Abstract

A fuel oil composition comprises a major proportion of a liquid hydrocarbon middle distillate fuel having a sulphur concentration of 0.2 % or less by weight based on the weight of the fuel, and a minor proportion of a wear-reducing additive comprising an ester for increasing the lubricity of the fuel.

Description

Fuel Composition
This invention relates to fuel compositions useful, for example, to improve lubricity and reduce wear in diesel engines.
The art describes esters as additives for diesel engine fuel. For example, US-A-2,527,889 describes polyhydroxy alcohol esters as primary anti-corrosion additives in diesel engine fuel, and GB-A-1 ,505,302 describes ester combinations including, for example, glycerol monoesters and glycerol diesters as diesel fuel additives, the combinations being described as leading to advantages including less wear of the fuel-injection equipment, piston rings and cylinder liners.
GB-A-1 ,505,302 is, however, concerned with overcoming the operational disadvantages of corrosion and wear by acidic combustion products, residues in the combustion chamber and in the exhaust system. The document states that these disadvantages are due to incomplete combustion under certain operating conditions. Typical diesel fuels available at the date of the document contained, for example, from 0.5 to 1 % by weight of sulphur, as elemental sulphur, based on the weight of the fuel.
The sulphur content of diesel fuels has now been or will be lowered in a number of countries for environmental reasons, i.e. to reduce sulphur dioxide emissions. Thus, heating oil and diesel fuel sulphur content are being harmonised by the CEC at a maximum of 0.2% by weight, and, at a second stage, the maximum content in diesel fuel will be 0.05% by weight. Complete conversion to the 0.05% maximum may be required during 1996.
The process for preparing low sulphur content fuels, in addition to reducing sulphur content, also reduces the content of other components of the fuel such as poiyaromatic components and polar components. Reducing one or more of the sulphur, poiyaromatic and polar component content of the fuel creates a new problem in use of the fuel, i.e. the ability of the fuel to lubricate the injection system of the engine is reduced such that, for example, the fuel injection pump of the engine can fail relatively early in the life of an engine, failure being, eg. in high pressure fuel injection systems such as high pressure rotary distributors, in-line pumps and unit injectors and injectors. Such severe failures are due to wear that is completely different from the corrosive wear problem described in GB-A-1 ,505,302.
As stated, such failure can occur early in the life of an engine; in contrast, the wear problems referred to in GB-A-1 ,505,302 occur late in the life of an engine. The problem created by adopting low sulphur content diesel fuels is described in, for example D. Wei and H. Spikes, Wear, Vol. 111 , No. 2, p. 217, 1986; and R. Caprotti, C. Bovington, W. Fowler and M. Taylor SAE paper 922183; SAE fuels and lubes, meeting Oct. 1992; San Francisco, USA.
It has now been found that the above-mentioned wear problem due to use of fuels having a low sulphur content can be lessened or met by providing certain additives in the fuel.
Thus, a first aspect of the invention is a fuel oil composition comprising a major proportion of a liquid hydrocarbon middle distillate fuel oil having a sulphur concentration of 0.2% by weight or less, and a minor proportion of an additive comprising an ester of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol wherein the acid has from 2 to 50 carbon atoms and the alcohol has one or more carbon atoms.
A second aspect of the invention is the use of a fuel oil composition as defined in the first aspect of the invention as the fuel in a compression-ignition (diesel) engine for controlling wear rate in the injection system of the engine in operation of the engine.
A third aspect of the invention is a method of operating a compression-ignition (diesel) engine comprising providing a fuel oil composition as defined in the first aspect of the invention as the fuel in the engine thereby to control wear rate in the injection system of the engine.
The examples of this specification will demonstrate the efficacy of the additives of the invention in reducing wear when fuel oils of the invention are used.
Whilst not wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that of the additive, in use of the composition in a compression-ignition internal combustion engine, is capable of forming over the range of operating conditions of the engine, at least partial mono- or multi-molecular layers of the additive on surfaces of the injection system, particularly the injector pump that are in moving contact with one another, the composition being such as to give rise, when compared with a composition lacking the additive, to one or more of a reduction in wear, a reduction in friction, or an increase in electrical contact resistance in any test where two or more loaded bodies are in relative motion under non-hydrodynamic lubricating conditions.
