Why are cat coolants good for a caterpillar?
It’s hands-off and worry-free. Cat coolants provide excellent protection against boiling and freezing to prevent component damage. They are designed as part of the Cat System Solution to offer superior protection against corrosion, scaling and deposits.
How does a circulating coolant heater work?
The Forced Flow Circulation Heater circulates warm coolant throughout the engine to provide even heat distribution.
How many watts does an engine block heater need?
For example, the colder the air, the more powerful heater required. The amount of water for cooling and the overall surface area of the engine also play an important role. Normal heating situations may require 3 watts of power for every cubic inch of compression space, and colder applications may go up to 5 watts per cubic inch.
What kind of engine heater does HotStart use?
HOTSTART’s CLV Single Fluid Electrical Engine Heater is designed to preheat coolant to heat the prime movers of locomotives as well as diesel and gas engines of generators, marine vessels and mining…

What should I do about my caterpillar water pump?
Consider a coolant analysis program, such as the S•O•℠ coolant analysis offered by Caterpillar Inc., to evaluate the effectiveness of your coolant and check for contaminants. Clean the water pump drain vent and inspect for leakage of the pump seal. Inspect and maintain the sea water coolant system.
How often should I Change my caterpillar’s coolant?
Although the glycol in the antifreeze mixture does not wear out, the corrosion inhibitors lose their effectiveness over time. You can eliminate the need for multiple additive replacements by using the new Cat® Extended Life Coolant, which requires only one addition of “extender” at 3,000 hours or three years.
