Description
LONG LIFE LUBRICATING OIL COMPOSITION
USING PARTICULAR ANTIOXIDANT COMPONENTS
Field of Invention [0001] The present invention relates to gas engine oils. More particularly the present invention relates to gas engine oils that provide enhanced resistance to oxidation, nitration and viscosity increase.
Background of Invention [0002] Typical natural gas fired engines such as those used in the petroleum industry to compress natural gas at well heads and along pipelines have up to cylinders, often generating between 500 to 3000 HP. These engines normally are run continuously near full load conditions with shut downs being primarily for maintenance such as for oil changes. Such continuous operation near full load, of course, places severe demands on the engine lubricant. Indeed, because the lubricant is subjected to a high temperature environment, oxidation processes can occur rapidly which limit lubricant life. Also, natural gas engines emit nitrogen oxides (NOX), some of which come into contact with the lubricant resulting in nitration processes also limiting lubricant life. Typically these processes are accompanied by increases in oil viscosity.

Background of Invention [0002] Typical natural gas fired engines such as those used in the petroleum industry to compress natural gas at well heads and along pipelines have up to cylinders, often generating between 500 to 3000 HP. These engines normally are run continuously near full load conditions with shut downs being primarily for maintenance such as for oil changes. Such continuous operation near full load, of course, places severe demands on the engine lubricant. Indeed, because the lubricant is subjected to a high temperature environment, oxidation processes can occur rapidly which limit lubricant life. Also, natural gas engines emit nitrogen oxides (NOX), some of which come into contact with the lubricant resulting in nitration processes also limiting lubricant life. Typically these processes are accompanied by increases in oil viscosity.
[0003] Thus, it is desirable to extend the life of gas engine oils by enhancing the oil's resistance to oxidation and nitration and to reduce viscosity increases in the oil.
[0004] To extend lubricant life, base oils are formulated with various additives such as dispersants, detergents, antioxidants, viscosity index improvers and the like to provide a lubricating oil composition. This art of lubricating oil formulation, however, has become increasingly more complex with ever more stringent requirements by end-users. Indeed, experience has shown that incorporation of one type of additive in a lubricant composition can have a negative impact on the function of another type of additive. Consequently, extensive research continues in the quest for lubricants of improved life and function.
[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a gas engine lubricating composition that has enhanced resistance to oxidation and nitration.
[0006] ~ Another object of the invention is to provide a gas engine lubricating composition that has improved life as evidenced by reduction in viscosity increase.
Summary of Invention [0007] Accordingly, a natural gas engine lubricant composition having enhanced resistance to oxidation, nitration and viscosity increase comprises:
(a) a major amount of an oil basestock of lubricating viscosity having a kinematic viscosity at 100°C of about 5 to 16 cSt and preferably about 10 to about 13 cSt;
(b) a minor amount of a detergent mixture comprising low/neutral TBN and over based metallic detergents, selected from the group consisting of alkali and alkaline earth sulphonates, phenates, and salicylates;
(c) a minor amount of an antioxidant comprising an alkylthiocarbamoyl compound or a mixture of an alkylthiocarbamoyl compound and an ashless, non-sulfur containing hindered phenol; and, (d) a zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate in an amount sufficient to provide the lubricant composition with from 250 to 450 wppm of phosphorus.
