Product Description: Cat Turbocharger 302‑7436 / 285‑0369 / 296‑7631 for Caterpillar Bulldozers
The turbocharger assemblies identified by Caterpillar part numbers 302‑7436, 285‑0369 and 296‑7631 are genuine Cat turbochargers designed for high‑output diesel engines used in Caterpillar D‑series track‑type tractors (bulldozers), as well as other heavy‑duty earthmoving equipment. As a key component of the forced induction system, the turbocharger uses exhaust gas energy to spin a turbine wheel, which drives a compressor wheel that forces more air into the engine‘s cylinders. This increases volumetric efficiency, allowing more fuel to be burned per cycle, which results in significantly higher power output, improved torque response and better fuel economy compared to a naturally aspirated engine of the same displacement.
