instead of 45 884HP) is so self explanatory, even the Caterpillar company uses it lately. Entertaining and informative clip. Excellent machine.
A horsepower is ~746 watts. 1,630,000 watts equals ~2,185 horsepower.
@@mvansumeren4313exactly.
Thats more power than all 4 Titanic generators had!
@Uranium_Isotope these are normally rated around 3000hp if I'm not mistaken
@Uranium_Isotope conversion from kw to hp is factor 1/0.736 meaning this 2mw gen needa atleast a 2720hp motor.
Titanic way more
@@FlaxTheSeedOne it's 1hp per 1kw
www.cat.com/en_US/products/new/power-systems/industrial/industrial-diesel-engines/18397893.html
@Uranium_Isotope Titanic 1600kW
Had two these powering NBC as a standby. When they started up it looked like 30 Rock was on fire.
Good
i would put one of those in my backyard and just run it every morning just cause i love the sound, Maybe ill start my own power company while im at it
Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire.
Ooh 🤘
Hello, I am proud of myself for being a mechanic on a Caterpillar engine
Ok that's it CAT needs to get into the sports car business and build a hyper-SUV with this V16 mid-mounted
Well they have SD40 locomotives with these mid-mounted. Hope that’s close enough.
Coming soon
This beast goes through 533 liters (141 gallons) of diesel every single hour!
You will also need 150 or 200 gallons of oil for an oil change in the sump plus 20 gallons in the oil cooler and filters. Pretty expensive to run one of these.
I dont know where you get your numbers from but the 3516D in the 793 trucks, which is basically the same engine, runs between 95-160 liters per hour between 1400-1500 kw load depending on truck speed.
@@SweedSleds95 Optimal fuel consumption on a 1 MW diesel generator on full load is usually quoted as 260 litres per hour so 533 litres sounds about right for a 2MW unit in real operating conditions.
Looks liek the perfect candidate for an engine swap.
តុកកាតា
its a fine engine for sure you can hear the willing power just waiting to be tapped out of it she would power a small town well done to caterpillar
now thats some immersive engineering!
Вот это дело! Всем хватит телефоны подзарядить! Крутая торговля генераторами!
The sound is music to my ears! I love it!
Falem o que quiser sou eletricista industrial e instrumentista industrial trabalho com motores elétricos Vca e Vcc, mas o motor a diesel é uma obra de arte da engenharia mecânica muito linda.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!! I missed so much that 3516 particular sound at full load. I used to dynoed them. Beatiful 😅
I love beating the hell out of these 3516's when I'm doing switchgear startups. Give me fuel.... or give me death. Haha
I beat the hell out of a 3512 loadbanking it. The customer wanted a full rebuild on the job site year later because it was old and we found all sorts of issues during the rebuild.
Hell yea. I beat the hell out of a 3512 loadbanking it. Year later we ended up rebuilding it. Found all sorts of issues during the rebuild. I find pleasure on loadbanking big units for some reason.
@@elkinhernandez4120 yeah, I just beat the hell out of some old 3512A's at a shitplant in california. They had the timing retarded, so they wouldn't block load any more than 60% nameplate. Lame....
When it catches that second wind 💦
😂
When it Catches that second wind Drank like a Half-Gallon of Díesel or Maybe more 😁😁
The good old haul truck engines that sound so f***ing good
Look at that massive Generac behind it!
Cummins, Generac, a little bit of everything and given day in our yard. We have 434 units right now. www.generatorsource.com/Inventory
Not much compares than being in a building when these things start up .
Дизель красиво работает!
I love working on a 3500. Ty for video
bro I would love to just have one of those in my garage for when a storm knocks my house's power out ooooohhh that'd be awesome. Sorry neighbors!!!
Exactly what I need for my secret lair
I want one,I want one..I absolutely dont have any use but still I want one..I will fire it up every Sunday morning...
No mames esos si son coyoles, desde el arranque hasta el apagado y ese silbido del turbo esta perron!!!
Now that's why we use catioler mussle power amazing great looking generator
Texas might want to borrow this.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience sir
beautiful sound. i worked 5 years on such diesel natural gas and bio gas. in my country is Poland
It can run my entire town and still won't sweat 🥺
True
Beautiful sound, i lik a lot. I'm from Brasil.
I need a backup generator for my shed is this a good option?
Yup,if your shed is 10000 sqft or more.