The features of the invention will now be described in further detail.
ADDITIVE
As stated, it is believed that the additive, which may be a single additive or mixture of additives, is capable of forming at least partial layers on certain surfaces of the engine. By this is meant that the layer formed is not necessarily complete on the contacting surface. Thus, it may cover only part of the area of that contacting surface, for example 10% or more, or 50% or more. The formation of such layers and the extent of their coverage of a contacting surface can be demonstrated by, for example, measuring electrical contact resistance or electrical capacitance.
Examples of tests that can be used to demonstrate one or more of a reduction in wear, a reduction in friction or an increase in electrical contact resistance according to this invention are the Ball On Cylinder Lubricant Evaluator and High Frequency Reciprocating Rig tests which will be referred to hereinafter.
The acid, alcohol and ester will now be discussed in further detail as follows.
(i) Add
The acid from which the ester is derived may be a mono or polycarboxylic acid such as aliphatic, saturated or unsaturated, straight or branched chain, mono and dicarboxylic acids being preferred. For example, the acid may be generalised in the formula
R'(COOH)x where x represents an integer and is 1 or more such as 1 to 4, and R' represents a hydrocarbyl group having from 2 to 50 carbon atoms and which is mono or polyvalent corresponding to the value of x, the -COOH groups, when more than one is present, optionally being substituent on different carbon atoms from one another.
'Hydrocarbyl' means a group containing carbon and hydrogen which group is connected to the rest of the molecule via a carbon atom. It may be straight or branched chain which chain may be interrupted by one or more hetero atoms such as O, S, N or P, may be saturated or unsaturated, may be aliphatic or alicyclic or aromatic including heterocyclic, or may be substituted or unsubstituted. Preferably, when the acid is monocarboxylic, the hydrocarbyl group is an alkyl group or an alkenyl group having 10 (e.g. 12) to 30 carbon atoms, i.e. the acid is saturated or unsaturated. The alkenyl group may have one or more double bonds, such as 1 , 2 or 3.
Examples of saturated carboxylic acids are those with 10 to 22 carbon atoms such as capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, and behenic acids and examples of unsaturated carboxylic acids are those with 10 to 22 carbon atoms such as oleic, elaidic, palmitoleic, petroselic, riconoleic, eleostearic, linoleic, linolenic, eicosanoic, galoleic, erucic and hypogeic acids. When the acid is polycarboxylic, having for example from 2 to 4 carboxy groups, the hydrocarbyl group is preferably a substituted or unsubstituted polymethylene.
(ii) Alcohol
The alcohol from which the ester is derived may be a mono or polyhydroxy alcohol such as a trihydroxy alcohol. For example, the alcohol may be generalised in the formula
R2(OH)v
where y represents an integer and is 1 or more and R2 represents a hydrocarbyl group having 1 or more carbon atoms such as up to 10 carbon atoms, and which is mono or polyvalent corresponding to the value of y, the -OH groups, when more than one is present, optionally being substituent on different carbon atoms from one another. 'Hydrocarbyl' has the same meaning as given above for the acid. For the alcohol, the hydrocarbyl group is preferably an alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted polymethylene group. Examples of monohydric alcohols are lower alkyl alcohols having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl alcohols.
Examples of polyhydric alcohols are aliphatic, saturated or unsaturated, straight chain or branched alcohols having 2 to 10, preferably 2 to 6, more preferably 2 to 4, hydroxy groups, and having 2 to 90, preferably 2 to 30, more preferably 2 to 12, most preferably 2 to 5, carbon atoms in the molecule. As more particular examples the polyhydric alcohol may be a glycol or diol, or a trihydric alcohol such as glycerol.
(iii) The Esters
The esters may be used alone or as mixtures of one ore more esters and may be composed only of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Preferably the ester has a molecular weight of 200 or greater, or has at least 10 carbon atoms, or has both.
Examples of esters that may be used are lower alkyl esters, such as methyl esters, of the above exemplified saturated or unsaturated monocarboxylic acids. Such esters may, for example, be obtained by saponification and esterification of natural fats and oils of plant or animal origin or by their transesterification with lower aliphatic alcohols.
