Engine Performance Curves August 2014

 INTRODUCTION
GENERAL INFORMATION
John Deere Engine Performance Curves provide detailed technical
information necessary to properly apply John Deere engines to meet
emissions and customer application requirements. The following infor-
mation is provided to help the reader understand some of the terms that
appear throughout the Engine Performance Curves.
Performance Curves are available for each engine offered to our OEM
customers. Sheet 1 includes graphic curves representing torque, power
and fuel consumption. Subsequent sheets include specific data about
engine performance and support system requirements.
‘Industrial’ Performance Curves include curves for Torque, Power, and
Specific Fuel Consumption. ‘Gen-Set’ Performance Curves include
curves for Power at rated speed and Specific Fuel Consumption based
on application power load.
Since IT4, each of these Performance Curves contains this note:
This Performance Curve provides installation requirements necessary for the
engine to emit at its certified emission levels. For additional information nec-
essary to meet applicable regulatory requirements, refer to the John Deere
Emissions-related Installation Instructions (AG01):
https://power.deere.com/wps/myportal/jdps/products/engines/apguidelines.
Some engine variations are designed and approved for use with jet fuel.
There are hardware restrictions and only some types of jet fuel are rec-
ommended depending on engine model. Engine models compatible
with jet fuel will have a note on the Performance Curve signifying com-
patibility.
Performance Curves for marine propulsion and marine generator
applications are located with the Marine Engine Application Information.

APPLICATION RATINGS \ DEFINITIONS
John Deere power output curves represent the gross engine perfor-
mance capability obtained in accordance with ambient conditions spec-
ified in the following standards:
SAE J1228
SAE J1995
ISO 8528
ISO 8665
ISO 3046 (BS 5514 and DIN 6271 conform to ISO 3046)
For a given industrial engine model, there are various power curves
(ratings) developed and released. Each rating is characterized as Con-
tinuous, Intermittent, Heavy-Duty, or Restricted, as defined below. An
application needs to be properly matched with a rating, based on the
demand the application places on the engine, in order to meet durability
expectations. This includes considering both operating power levels
and operating hours. A more thorough explanation of how to apply
these ratings definitions is given in “Engine Selection” (AG16).
INDUSTRIAL CONTINUOUS
The Industrial Continuous ratings may be operated at any speed and
load without regard to the number of hours. In general, Continuous rat-
ings are applicable for applications that require a large number of oper-
ating hours per year, but do not require, or experience, a large variance
in load. A traditional example is an irrigation pump. Additionally, these
ratings conform to ISO 3046 Continuous Power.
INDUSTRIAL INTERMITTENT
The Industrial Intermittent ratings are the most aggressive ratings for a
given engine model, having higher rated power and/or high Power Bulge
available. Since these curves are so aggressive there are constraints to
their use in terms of average annual usage (AAU) and load factor. These
ratings are generally applicable for applications running an average load
factor below 70% but requiring occasional excursions to full power.
INDUSTRIAL HEAVY DUTY
The Industrial Heavy Duty ratings are between Continuous and Intermit-
tent. The development of these ratings was targeted at specific types of
applications that are similar to John Deere equipment. Heavy Duty rat-
ings are required for these types of applications. A subset of these are
Ag Tractors, Excavators, Crawlers, Scrapers, Forage Harvesters, and
Graders. Please consult with Application Engineering for additional de-
tails. Heavy Duty ratings are also applicable for applications that operate

 INTRODUCTION
with a load factor above 70% and/ or AAU of more than 850 hours. Com-
pared to Industrial Continuous, Heavy Duty ratings are more suitable
when there are larger load fluctuations. Heavy Duty ratings may also be
used in Intermittent rated applications.
PowerTech Engines
The power bulge is limited to periodic usage of no more than two
hours in any 24 hours of operation. A typical power bulge operating
cycle should be less than 15 seconds in duration, with a maximum
duration of 60 seconds.

