    Note: Install a shutoff valve between the carburetor and manometer for the high-pressure system. Close this valve when you start the engine or when you stop the engine.

Emissions Analyzer

There are two different emissions analyzers that are listed below:

  • 391-8170 EMISSIONS ANALYZER TOOL GP with Bluetooth

  • 393-0673 EMISSIONS ANALYZER TOOL GP without Bluetooth

Install the emissions analyzer group to monitor the exhaust emissions after the turbocharger. Remove the plug that is located in the exhaust elbow of the engine. Connect the emissions analyzer group in accordance with the manufacturer instructions.

Note: An emissions analyzer that measures NO and NO2 separately must be used. The analyzer is used to check the air/fuel ratio control and adjust the air/fuel ratio control. The accuracy of the emissions analyzer must be within 10% of a standard at the desired engine NOx emissions level. Calibrate the emissions analyzer for both NO and NO2 as needed to maintain this accuracy level.

Prepare the Engine for Start-Up

Ensure that all these factors are in proper working condition prior to the initial start-up: engine installation, driven equipment, all the related hardware, and electrical connections. Failure to perform the commissioning procedure could result in unsatisfactory operation.

A complete fuel analysis must be conducted prior to putting the engine into service. Obtain a fuel analysis to determine the fuel energy content and calculate the methane number. The methane number indicates the ability of the fuel to be ignited and is used to determine desired ignition timing. Both the methane number and the ignition timing will be provided by GERP when a fuel analysis is done. The fuel usage guide on the engine performance sheet can be used to determine the desired ignition timing for the fuel being used.

Obtain several samples of fuel if the quality is expected to change. If the methane number will vary during engine operation, use the lowest expected value to determine ignition timing.

Perform the following procedure for the initial start-up and for start-up after major maintenance and/or after repair.

  1. Verify that the connections between the engine control system and the driven equipment are connected properly.

  2. Install the main 15 amp fuse.

  3. Set the engine control to the "COOLDOWN/STOP" mode. Test each emergency stop button before the engine is started to verify that the engine control system generates an E264 event code.

    1. After the operation of each emergency stop has been verified, set the engine control to the "OFF/RESET" mode. Reset the control system.

  4. Turn on the jacket water heater if equipped.

  5. Inspect the inlet air system. Make sure that the system does not leak. Make sure that the system is free of debris.

  6. Inspect the fuel supply system. Make sure that the system does not leak and is free of debris. Blow any debris from the fuel lines.

  7. Perform the daily inspection and all the daily maintenance procedures. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, Maintenance Interval Schedule.

  8. Verify that the driven equipment is ready for operation.

  15. Verify that the value of the "First Desired Timing" parameter is according to the recommended timing from Gas Engine Rating Pro (GERP) or the fuel usage guide on the engine performance sheet. Enter the correct value if the existing value is incorrect.

  16. Verify that the values for all other specified parameters are correct. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, RENR9352, Electronic Control System Parameters, for additional information on the parameters.

  17. Set the "Full Load Intake Manifold Pressure Configuration" to the inlet manifold pressure specified on the tech data sheet.

  18. Set the "Desired Engine Exhaust NOx Level Setting".

  19. Turn the fuel supply to the engine on. Verify that no gas is leaking and does not flow past the Gas Shutoff Valve (GSOV).

  20. Turn the boost regulator adjustment fully clockwise to set the maximum boost pressure to its greatest allowable setting.

Start the Engine

Note: Several attempts may be required for the initial start-up before the air is purged from the fuel lines.

  1. Start the engine.

    Note: If the engine starts, proceed to Step 2. If the engine will not start or the idle rpm is unstable, perform the following procedure.

    1. Use Cat ET to check for diagnostic codes and for event codes. Correct any active conditions before you continue.

    2. Check to make sure that the GSOV is being energized to allow fuel flow to the engine.

    3. Check the gas pressure regulator differential output setting, refer to "Connect Gauges and Instruments" for more information. Make sure that the differential pressure setting is at least 1.3 kPa (5.2 inch of H2O) to 1.5 kPa (6 inch of H2O).

    4. If engine is not starting due to being overly rich, the "Desired Fuel Valve Offset Position" parameter can be lowered to help close the fuel valve.

    5. Start the engine.

  2. The engine will accelerate too low idle rpm. Operate the engine at low idle. Verify the following conditions:

    • Proper engine oil pressure

    • No fluid leaks

    • No gas leaks


    NOTICE

    Do not remove the cap from the regulator until the load has been removed from the engine. The cap is pressurized by turbocharger boost pressure that is present when the engine is operated under load.


