Asphaltenes can enter the engine lubricant as contaminants either via the cylinder or the fuel pumps and injectors, and asphaltene precipitation can then occur, manifested in ‘black paint’ or ‘black sludge’ in the engine.
  • asphaltenes can enter the engine lubricant as contaminants either via the cylinder or the fuel pumps and injectors, and asphaltene precipitation can then occur, manifested in ‘black paint’ or ‘black sludge’ in the engine.

  • Trunk Piston Marine Engine Lubricating Oils TPEO's
  • Test trunk piston marine engine lubricating oils were evaluated for asphaltene dispersancy using light scattering according to the Focused Beam Reflectance Method (“FBRM”), which predicts asphaltene agglomeration and hence ‘black sludge’ formation.
  • FBRM Focused Beam Reflectance Method
  • the FBRM test method was disclosed at the 7 th International Symposium on Marine Engineering, Tokyo, 24 th -28 th Oct. 2005, and was published in “The Benefits of Salicylate Detergents in TPEO Applications with a Variety of Base Stocks” in the Conference Proceedings. Further details were disclosed at the CIMAC Congress, Vienna, 21 St -24 May 2007 and published in “Meeting the Challenge of New Base Fluids for the Lubrication of Medium Speed Marine Engines—An Additive Approach” in the Congress Proceedings.
  • the FBRM probe contains fibre optic cables through which laser light travels to reach the probe tip. At the tip, an optic focuses the laser light to a small spot. The optic is rotated so that the focussed beam scans a circular path between the window of the probe and the sample. As particles flow past the window, they intersect the scanning path giving backscattered light from the individual particles.
  • the scanning laser beam travels much faster than the particles; this means that the particles are effectively stationary. As the focussed beam reaches one edge of the particle, the amount of backscattered light increases; the amount will decrease when the focussed beam reaches the other edge of the particle.
  • the instrument measures the time of the increased backscatter.
  • the time period of backscatter from one particle is multiplied by the scan speed and the result is a distance or chord length.
  • a chord length is a straight line between any two points on the edge of a particle. This is represented as a chord length distribution, a graph of numbers of chord lengths (particles) measured as a function of the chord length dimensions in microns.
  • FBRM typically measures tens of thousands of chords per second, resulting in a robust number-by-chord length distribution. The method gives an absolute measure of the particle size distribution of the asphaltene particles.
  • the Focused beam Reflectance Probe (FBRM), model Lasentec D600L, was supplied by Mettler Toledo, Leicester, UK. The instrument was used in a configuration to give a particle size resolution of 1 ⁇ m to 1 mm. Data from FBRM can be presented in several ways. Studies have suggested that the average counts per second can be used as a quantitative determination of asphaltene dispersancy. This value is a function of both the average size and level of agglomerate. In this application, the average count rate (over the entire size range) was monitored using a measurement time of 1 second per sample.
  • test TPEO's were heated to 60° C. and stirred at 400 rpm; when the temperature reached 60° C. the FBRM probe was inserted into the sample and measurements made for 15 minutes.
  • An aliquot of heavy fuel oil (10% w/w) was introduced into the TPEO under stirring using a four-blade stirrer (at 400 rpm). A value for the average counts per second was taken when the count rate had reached an equilibrium value (typically overnight).
  • Each TPEO tested had a BN of 40, contained 1.23 mass % (in terms of calcium) of calcium salicylate of BI 8.0 and 0.24 mass % (in terms of calcium) of calcium salicylate of BI 3.0, and contained the same amount of Zn and of silicone antifoam.
  • Each TPEO tested had a BN of 40, contained 0.75 mass % (in terms of calcium) of calcium salicylate of BI 8.0 and 0.68 mass % (in terms of calcium) of calcium salicylate of BI 3.0, and contained the same amount of Zn.
  • Example 14 shows the applicability of the invention to a Group III base oil eyond that of Ref 6 (a Group I oil) and Example 15 shows the applicability of the invention to esters other than Priolube 3970.
  • Each TPEO treated had a BN of 30, contained 0.56 mass % (in terms of calcium) of calcium salicylate of BI 8.0 and 0.51 mass % (in terms of calcium) of calcium salicylate of BI 3.0, and contained the same amount of Zn.
