New Feature 3

Power Train
Delivers top performance and durability in tough applications.

Air-to-Air Aftercooler (ATAAC) System. The ATAAC system provides a separate cooling for the intake manifold air. It routes hot, compressed air from the turbo and cools it with a single pass, air-to-air aluminum heat exchanger. The cooled, compressed air greatly reduces the emissions produced, meeting U.S. EPA Tier 3/EU Stage III requirements. Cat C15 Engine with ACERT Technology. The Cat C15 engine is an increased displacement version of the proven Cat 3406 engine. The C15 is U.S. EPA Tier 3/EU Stage III compliant and features a 3.5 percent horsepower increase over the previous 3406. The four stroke engine delivers fuel economy, durability and reliability in the most demanding conditions. High torque rise delivers performance you can feel with greater rimpull, lift force and faster cycle times. Resilient engine mounts dampen vibration for lower sound levels. Engine Lubrication. Engine lubricating oil is filtered, cooled and supplied by a gear-type pump. Mechanical Electronic Unit Injector (MEUI). MEUI is a high-pressure, direct injection fuel system that is virtually adjustment-free. It electronically monitors operator and sensor inputs to optimize engine performance. Airflow matched turbocharger with power rating helps reduce emissions. 19 percent more bearing area allows the engine to operate at the maximum cylinder pressure. Higher cylinder pressure capability helps reduce fuel consumption and improves high altitude operation and provides reduced emissions.

ADEM IV (Advanced Diesel Engine Management) System. ADEM IV uses a 32-bit computer with sensors throughout the engine to regulate fuel delivery, valve timing and all other engine systems that require input to manage load and performance. ADEM IV also offers automatic altitude compensation, a cold mode start-up strategy, oil pressure and coolant warnings which result in precise engine speed control, superior cold start capability, low smoke and emissions in all operating conditions.

Cylinder heat exhaust port sleeves reduce heat rejection which results in less heat transfer into the water jacket system and provides high torque rise.

Next Generation Modular Radiator (NGMR). The parallel flow system with six cores standard (seven on the high ambient machine) improves cooling capabilities. Serviceability is also enhanced as there is no top tank to remove. The NGMR uses copper brazed brass tubes and copper fins.

Transmission. The extreme duty, planetary, powershift Cat transmission features heavy-duty components to handle the toughest jobs. The four planet drives operate in all gears forward and reverse. Electronic controls provide features to enhance productivity, durability and serviceability. The additions of the Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC) contributes to improved shift quality, reduced torque spikes and overall transmission durability. Control Throttle Shift (CTS) offers smoother shifts and improves clutch and power train life.

Torque Converter. The torque converter uses a high-capacity impeller to handle the engines increased torque rise (24 percent) and power. Heavy-Duty Axles. The fixed front and oscillating (13 degrees) rear heavy-duty axles feature strong gears and bearings in both the differentials and heavy-duty final drives for increased durability. Permanently lubricated, maintenancefree U-joints result in fewer parts and improved serviceability. Free floating axles shafts can be removed independently from the wheels and planetary drives. Spindles and Final Drives. Planetary units can be removed independently from the wheels and brakes. The final drives feature planetary reduction at each wheel, and with torque developed at the wheel, less stress is placed on the axle shafts. Differentials. Conventional front and optional No-SPIN rear differentials deliver maximum traction in low traction or inconsistent ground conditions. Service Brakes. Completely enclosed and located on the two front wheels, the service brakes are self-adjusting with modulated engagement and are designed for easy servicing. With two brake pedals, the right pedal controls standard braking while engine deceleration and braking occurs with the left pedal. Parking Brake. The spring-applied, oilreleased, dry drum design parking brake is mounted on the transmission output shaft driveline for manual operation. The Caterpillar Monitoring System alerts the operator if the transmission is engaged while the parking brake is applied.

Secondary Brake. The secondary brake can be applied manually by the operator. In addition, the Caterpillar Monitoring System alerts the operator if pressure drops and will automatically apply the parking brake.

Cold Start. This feature is improved by not only ADEM IV but also a new larger starter and four higher CCA batteries (1000 CCA).

Hydraulics
Well-balanced hydraulics deliver precise, low-effort control and trouble-free operation.