  3. Run the engine at high idle speed with no load. Then adjust the gas pressure regulator to obtain the correct differential pressure of 1.3 kPa (5.2 inch of H2O) to 1.5 kPa (6 inch of H2O).

  4. If required, adjust the differential pressure by removing the cap from the regulator. Turn the threaded disk with the 8T-5160 Gas Regulator Setting Tool. Turning the disk counterclockwise will increase differential pressure. Turning the disk clockwise will decrease the differential pressure.

  5. If the engine is unstable, perform the following procedure:

    1. Record the values for these parameters:

      • "Governor Gain Factor"

      • "Governor Stability Factor"

      • "Governor Compensation Factor"

    2. Set the values for the "Governor Gain Factor" and for the "Governor Stability Factor" to zero.

    3. Adjust the governor. Refer to "Adjusting the Governor".

  6. Allow the engine to reach full operating temperature. The correct setting will provide the most stable rpm.

Adjust the Engine for the Correct Emissions

  1. Turn off the emissions feedback in the Cat ET configuration screen.

  2. Increase the load to 50% while adjusting the power screw to maintain the desired emissions.

    1. If detonation occurs, temporarily retard the ignition timing with Cat ET.

      Note: Detonation may cause severe engine damage. Slowly make all adjustments and pay close attention to the level of the exhaust oxygen/NOx and to the detonation level.

    2. If the engine does not reach the desired load, the throttle is wide open, the NOx level is close to the performance data, and the engine may need more air or turbocharger boost pressure. Turn the adjustment screw for the wastegate clockwise to increase the turbocharger boost pressure.

  3. Increase the load to 100% while adjusting the power screw to maintain the desired emissions.


    Illustration 82g06140210
    Section view of the wastegate
    (1) Plug
    (2) Setscrew
    (3) Nut

  4. Set the wastegate to obtain 60±5% throttle position at full load.

    1. Remove plug (1) from the wastegate and loosen nut (3).

    2. Turn setscrew (2) for the wastegate to obtain a throttle position of 60% ± 5% at full load.

    3. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the turbocharger boost pressure and close the throttle. Turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise to decrease the turbocharger boost pressure and open the throttle.

      Note: If the wastegate set screw it at the lowest limit before reaching the desired throttle position, replace the wastegate spring with the original 7E-4677 Spring (OUTER). If the wastegate set screw is at the highest limit before reaching the desired throttle position, replace the wastegate spring with the original 7E-4676 Spring (INNER).

    4. To obtain the correct throttle position and exhaust emissions at full load, you may need to readjust the following components several times:

      • Power screw

      • Regulator differential pressure

      • Wastegate

    5. When the adjustment of the wastegate is correct, tighten nut (3) and install plug (1).

      Note: The throttle position is reported in Cat ET as "Throttle Actuator Position Command".

  5. Access the "Service/Calibrations/Engine Exhaust NOx Level Sensor" calibration screen on Cat ET, while the engine is operating under full load in the open loop. Follow the prompts that guide you through the calibration procedure.

    1. Use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to adjust the NOx slope to generate a NOx value on Cat ET that matches the NOx value on the emissions analyzer within 10 ppm.

    2. Make small adjustments to the slope during the calibration procedure. Allow the NOx value to stabilize after each adjustment. If large changes are made, engine operation may become unstable.

    3. After adjusting the NOx slope level on Cat ET to within ± 10 ppm of the NOx value on the emissions analyzer, the calibration is complete.

      Note: Make sure that you select "Finish" at the end of the calibration procedure to save the new settings.

  6. Enable the "NOx Feedback" in the Cat ET configuration screen.

  7. Continue to run the engine for 3 minutes or until the emissions stabilize to verify NOx emissions and to verify stable operation.

  8. Operate the engine throughout the expected load range. Verify that the engine rpm is stable, and verify that the throttle positions at full load and the exhaust emissions are correct.

    Note: Fluctuations of the fuel pressure can change the air/fuel ratio. For high-pressure gas fuel systems, the maximum fluctuation that is allowed in the fuel pressure to the engine is 3.4 kPa (0.50 psi). If the pressure in the gas supply line is within acceptable limits, the governor settings may need adjustment. Refer to "Adjusting the Governor".

  9. Change the engine load to the load that is required at the site. Check the emissions level. Verify that the emissions meet the requirements of the site.

  10. Verify that the cooling system temperatures and the cooling system pressures are within the correct operating ranges.

  11. Select the "Information" drop-down menu to view the status parameters. Review the values of the status groups in Cat ET. Record the values of the parameters and save the values for future reference.

