Here is some real Horsepower!!!
These are shots of where I work everyday. I am a Gas Compressor mechanic. What you are looking at is a building full of Cat/Ariel packages. These are all 3600 Series Cat engines. They make about 300 HP per cylinder at 1000 RPM. We have 4, 8 Cylinder engines and 2, 12 Cylinders. You do the math the twelves are 3550 hp to be exact.
Just for reference those are 10 ft. Roll up doors ![]() ![]()

Yeah I have seen that one before. But, these aren't diesels not that cat doesn't make a diesel 3600. These run on natural gas.

Re: Here is some real Horsepower!!!
I work for a Crude oil pipeline company and we use White Superiors on our manline pumps and cats on our generators. By the way this is out in the middle of the gulf of mexico. We just finished setting up 2 4000 hp turbines. driving crude oil pumps on a 20" pipeline that flows around 400,000 barrels a day.

Re: Here is some real Horsepower!!!
Have you guys ever seen the Cooper-Bessemer's? I work for a gas utility, and we have those things to compress the gas.

Re: Here is some real Horsepower!!!
I`m impressed with those Cats.I love indusrial hp.What impresses me about what VetteVet showed is where did they find those teeny men?People used to laugh at me when I said they exist.My mom even thought I was fibbing to keep from getting in trouble when brownies were missing.I finally have proof!Thanks so much Vetman.

Yeah I have worked on those also, Now you are talking about big iron. We had ten Cooper GMV 10 cylinders. Those old two strokes are very durable. Have you ever been around when one of them had a crank case explosion? It's not a pretty site you end up with about 100 gallons of oil on the ground.

Hey cajun we have a few superior 2408's sitting outside the building as well. At my compressor station we move about 480 million cubic feet a day. The Plant at Bridgeport is the second largest in the country. They process about 600 million cubic feet a day and produce about 1700 barrels of product per hour.