LOL in theory if I had room for it, this would be a kick ass option
@@willcarlton3906 I have a 120 KW Caterpillar genset in my garage connected to my home through an automatic transfer switch. If I turn on every electrical load in my home it is about half of the generator’s capacity. Through several power failures it has never let me down. I have told my neighbor that he can run cables over to my home and I will give him power during a long power outage if he will help me pay for the diesel fuel used by the generator.
damn V type and 16 cylinder head i wonder how to time this DG
I worked on servers facility in Switzerland they fit 6 of these in a basement. They run bus bars instead of cables.
I love this yellow baby...
That thing sure is nice. Useless for me but still beautiful.
That was some serious sudden load ...
Ok pal you got a sale I'm puttin' it in my Silverado tomorrow!
Good machine very beautiful useful God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I need this for uninterrupted online studies
Now THAT is a genny. Wowser...
i need this for my bathroom light so I can burn down the damn house! lol damn that's big
Beautiful sound of that baby
The Adeptus Mechanicus approves!
That Is power!!! 💪🏻
EVERY TESLA needs one of those on a trailer....... now that charging in california is MORE THAN PETROL REFILL cost.
I love this video and I love diesel generators
interesting why this genset is so shine in this uncoverd situation and then i have'nt seeing any sound proof exhaust on it!
They often ship with exhaust removed to cut down on height to get under bridges and then it’s reattached at final job site. The exhaust pipe/mufflers etc are often 4 to 6 feet long on top of an 8 to 10 foot tall unit with most bridges and tunnels being 14 feet or less.
this is great where is very very cold
Caterpillar 3516, EMCP II with GSC 😍
Good preformance
Superb ! 👍
What a MACHINE
This is great Diesel Generator.
That V 16 thing can power a godamn tank
I think the exhaust pipe should be lengthened
Wow amazing ...
👍👍🔥🔥☕☕☕☕
That could power multiple homes.
Off course it's a Caterpillar V16 3516B High Displacement engine to produce 2000 KW or 2 MW electric current for hundreds of home sweet home 😎
Usually average home needs 2.5 kW power...
So accordingly that machine can provide for 800 Houses.
Swap the alternator for the 138kv model and you could hook this straight up to the substation transformer and power the whole city haha.
Directly, no, you'd need a transformer to take the 277V 3 phase/480V per phase output and drop it to 120/240V single phase first.
Here in Honolulu Hawaii on the Eastside of the island a few millionaires with ocean front property have cat powered diesel engines not as big as this but the one's I've seen are impressive
I imagine their homes are pretty big and have a 250 to 500 no doubt!
That would be great for my garden shed 😂🤣😍
I live those clean diesel engines
They should put one of these on every block
i love the sound
Why does it take so long to spin down? Does it have a massive flywheel or compression release? I would've thought a diesel (being high compression) would spin down. It's really cool.
The armature of that generator the diesel is connected to has quite a bit of rotating mass

nice one i wish i could have job with your company, am a mechanical /maintenance technician,
As the content/social guy I don't handle hiring, but we are always looking... www.generatorsource.com/Career_Opportunities.aspx.
This looks like something Linus would use to power and cool his LED PC!
hi great video, how does load bank testing work, i understand you do something with the alternator/generator so that the engine has to work harder
It is basically a very large electric heater. Yes, it is to provide load for the alternator to load the engine.
It's for off-grid in Texas!
Que máquina em 😲😲😲😲😲
Prepare a list of all fuel station in the city
2000A! Holy sweet jesus..
Perfect for charge "green" eletric cars... 😂😂😂
Good job
amazing machine
No one noticed that this unit is full commercial? Never hook this unit to your house. You’ll blow all your appliances out. This one pushes 277/480 volts 3 phase
Any competent electrician should know how to split the phases up to give you 240 and 120.
Your right, however you know as well as I do that they sell chain saws & generators at Home Depot, Lowe’s & other home improvement stores. They never ask the buyer if they will read ALL the precautions associated with the product & implement strategies to prevent self harm or mass harm? I never see anyone leave the store with a set of chaps or an electrician helping them hook it up? I see it time & time again unfortunately as a lineman for the local power company.
You would probably use a step down transformer, but the generator might also be rewirable to 110/208. I think they do this by combining some of the coils in either parallel or series as each phase has multiple coils that line up.
If it's presently 277/480 and it's 12 lead, it can be re-connected for 120/208. You'll need to adjust the voltage regulator a bit.
At 120/208, this unit would deliver nearly 7,000 amps per phase.
So BAD ASS!!!!!!!!
l love big generators⚡💥🤖💪🏼
Belíssimo. Gerador
But sweetie, I have to buy the neighbors house to put the generator I just bought on. Love Ya !!!!
So a couple of these for my private island?
Will this thing run my hair dryer ?
Yes and everyone of them on this planet all at once lol
