CG260:
HIGH PERFORMANCE WITH HIGHLY EFFICIENT
With recent improvements in turbocharging,
GREATER AVAILABILITY
The CG260 utilizes particle free combustion
with chamber plugs for extended maintenance
intervals and improved heat utilization. The CG260
can run on average 200 hours per year longer
than competitive systems.
SYSTEM CONTROL
Control the entire system, not just the engine,
with the Cat Total Electronic Management System.
Control or monitoring of ancillary equipment such
as heat recovery modules, exhaust aftertreatment
and fuel treatment systems becomes seamless.
Features like temperature monitoring for each
cylinder and anti-knock control allow for maximum
power output and the best possible fuel utilization,
even with fluctuating gas composition.
