Crankcase Ventilation for University New CHP Engine: CAT G3520H

A power systems dealer on the east coast of the United States required a reliable closed Crankcase ventilation solution. A closed system is routed back to the low pressure side of the turbo, downstream of the air cleaner. This was for a new Combined Heat and Power (CHP) gas engine application for a large University expansion project.

Crankcase Ventilation for Greenhouse New CHP Engines: CAT G3516H

A large Caterpillar Power Systems dealer in Europe approached Solberg in 2013 as they were having challenges with their current crankcase ventilation system on three CAT G3516H gas engines. There was significant contamination of the turbo with oil mist from the crankcase. Maintaining a specific vacuum/suction level in the crankcase was also proving to be difficult.

Crankcase Ventilation for Infirmary CHP Engine: CAT G3520H

A power systems dealer partnered with an infirmary to supply three gas engines for a CHP project. The existing crankcase breather systems were allowing bypass to contaminate the engine intake air filters and subsequently the internal engine components, the turbo charger and inter coolers. “This became quite serious when we found crystallized oil on the turbo blades which led to a costly overhaul.”

Crankcase Ventilation for Water Treatment Facility: CAT G3520C

A private energy company was looking to solve their crankcase blow-by oil mist issues. The oil mist was venting from their four Caterpillar G3520C natural gas engines which were generating power at a water treatment plant. They were looking for a cost effective, closed crankcase solution that would require minimal maintenance and no unscheduled downtime due to maintenance.

Crankcase Ventilation for New CHP Engines: CAT G3512E

A power systems dealer was looking for a reliable closed crankcase solution. This was a new installation for three Caterpillar G3512E natural gas engines in the Mid-West United States.These engines were to be used in a CHP application.

Crankcase Ventilation for Data Center: CAT C175-16

A power systems dealer required a quick turn around on a closed crankcase ventilation solution for over 40 Caterpillar C175-16 engines. This would bring the total number of closed crankcase ventilation systems required to over 80 in a very short amount of time. The new solution had to integrate into the existing generator set platform with minimal modification.

Crankcase Ventilation Retrofit for Biogas Engines: CAT C3516

A California based anaerobic digester developer needed a cost effective closed crankcase ventilation system that was tailored to fit Caterpillar 3516 engines. The engines are used for Biogas energy applications for dairy farms and other commercial facilities.

Crankcase Ventilation for New Marine Diesel Engine: CAT C280-12

A Caterpillar Power Systems dealer was looking for a reliable crankcase ventilation solution. The solution needed to effectively capture oil mist and keep it out of the surrounding environment. This was a re-power of two boats receiving two new C280-12 marine propulsion engines.

Crankcase Ventilation Upgrade: Marine Diesel Engine C280-12

A Caterpillar Power Systems dealer was looking for a reliable crankcase ventilation solution for an inland towing vessel. The solution needed to effectively capture oil mist and keep it out of the surrounding environment. This was an upgrade for two C280-12 marine propulsion engines.
