Definitions

  • This invention concerns an improved gas engine lubricating oil composition; in particular, a gas engine lubricating oil composition exhibiting reduced deposit formation.
  • Gas engines which are also called gas-fuelled or gas-fired engines, are used to drive pumping stations of natural-gas pipelines, blowers and generators in, for example, purification plants and on gas tankers.
  • Gas engines may be two- or four-stroke, spark-ignited or compression-ignited.
  • Gas Otto engines ignite a mixture of gas and air using spark plugs.
  • Gas diesel engines use a continuous injection of a small amount, such as, for example, 5-10%, of diesel fuel.
  • Gas engines operate at high temperatures such as greater than 200°C in a piston environment. These high temperatures cause oxidation of the gas engine lubricating oil composition, which produces undesirable acids. These acids cause corrosion of the gas engine, in particular, corrosion of bearings in crankshaft journals and crankpins.
  • the gas engine lubricating oil composition should therefore preferably have either a low ash content such as, for example, below 0.6 wt% ash, or a medium ash content such as, for example, between 0.6 and 1.5 wt% ash, as determined by ASTM D874. If a lubricating oil composition has an ash level that is too low, it will shorten the working life of valves and cylinder heads. If, on the other hand, a lubricating oil composition has an ash level that is too high, excessive deposits will be produced in upper combustion chambers and upper piston areas.
  • a low ash content such as, for example, below 0.6 wt% ash
  • a medium ash content such as, for example, between 0.6 and 1.5 wt% ash
  • Gas engine lubricating oil compositions usually include a major amount of base oil of lubricating viscosity and the following additives: up to 10 wt% of detergents, 0.5 to 8 wt% of dispersants, 0.05 to 2.0 wt% of antioxidants, 0.01 to 0.2 wt% of metal deactivators, 0.05 to 1.5 wt% of anti-wear additives, 0.05 to 0.6 wt% of pour point depressants, 0.001 to 0.2 wt% of anti-foam agents and 0.1 to 3.0 wt% of viscosity index improvers.
  • additives up to 10 wt% of detergents, 0.5 to 8 wt% of dispersants, 0.05 to 2.0 wt% of antioxidants, 0.01 to 0.2 wt% of metal deactivators, 0.05 to 1.5 wt% of anti-wear additives, 0.05 to 0.6 wt% of pour point depressants, 0.001 to 0.2 wt% of anti-foam
  • EP1104800 discloses a lubricating oil composition for internal combustion engines comprising a major amount of a lubricating base oil, 0.1-1 wt.% with respect to sulfated ash content of a metal-containing detergent, 1.0-15 wt.% with respect to active ingredient of a boron-containing alkenyl- or alkylsuccinimide, 0.01-0.1 wt.% with respect to phosphorus content of a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate, 0.1-5 wt.% with respect to active ingredient of an oxidation inhibitor and 0.1-5 wt.% with respect to active ingredient of an ashless dithiocarbamate.
  • US6140282 discloses.a lubricating oil useful as a low ash gas engine oil.
  • the lubricant comprises a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor amount of additives comprising a mixture of detergents.
  • the detergents comprise three metal salts or a group of metal salts viz. first, second and third respectively selected from at least one metal salicylate, metal sulfonate and/or metal phenate.
  • the first metal salt or group of metal salts has a high TBN of greater than about 150 or higher used in combination with other metal salts to achieve a lubricating oil of sulfated ash content ( not more than 0.6 wt.%).
  • the second metal salt or group of metal salts has a medium TBN of greater than about 50-150 and the third metal salt or group of metal salts has a low/neutral TBN of about 10-50.
  • the total amount of medium+low/neutral TBN detergents is greater than 0.7 volume % and the amount of medium+low/neutral TBN detergent is about 0.05-1.05. At least one of the medium or low/neutral TBN detergents is metal salicylate.
  • the aim of this invention is to provide an improved gas engine lubricating oil composition.
  • a further aim of this invention is to provide a gas engine lubricating oil composition that exhibits reduced deposit formation.
  • a gas engine lubricating oil composition having a boron content of at least 95 ppm, the composition comprising:
  • the boron content in the gas engine lubricating oil composition preferably ranges from 95 to 400 ppm, more preferably from 100 to 400 ppm, more preferably from 100 to 200 ppm, and most preferably from 105 to 170 ppm.

Hydrocracked oils typically have a viscosity index typically in the range of from 100 to 110, for example from 105 to 108.
  • the oil may include 'brightstock' which refers to base oils that are solvent-extracted, de-asphalted products from vacuum residuum generally having a kinematic viscosity at 100°C of from 28 to 36 mm 2 s -1 and are typically used in a proportion of less than 30, preferably less than 20, more preferably less than 15, most preferably less than 10, such as less than 5, wt%, based on the weight of the composition.

  • the lubricating oil composition includes at least one metal salicylate having a TBN of 60 to 140, as measured by ASTM 2896-98.
  • a detergent is an additive that reduces formation of piston deposits, for example high-temperature varnish and lacquer deposits, in engines; it has acid-neutralising properties and is capable of keeping finely divided solids in suspension. It is based on metal "soaps", that is metal salts of acidic organic compounds, sometimes referred to as surfactants.

