The KTA19 is a six-cylinder, in-line engine that operates on a four-stroke combustion cycle.
It has a displacement of 19 liters (1,159 cubic inches), which allows it to generate a substantial amount of power. The engine is equipped with a turbocharger and an aftercooler, which help optimize air intake and improve combustion efficiency. This results in enhanced performance and fuel economy.
One of the standout features of the KTA19 engine is its power output. It delivers a power range of 400 to 700 horsepower (298 to 522 kilowatts), making it suitable for heavy-duty construction equipment. The engine's torque output is equally impressive, with a maximum torque of up to 2,508 pound-feet (3,400 Newton-meters), providing the necessary pulling and pushing force for demanding construction tasks.
The KTA19 engine is designed to meet stringent emissions standards. It incorporates advanced fuel systems, including the Cummins PT (Pressure-Time) fuel injection system, which ensures precise fuel delivery and optimal combustion. The engine is also equipped with a high-efficiency air filtration system to minimize the intake of dust and other contaminants, thus increasing its reliability and durability in construction environments.
To withstand the harsh conditions often encountered in construction sites, the KTA19 engine features a rugged design. It has a cast-iron cylinder block and cylinder heads, providing excellent durability and heat dissipation. The engine's components are engineered to withstand heavy loads, high temperatures, and prolonged operation, making it a reliable choice for construction applications.
Maintenance and serviceability are key considerations for construction equipment, and the KTA19 engine addresses these needs.
It is designed for easy access to routine maintenance points, such as oil and fuel filters, ensuring quick and convenient servicing. Additionally, Cummins provides a global network of authorized service locations, ensuring that support and spare parts are readily available when needed.
The KTA19 engine is compatible with a variety of equipment configurations and can be integrated with different transmission systems and power take-off options. This versatility allows it to adapt to various construction equipment types and applications.
