The CA4D engine is a four-cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine.
It is available in various displacement options, including 2.67 liters, 3.76 liters, and 4.75 liters, allowing it to cater to different truck sizes and load capacities. The engine's design incorporates modern features to optimize fuel efficiency, power output, and durability.
To comply with stringent emission regulations, the CA4D engine is equipped with an advanced common rail fuel injection system. This system precisely controls the fuel delivery to each cylinder, resulting in improved combustion efficiency and reduced emissions. The engine also utilizes a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system to further reduce harmful pollutants, such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides.
The CA4D engine series offers varying power and torque outputs depending on the specific model and application. Power ratings range from around 130 horsepower (hp) to over 200 hp, while torque levels can exceed 500 Newton-meters (Nm). This ample power and torque ensure that the engine delivers excellent acceleration, towing capability, and gradeability, making it suitable for a wide range of trucking tasks.
Engine reliability and durability are crucial in commercial trucking, and the CA4D engine excels in these aspects. It features a robust engine block constructed from high-quality materials to withstand heavy-duty operations and resist fatigue. The engine's components, such as the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft, are designed for strength and durability, ensuring a long service life.
The CA4D engine incorporates an efficient cooling system that maintains optimal operating temperatures, even under extreme conditions.
This system includes a large radiator, thermostatically controlled fan, and strategically placed vents to dissipate heat effectively and prevent overheating.
In terms of serviceability, the CA4D engine is designed with accessibility and ease of maintenance in mind. Critical components, such as the oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter, are conveniently located for quick inspection and replacement. Routine maintenance procedures are straightforward, ensuring minimal downtime and reduced maintenance costs for truck operators.
