Caterpillar 2 MW Load Bank Test Highlights

[@wipatriot510]

Other than briefly rolling some coal, that big diesel didn't even flinch when the load hit...

[@leeharris3061]

Absolutely beautiful piece of equipment..love the sound quality of this video 👍🏻🍺

[@GavinY]

Pretty sure the exhaust is good enough to recapture heat for district heating

[@vernacular1483]

That beast moves an amazing amount of air

[@jamesdailey2476]

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

[@Sparisland]

Nice!

[@emd6456]

A beast.

[@donnellykieranj]

Great video. Out of interest what is the weight of that unit?

[@dontwanta]

I want that in my Kenworth!!!

[@farmguy2400]

No, you don't.

[@gnarlock3927]

Does this engine drive come in a welder configuration? For my arc furnace

[@dcviper985]

We’ve got 3516s at work that don’t blow black smoke like that… are you using the installed coolant heater?

[@farmguy2400]

What would that do if it was warm?

[@dcviper985]

@farmguy2400 more complete combustion

[@user-cnswr]

Yes..3516. I use to O/H at dealer on Thailand.

[@markloubser2433]

Pretty mild power spec. Nothing glowing or manifolds smoking.....

[@bijujoseparacka6262]

seems the foundation supports are not enough for this massive piece

[@patreilly1458]

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.

[@ginog5037]

Cats rule!

[@brianneu6489]

Is there cribbing under the radiator? Crazy amount of weight hanging off the end if not.

[@minibikemadman]

thats a supercharged one right. so bad ass.

[@davidstewart4570]

Music.

[@nspro931]

They cheated, the load was applied in two steps. First step at 0:15 and second step at 0:18

[@crandonborth]

You probably can’t load it that hard initially 🤷‍♂️

[@nspro931]

@@crandonborth Most generator specs include "accepts full load in one step"