Examples of esters of polyhydric alcohols that may be used are those where all of the hydroxy groups are esterified, those where not all of the hydroxy groups are esterified, and mixtures thereof. Specific examples are esters prepared from trihydric alcohols and one or more of the above- mentioned saturated or unsaturated carboxylic acids, such as glycerol monoesters and glycerol diesters, e.g. glycerol monooleate, glycerol dioleate and glycerol monostearate. Such polyhydric esters may be prepared by esterification as described in the art and/or may be commercially available.
The ester may have one or more free hydroxy groups. FUEL OIL
Preferably, the sulphur concentration is 0.05% by weight or less, such as 0.01% by weight or less, and may be as low as 0.005% by weight, or 0.0001 % by weight, or lower. The art describes methods for reducing the sulphur concentration of hydrocarbon distillate fuels, such methods including for example solvent extraction, sulphuric acid treatment, and hydrodesulphurisation.
By "tricyclic aromatic" is meant a fixed system where three aromatic rings are fused together. Preferably, the fuel contains less than 1 % by weight of such a component.
Examples of "polar components" are compounds such as those containing O, S or N; and esters; and alcohols.
The above-mentioned wear problem is found to become progressively more acute as the polar component concentration of the fuel is decreased; for example, it may be particularly severe at concentrations below 250 ppm, such as below 200 ppm and specifically in fuels having polar component concentrations of 170 ppm and 130 ppm respectively. Such polar component concentrations may conveniently be measured by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography, sometimes referred to as HPLC.
Middle distillate fuel oils to which this invention is applicable generally boil within the range of about 100*C to about 500* C, e.g. about 150°C to about 400° C. The fuel oil can comprise atmospheric distillate or vacuum distillate, or cracked gas oil or a blend in any proportion of straight run and thermally and/or catalytically cracked distillates. The most common petroleum distillates are kerosene, jet fuels, diesel fuels, heating oils and heavy fuel oils, diesel fuels being preferred in the practice of the present invention for the above-mentioned reasons. The heating oil may be a straight atmospheric distillate, or it may contain amounts, e.g. up to 35% by weight of vacuum gas oil or of cracked gas oils or of both.
The concentration of the additive of the invention in the fuel oil may be up to 250,000 ppm, for example up to 10,000 ppm such as 1 to below 1000 ppm (active ingredient) by weight per weight of fuel, preferably 10 to 500 ppm, more preferably 10 to 200 ppm.
The additive may be incorporated into bulk fuel oil by methods known in the art. Conveniently, the additive may be so incorporated in the form of a concentrate comprising an admixture of the additive and a liquid carrier medium compatible with the fuel oil, the additive being dispersed in the liquid medium. Such concentrates preferably contain from 3 to 75 wt%, more preferably 3 to 60 wt%, most preferably 10 to 50 wt% of the additive, preferably in solution in the oil. Examples of carrier liquid are organic solvents including hydrocarbon solvents, for example petroleum fractions such as naphtha, kerosene and heater oil; aromatic hydrocarbons; paraffinic hydrocarbons such as hexane and pentane; and alkoxyalkanols such as 2-butoxyethanol. The carrier liquid must of course be selected having regard to its compatibility with the additive and with the fuel.

Tests
Certain of Additives D and E were dissolved in certain of fuels I and II and the resulting composition tested using:
o the Ball On Cylinder Lubricant Evaluator (or BOCLE) test described in
Friction and wear devices, 2nd Ed., p. 280, American Society of Lubrication Engineers, Park Ridge III. USA; and F. Tao and J. Appledorn, ASLE trans.,
11 , 345-352 (1968); and
o the High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (or HFRR) test described in D. Wei and H. Spikes, Wear, Vol. 111, No. 2, p. 217, 1986; and R. Caprotti, C. Bovington, W. Fowler and M. Taylor SAE paper 922183; SAE fuels and lubes, meeting Oct. 1992; San Francisco, USA.
Both tests are known to provide a measure of the lubricity of a fuel. Results
The tables below give the results.
(A) BOCLE Test
The results are given as the wear scar diameter. A lower value therefore indicates less wear than a higher value. All tests were done at ambient temperature.