  • the polar head comprises a metal salt of a surfactant.
  • Large amounts of a metal base are included by reacting an excess of a metal compound, such as an oxide or hydroxide, with an acidic gas such as carbon dioxide to give an overbased detergent which comprises neutralised detergent as the outer layer of a metal base (e.g. carbonate) micelle.
  • the metal may be an alkali or alkaline earth metal such as, for example, sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, barium and magnesium. Calcium is preferred.
  • the detergent may be a complex/hybrid detergent prepared from a mixture of more than one metal surfactant, such as a calcium alkyl phenate and a calcium alkyl salicylate.
  • a complex detergent is a hybrid material in which the surfactant groups, for example phenate and salicylate, are incorporated during the overbasing process.
  • Examples of complex detergents are described in the art (see, for example, WO 97/46643, WO 97/46644, WO 97/46645, WO 97/46646 and WO 97/46647).
  • Surfactants for the surfactant system of the metal detergents contain at least one hydrocarbyl group, for example, as a substituent on an aromatic ring.
  • hydrocarbyl as used herein means that the group concerned is primarily composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms and is bonded to the remainder of the molecule via a carbon atom, but does not exclude the presence of other atoms or groups in a proportion insufficient to detract from the substantially hydrocarbon characteristics of the group.
  • hydrocarbyl groups in surfactants for use in accordance with the invention are aliphatic groups, preferably alkyl or alkylene groups, especially alkyl groups, which may be linear or branched.
  • the total number of carbon atoms in the surfactants should be at least sufficient to impact the desired oil-solubility.

  • At least one dispersant may be present in the gas engine lubricating oil composition.
  • a dispersant is an additive for a lubricating composition whose primary function is to hoid solid and liquid contaminants in suspension, thereby passivating them and reducing engine deposits at the same time as reducing sludge depositions.
  • a dispersant maintains in suspension oil-insoluble substances that result from oxidation during use of the lubricating oil, thus preventing sludge flocculation and precipitation or deposition on metal parts of the engine.
  • Ashless dispersants comprise a long chain hydrocarbon with a polar head, the polarity being derived from inclusion of, e.g. an O, P or N atom.
  • the hydrocarbon is an oleophilic group that confers oil-solubility, having for example 40 to 500 carbon atoms.
  • ashless dispersants may comprise an oil-soluble polymeric hydrocarbon backbone having functional groups that are capable of associating with particles to be dispersed.
  • ashless dispersants are succinimides, eg polyisobutene succinic anhydride: polyamine condensation products which may be borated or unborated.
  • the dispersant may be present in an amount ranging from 0.5 to 8.0 wt%, preferably from 0.5 to 4.0 wt%, based on the weight of the lubricating oil composition.

  • Zinc salts are preferred, preferably in the range of 0.1 to 1.5, preferably 0.5 to 1.3, wt%, based upon the total weight of the gas engine lubricating oil composition.
  • DDPA dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphoric acid
  • a dithiophosphoric acid may be made by reacting mixtures of primary and secondary alcohols.
  • multiple dithiophosphoric acids can be prepared comprising both hydrocarbyl groups that are entirely secondary and hydrocarbyl groups that are entirely primary.
  • any basic or neutral zinc compound may be used but the oxides, hydroxides and carbonates are most generally employed. Commercial additives frequently contain an excess of zinc due to use of an excess of the basic zinc compound in the neutralisation reaction.
  • the preferred zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates are oil-soluble salts of dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphoric acids and may be represented by the following formula: [(RO) (R 1 O) P(S)S] 2 Zn where R and R 1 may be the same or different hydrocarbyl radicals containing from 1 to 18, preferably 2 to 12, carbon atoms and including radicals such as alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, arylalkyl, alkaryl and cycloaliphatic radicals.

  • the base numbers (BN) were determined using ASTM 2896-98; and the ash contents were determined using ASTM D 874-00.
  • the gas engine lubricating oil compositions were subjected to the Panel Coker Test.
  • This test involves splashing a gas engine lubricating oil composition on to a heated test panel to see if the oil degrades and leaves any deposits that might affect engine performance.
  • the test uses a panel coker tester (model PK-S) supplied by Yoshida Kagaku Kikai Co, Osaka, Japan. The test starts by heating the gas engine lubricating oil composition to a temperature of 100oC through an oil bath.
  • a splasher splashes the gas engine lubricating oil composition on to the heated test panel in a discontinuous mode: the splasher splashes the oil for 15 seconds and then stops for 45 seconds.
  • the discontinuous splashing takes place over 1 hour, after which the test is stopped, everything is allowed to cool down, and then the aluminium test panel is weighed and rated visually.
  • the difference in weight of the aluminium test panel before and after the test, expressed in mg, is the weight of deposits.
  • the visual rating is made from 0 to 10, with 0 being for a completely black panel and 10 being for a completely clean panel.
  • Comparative Examples 5 and 6 were also prepared and compared to Examples 1 and 2. Comparative Examples 5 and 6 both included a calcium salicylate having a TBN of 168 rather than a calcium salicylate having a TBN of 64.
