Ideal applications for G3500 engines include gas lift, gas gathering, and wellhead gas compression. Cat G3508 gas engine. Ratings: 391-500 bkW (524-670 bhp) @ 1200-1400 rpm are NSPS site compliant capable with customer-provided air-fuel ratio control and aftertreatment or available for non-regulated areas.

G3508 Gas Compression Engine

Features

  • Emissions

    Meets U.S. EPA Spark Ignited Stationary NSPS Emissions for 2007/8

  • Advanced Digital Engine Management

    ADEM A3 control system providing integrated ignition, speed governing, protection, and controls, including detonation-sensitive variable ignition timing. ADEM A3 has improved: user interface, display system, shutdown controls, and system diagnostics.

  • Lean Burn Engine Technology

    Lean-burn engines operate with large amounts of excess air. The excess air absorbs heat during combustion reducing the combustion temperature and pressure, greatly reducing levels of NOx. Lean-burn design also provides longer component life and excellent fuel consumption.

  • Ease of Operation

    Side covers on block allow for inspection of internal components

  • Full Range of Attachments

    Large variety of factory-installed engine attachments reduces packaging time

  • Testing

    Every engine is full-load tested to ensure proper engine performance

  • Gas Engine Rating Pro

    GERP is a web-based program designed to provide site performance capabilities for Cat® natural gas engines for the gas compression industry. GERP provides engine data for your site’s altitude, ambient temperature, fuel, engine coolant heat rejection, performance data, installation drawings, spec sheets, and pump curves.