Command Control Steering. A mechanical feedback system combines with valve ratio to provide quarter-turn, side-toside steering. Unlike systems that rely on steering wheel velocity to activate steering cylinders, Command Control steering directly links the steering wheel position to articulation. The speed the machine turns is proportional to the steering wheel position. The benefit is precise control, quicker response and dramatically reduced operator motion and effort. Hydraulic System. The hydraulic system provides low-effort blade control. Seat mounted levers send electrical signals to a pilot valve mounted on the front frame, moving the sound, heat and effort caused by the hydraulic valve out of the operators station. Hydraulic Power Steering. Center-point frame articulation permits the front and rear wheels to track with hydraulic power steering. The hydraulic system has full-flow filtering. The steering wheel operated pilot valve controls flow to the steering cylinders. The steering angle is 42 degrees. Load Sensing Steering. With load sensing steering, machine performance is maximized because power is directed to the steering system only when the operator steers the machine. This allows more power to be applied to the ground when the machine is not being steered. It also helps decrease fuel consumption since the steering system does not constantly draw on the engine.

Positive Displacement Hydraulic Pumps. All hydraulic pumps are mounted on a single pump drive for improved serviceability XT-3 and XT-6 Hose. Reliable XT-3 ES and XT-6 ES hoses, along with o-ring face seals and a large capacity life cylinder complete the hydraulic system. Reliable components reduce the risk of leaks and blown lines, helping protect the environment and reducing operating costs.

Automatic Blade Positioning. Operator automation is provided through the use of in-cylinder sensors and implement software.

Structures
Advanced design and materials provide superior strength to the purpose built structures.

Structure Construction. Combines the use of robotic welding on up to 90 percent of the 824H, while castings are used in several areas to increase strength by helping to spread the loads and reduce the number of parts. This provides highly consistent welds with deep plate penetration and excellent plate fusion. The benefits are increased durability and fatigue strength. The computer controlled machining ensures the alignment of pin bore, axle pad, cab mount and transmission/engine components.

Box Section Engine End Frame. Designed to resist twisting and torsional forces, the box section engine end frame provides a solid foundation for the axles, engine and transmission. Dozer Front Frame. Built specifically to handle greater amounts of rimpull, the 824H can readily push its weight plus the weight of the material for long distances in heavy dozing applications. Spread Hitch Design. The spread hitch design improves load distribution by reducing loads to the hitch bearings. The large center hitch design improves hydraulic line routing and makes service access easier.

Upper and Lower Hitch Pins. The hitch pins pivot on double-tapered roller bearings. Box-style sections in the hitch pins and crossmember assembly improve frame structure strength. Increased diameter lower hitch pins add to the robust design. Engine and Transmission Mounts. A rubber isolation mount design reduces noise and vibration.

Blades
Multiple box-section construction with heat treated moldboard and DH-2 steel edges and end bits contribute to long life.

Extended Wear Bulldozer Arrangement. The Extended Wear bulldozer arrangement is designed for moving large loads over long distances in harsh conditions. It consists of a 6.9 m3 (9 yd3) U-blade with Abrasion Resistant Material (ARM) on the front and sides, cutting edges, push arms and integrated cylinder guards, and a heavy-duty stabilizer. Coal Blade. The coal blade can increase coal capacity up to 50 percent per cycle over standard U-blades. Woodchip Universal Blade. The woodchip U-blade has a unique wing configuration that provides aggressive side setting into the chip pile, quickly knocking down stacked chips and loading the blade. Operator Controls. Lift, tilt, tip and ABP are standard. The controls are conveniently located to the right of the operator. Applications. The 824H excels at high production dozing and spreading fill, backfilling, stockpiling, charging hoppers, maintaining haul roads and cleaning up around job sites. Blade Options. Contact your Cat dealer for blade options and availability that include: Straight Blade. Straight blade is used for general work.

Universal Bulldozer Arrangement. 6.9 m3 (9 yd3) Universal blade for moving large loads over a long distance while retaining control of the load. Custom Options. Ask your Cat dealer about Cat Work Tool or Custom options.

Optional Features
Available options can augment the 824H and meet your needs.

Full Coverage Fenders. The front fenders extend beyond the outermost surface of the machine to prevent mud from splattering the front and side windows and to keep rocks from flying into window glass. The optional full coverage fender package includes front fenders with mud flaps. Full coverage rear fenders extend to the bumper, along with a rear rubber (lateral) fender extension to ensure the entire tire width is covered. Optional Counterweight. This feature is located on either side of the front frame. For each specific application, there is a correct machine weight for proper balancing of traction, flotation, mobility and response. Lower machine weight is usually required for typical second gear applications such as fill spreading, stockpiling, road maintenance, towing implements and shovel cleanup. Higher machine weight is usually required for such typical first gear applications as heavy dozing and pushloading. Floodlights. Located on the 824H exterior, floodlights are super damp and will last up to seven times longer than previous lights. An auxiliary light package with the cab (two facing forward and two facing rearward) is available. Fast Fuel Fill. High speed fueling allows your 824H to stay in production longer. Optional Sliding Cab Window. Located in the right and left doors are optional sliding windows to provide access to outside air without opening the door.
