Ease of installation
In 160 countries, in thousands of applications, Perkins has become a world leader, having
established itself as a byword for todays off-highway diesel engines with its unique
combination of performance, reliability and value.
The requirements of the marketplace, legislators, customers and users have been
carefully researched to create a new engine family specifically for the Gen Set market -
the 2300 Series.
Offering a value solution with proven core components and a full ElectropaK specification,
the 14 litre 2300 Series combines cleanliness
with class-leading power density and a
low cost of ownership.
The use of full authority
electronic engine control and
a sophisticated
Mechanically actuated,
Electronically controlled
Unit Injector system
(MEUI) permits
extremely precise
control of fuel
injection timing and
duration. The
ensuing combustion
process is
complete, efficient
and clean, enabling
the 2300 Series to
comply with the
requirements of
1
/2 TA
Luft (1986), EPA Tier 2
and EU Stage 2
legislation, whilst still
producing exceptional power
output from a compact
package.
The engines environmental credentials are
further endorsed through the use of Perkins
new Ecoplus oil and fuel filtration system, which employs low
cost incinerable filter elements encased in re-useable canisters to cut operator disposal
costs and reduce the waste buried in our planet.

The introduction of 2300 Series
opens the way for new levels
of quality to be achieved.
Beginning with predictive
design techniques and
finite element
analysis, progressing
through extensive
development and
field trials in
customer
applications, the
2300 Series has
been created and
tested with
quality in mind.
This attention to
detail in the design
and manufacturing
stages pays dividends
when it comes to
operating the engine. High
performance, combined with
excellent fuel consumption, 500
hour oil change intervals, extended
maintenance periods, up to two years
warranty and a full suite of electronic service
and diagnostic tools sees the 2300 Series usher in a
truly New Generation of gen set power.

Exhaust Manifold (10)
The exhaust manifold utilises stainless steel thermal sleeves in the
exhaust ports. The sleeves are surrounded by an air gap which helps
to contain the heat in the exhaust gases until they reach the
turbocharger, reducing the amount of heat that is transferred to the
cooling system, adding to the thermal efficiency of the
turbocharger and reducing the cost of
the charge cooler.
Cylinder Head (1)
The single-piece cast iron head incorporates a
four valve per cylinder layout with a centrally
positioned unit injector; this provides
greater volumetric efficiency giving
improved power and reduced
emissions. The cylinder head
also incorporates a long
overlap camshaft, which
enables the engine to get
higher air throughput for
increased durability at
higher powers.
Composites (2)
Composite material has
been selected for the engine
top cover, sump and timing
gear cover. Contributing to
the reduction of noise
transmission through their
isolated mountings, these
components are also
responsible for reducing the
cost and weight of the
engine. The composite sump
also offers an increased
capacity to give longer oil life
and extend the time between
services to 500 hours.
Roller Rockers
(8)
Reduce wear on the
cam lobes and followers
giving increased
intervals between
adjustment and
reducing the overall
maintenance required
of the engine.
Mounted Air
System (7)
The mounted air cleaner has a
built in restriction indicator and
offers a fully matched cost effective
air filtration system that will protect the
engine across a wide variety of medium
and heavy duty applications.
Engine
Control
Module (6)
Controlling the unit injectors, the
full authority electronic control
system permits precise control
of the injection timing and
duration, to give complete,
clean and efficient combustion.
Piston(5)
Articulated pistons feature steel
crowns and aluminium skirts for
durability at high power outputs,
plus reduced friction and noise.
Sculpted Engine
Block (3)
The sculpted engine block with ladder
frame construction and internal galleries
adds to the structural integrity of the overall
engine assembly, reducing vibration and noise
transmission and reducing the potential for leaks from
oil, coolant or fuel systems.
Ecoplus
Filtration (4)
The Ecoplus fuel and oil filters feature re-useable
canisters with disposable high efficiency filter elements,
improving engine protection, contributing to extended oil
change intervals, reducing cost of ownership and
reduced environmental impact.
2
MEUI
(Mechanically actuated
Electronically controlled
Unit Injectors) (9)
Variable injection timing and duration giving
lower emission levels and fuel
consumption. High injection pressure for
better fuel atomisation, more complete
combustion and greater efficiency.
The elimination of high pressure
fuel lines, removes the potential
for leaks and reduces the
overall maintenance cost
of the engine.
New Spiral
roving
This unique
feature eliminates
pleat dancing or
flexing, resulting in
a dramatic
increase in
filtration efficiency,
helping to
maximise engine
life.
New moulded
end cap
Filter pleats are
actually moulded
into the caps
during
manufacture.
When hardened an
impenetrable bond
is formed, putting
an end to leaks!

Ecoplus Features
Clean Change System Technology
Ecoplus exclusive design and construction provides an easy and cleaner solution for replacing filters. This unique
filtration gives a higher performance solution which promotes better engine protection and lower running costs.
Oil Filtration
Ecoplus oil flow is the reverse of conventional spin-on or element filters.
Dirt and abrasive particles are captured on the inside of the
element ensuring:
" Canister remains clean
" Replacement and disposal of used filters is
simple and hassle free
" Oil filtration to 35 microns
Ecoplus oil filtration system has a unique
canister and filter head design
incorporating:
" Drain plug - no spillage or mess
" Heavy duty construction - impact
resistant
" Square drive cast in - simple
canister removal
" Quick lock thread design -
ensures the canister cannot be
damaged or fitted incorrectly
during element change

ECM
Perkins electronic control system is designed specifically for the off-highway diesel engine market
from a proven technology base. This allows the use of an engine-mounted ECM with high temperature
and vibration tolerances, coupled to wiring harnesses and sensors designed for use in the harshest off-
highway environments.
The full authority electronic control system gives the
operator the benefits of:
" Improved fuel consumption through
more precise control of injection
timing and duration
" Machine protection under
extreme operating
conditions
" Easy servicing and
fault diagnostics
" Improved functionality
and flexibility
" Improved reliability
through better
engine
monitoring and
planned
maintenance
The electronic engine
control system used on
2300 Series has been
designed for easy service
and diagnosis through
Perkins TIPSS suite of
electronics tools.