Adjusting the Governor

The response of the throttle actuator can be adjusted with Cat ET. Use Cat ET to change these parameters:

  • "Governor Gain Factor"

  • "Governor Stability Factor"

  • "Governor Compensation Factor"

Gain - Gain determines the speed of the control response in adjusting for the difference between the desired condition and the actual condition. Increasing the gain provides a faster response to the difference between the desired condition and the actual condition.

Stability - Stability controls the speed for elimination of the error in the difference between the desired condition and the actual condition. The stability dampens the response to the error. Increasing the stability provides less damping.

Compensation - Compensation is used to adjust the time delay between the control signal and the movement of the actuator. If the compensation is too low, the engine speed will slowly hunt. If the compensation is too high, the engine speed will rapidly fluctuate.

Note: The default value for these parameters is "0". The default values should be sufficient for initial start-up. However, the values may not provide optimum performance.

These adjustments are provided to obtain optimum responses to changes in the engine load and in the engine speed. The adjustments also provide stability during steady state operation.

If you have a problem with instability, always investigate other causes before you adjust the governor. For example, diagnostic codes and unstable gas pressure can cause instability.

When you adjust the governor, make sure that the "Grid Status" parameter is "Off".

To change the "Governor Gain Factor" or the "Governor Stability Factor" , use the "Real Time Graphing" feature on the "Information" drop-down menu of Cat ET. The graph provides the best method for observing the effects of your adjustments.

After adjustments, always test the stability by interrupting the engine speed and/or load. Operate the engine through the entire range of speeds and of loads to ensure stability.

Note: Adjustment of the "Governor Gain Factor" directly affects the speed of the throttle actuator when there is a difference between the actual engine speed and the desired engine speed. An excessive increase of the "Governor Gain Factor" may amplify instability.

To set the "Governor Gain Factor", increase the value until the actuator becomes unstable. Slowly reduce the value to stabilize the actuator. Observe that the engine operates properly with little overshoot or undershoot.

Adjustment of "Governor Stability Factor" dampens the actuator response to changes in load and in speed. Increasing the value provides less damping. Decreasing the value provides more damping. To reduce an overshoot, decrease the value. To reduce any undershoot, increase the value.

Note: An increase of the "Governor Stabillity Factor" may require a decrease of the "Governor Gain Factor" to maintain engine stability.

Illustration 83 shows some typical curves for transient responses.



Illustration 83g01017530
Typical curves for transient responses
(Y) Engine speed
(X) Time
(1) The "Governor Gain Factor" is too high and the "Governor Stabillity Factor" is too low. There is a large overshoot on start-up and there are secondary overshoots on transient loads.
(2) The "Governor Gain Factor" is slightly high and the "Governor Stabillity Factor" is slightly low. There is a slight overshoot on start-up but the response to transient loads is optimum.
(3) The "Governor Gain Factor" is slightly low and the "Governor Stabillity Factor" is slightly high. There is optimum performance on start-up but slow response for transient loads.
(4) The "Governor Gain Factor" is too low and the "Governor Stabillity Factor" is too high. The response for transient loads is too slow.
(5) The response to transient loads is adjusted for optimum performance.

The default value of the "Governor Compensation Factor" is acceptable for most applications. Do not adjust the "Governor Compensation Factor" unless the engine response to changes in load is unacceptable.

Decrease the "Governor Compensation Factor" until a slow, periodic instability is observed. Then, slightly increase the value. Repeat the adjustments of the "Governor Gain Factor" and of the "Governor Stability Factor". Continue to increase the "Governor Compensation Factor". Readjust the "Governor Gain Factor" and the "Governor Stability Factor" until stability is achieved. Adjustments until the engine response to changes in load and in speed is optimized.

Illustration 84 is a graphic representation of adjusting the "Governor Compensation Factor".

Unburned Gas − Purge

The following events cause unburned gas to remain in the air inlet and in the exhaust manifold:

  • Emergency stop

  • Engine overspeed

  • The GSOV is commanded to close and the GSOV does not close.

  • Unsuccessful successive attempts to start the engine

Unburned gas may remain in the air inlet and exhaust system after several unsuccessful attempts to start the engine. The unburned gas may increase to a concentration that may ignite during a successive attempt to start the engine.

Perform the following procedure to purge the unburned gas:

Note: This procedure will not work if the engine control does not control the GSOV.

  1. Connect Cat ET to the engine.

  2. Verify that the value of the "Engine Purge Cycle" parameter is equal to 10 seconds less than the value of the "Crank Cycle" parameter.

  3. Set the engine control to the START mode. The engine will crank for the "Engine Purge Cycle" time. Then, the gas shutoff valve will be energized and the ignition will be enabled. The engine will start.

  4. Continue with your previous procedure.