INDUSTRIAL RESTRICTED
The Industrial Restricted ratings are for applications that require momen-
tary power greater than the Industrial Intermittent Curve. The portion of
the restricted curve that is above the intermittent curve is only intended
for dynamic conditions and any steady-state operation must occur below
the intermittent curve. The application should operate above the intermit-
tent curve less than ten percent of the time.
INDUSTRIAL RATINGS with POWER BULGE - Industrial ratings with
power bulge are provided for engines equipped with electronic gover-
nors. The power bulge option provides higher torque rise (backup)
which allows the engine to absorb momentary application overloads
with minimum engine rpm variation. The power bulge is typically a
5%-10% increase in power at 200 rpm below rated speed, as shown
in the graph below.
Tor ue -- lb-ft (N m)
PRIME POWER GEN-SET - The prime power gen-set engine rating is
the nominal power an engine is capable of delivering with a variable
load for an unlimited number of hours per year with normal mainte-
nance intervals observed. This rating incorporates a 10% overload
capability which is available for up to 2 hours at a time. Operating
time between 100% and 110% of the prime power rating is not to
exceed 8% of the total engine operating time. This rating conforms to
ISO 8528-1 “prime power (PRP)”. The permissible average power for
the prime or PRP rating is not to exceed 70% of rated prime power
when calculated per ISO 8528-1.
The calculated generator set rating range for prime power applica-
tions is based on nominal engine power and a typical fan power and
range of generator efficiency.
The prime power rating is restricted to gen-set applications only and
is not permitted on industrial intermittent or industrial continuous
applications.

STANDBY GEN-SET - The standby gen-set engine rating is the nomi-

nal engine power available at varying load factors for up to 200 hours
Power Bulge per year with normal maintenance intervals observed. No overload

capability is available for this rating. This rating conforms to ISO
8528-1 “Emergency Standby Power (ESP)”. The permissible average
Brake Power -- hp (kW)

power for the standby or ESP rating is calculated per ISO 8528-1.

The calculated generator set rating range for standby applications is

based on nominal advertised power, a typical fan power and range of

Range (rpm) generator efficiency. Block load capability demonstrated during
development is specified on each standby performance curve. A
100% block load derate factor is included on standby performance

P The volume of air that is flowing into the engine under standard conditions. The air flow will vary as
ambient conditions vary from standard conditions. This volume is usually used to size air filters. Pub-
lished values are in “actual flow,” e.g., ACFM. On engines equipped with cooled EGR, there are
engine modes where the actual flow may be higher. For additional information, see AG03.
P The mass of air that flows into the engine under standard conditions.
P The pressure of air entering the engine at the air intake port. This will vary with engine power, espe-
cially for engines with fixed geometry turbochargers. This can be a course indicator of power gener-
ated, and will vary as conditions move from standard conditions.
P The air temperature of the air entering the engine at the air intake manifold. This is only displayed in
the Air Intake Section when the engine is not charge air cooled.
D, E AR The air temperature rise from ambient (air temperature away from the machine) to the compressor
inlet. As this increases the air mass decreases and will affect engine performance and engine emis-
sions.
P AR The maximum air inlet restriction at the engine intake manifold for naturally aspirated engines, or tur-
bocharger compressor inlet for turbocharged engines. Increases in restriction will reduce the perfor-
mance of the engine. It also reduces the air intake filter life when the clean filter restriction is high,
and could result in customer dissatisfaction. Any warning devices should be at this value or lower.
For more information on engines equipped with an EGR cooler, see AG03.
E, P AR This air intake restriction to the turbocharger compressor inlet (or intake manifold for naturally aspi-
rated engines) must meet this requirement to meet emissions requirements and advertised perfor-
mance with a dirty air filter. For more information on engines equipped with an EGR cooler, see
AG03.

ventilation area needed to meet the Max. Air Intake Restriction. Verification area is acceptable is
done by measuring air intake restriction.
This is the anticipated (recommended) air intake piping size needed to meet the Max. Air Intake
Restriction. Verification size is acceptable is done by measuring air intake restriction.
D S The efficiency of the air filter in removing dirt and debris from ambient air before entering the engine.

ant below the max. top tank temperature. In the past, this has been called ATB (air-to-boil). These
terms are often used interchangeably. The industry standard is 47oC or 52oC depending on applica-
tion. Others can be established as part of the OEM specification and matching the machine condi-
tions. This parameter will no longer be listed on new Performance Curves.
