RATINGS AND CONDITIONS 522 bkW/700 bhp @ 2100 rpm
IND - C (Intermittent) Intermittent service where Engine Performance Diesel Engines — 7 liter and
maximum power and/or speed are cyclic (time at full higher
load not to exceed 50%). All rating conditions are based on SAE J1995,
inlet air standard conditions of 99 kPa (29.31 in. Hg)
dry barometer and 25ºC (77ºF) temperature.
Performance measured using a standard fuel with
fuel gravity of 35º API having a lower heating value
of 42,780 kJ/kg (18,390 btu/lb)when used at 29º C
(84.2º F) with a density of 838.9 g/L.
