G3516B Engines Caterpillar


Engine Overload

Usage:

G3516B 7EZ

Probable Causes

  • Excessive inlet air pressure

  • The Low Heat Value (LHV) of the gas or the specific gravity of the gas is significantly different from the value that is programmed.

Recommended Repairs

Check the Inlet Air Pressure

The calculated engine load increases when the inlet air pressure increases. Measure the inlet air pressure during engine operation with a load. For specific data on the engine, refer to the engine Technical Marketing Information.

Obtain a Fuel Analysis and Program the Fuel Energy Content

Obtain an analysis of the gas in order to determine the LHV. Program the correct LHV for the "Fuel Quality" configuration parameter.

If the LHV of the gas does not match the "Fuel Quality" parameter value that is programmed into the ECM, program the ECM with the correct value for the "Fuel Quality" parameter by selecting the "Change" button in the lower left corner of the screen. Type the correct value and then select "OK".

If the quality of the gas is not consistent, obtain several analyses over a period of time. Program the "Fuel Quality" configuration parameter to the average value of the LHV.
