Seismic Certification
Seismic Certification
- Seismic Certification available.
- Anchoring details are site specific, and are dependent on many factors such as generator set size, weight, and concrete strength.
- IBC Certification requires that the anchoring system used is reviewed and approved by a Professional Engineer
- Seismic Certification per Applicable Building Codes: IBC 2000, IBC 2003, IBC 2006, IBC 2009, CBC 2007, CBC 2010
- Pre-approved by OSHPD and carries an OSP-0321-10 for use in healthcare projects in California
Cat Clean Emissions Module (CEM)
Cat Clean Emissions Module (CEM)
- The Tier 4 Final engine has been optimized to work with the Cat CEM.
- The CEM is a reliable, compact, and lightweight system that gives maximum installation flexibility.
- It features a diesel oxidation catalyst for particulate matter (PM) and hydrocarbon (HC) control.
- Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reduces NOx output and provides integrated sound attenuation.
- The CEM is controlled by a separate dosing module that has been integrated into the standard generator set controls for complete monitoring, protection and closed loop NOx control.
- For more information on the CEM, refer to cut sheet LEHE0359.
