  • the diesel lubricants of the present invention are useful in the operation of diesel engines, and when the diesel lubricants of the present invention are so utilized, the diesel engines can be operated for longer periods of time without undergoing undesirable viscosity increases. Furthermore, the diesel lubricants of the present invention are capable of passing the Caterpillar l-G-2 and the Caterpillar l-H-2 test procedures.
  • the test operation consists of an initial break-in-period (after major rebuild only) a test oil flush, and 150 hours of steady state operation at 1200 rpm and 1080 ft/lb. of torque.
  • No oil changes or additions are made, although eight 4 oz. oil samples are taken periodically from the oil pan drain valve during the test for analysis. Sixteen ounces of oil are taken at the oil pan drain valve before each 4 oz. sample is taken to purge the drain line. This purge sample is then returned to the engine after sampling. No make-up oil is added to the engine to replace the 4 oz. samples.
  • the kinematic viscosity at 210°F is measured at 100 and 150 hours into the test, and the "viscosity slope" is calculated.
  • the "viscosity slope” is defined as the difference between the 100 and 150-hour viscosity divided by 50. It is desirable that the viscosity slope should be as small a number as possible, reflecting a minimum viscosity increase as the test progresses.
  • the kinematic viscosity at 210°F can be measured by two procedures. In both procedures, the sample is passed through a No. 200 sieve before it is loaded into the Cannon reverse flow viscometer. In the ASTM D-445 method, the viscometer is chosen to result in flow times equal to or greater than 200 seconds. In the method described in the Mack: T-7 specification, a Cannon 300 viscometer is used for all viscosity determinations. Flow times for the latter procedure are typically 50-100 seconds for fully formulated 15W-40 diesel lubricants.

Abstract

Lubrifiant diesel doté d'une capacité accrue de minimiser les augmentations indésirables de viscosité lors de leur utilisation dans les moteurs diesel. On décrit plus particulièrement un lubrifiant diesel comportant une quantité majeure d'huile de viscosité lubrifiante et une quantité mineure, suffisante pour minimiser les augmentations indésirables de viscosité du lubrifiant lorsqu'il est utilisé dans les moteurs diesel, d'une composition constituée (A) d'au moins une composition à dérivé carboxylique produit par la réaction d'au moins un agent acylant succinique substitué avec au moins un composé amino comportant au moins un groupe -NH-, où ledit agent acylant est constitué de groupes substituants et de groupes succiniques, où les groupes substituants sont dérivés de polyalkène caractérisé par une valeur Mn d'au moins 1200 et un rapport Mw/Mn d'au moins environ 1,5, et où lesdits agents acylants sont caractérisés par la présence dans leur structure d'au moins environ 1,3 groupes succiniques en moyenne pour chaque poids équivalent de groupes substituants, et (B) d'au moins un sel métallique alcalin de base d'au moins un composé organique acide possédant un rapport métallique d'au moins environ 2. Le lubrifiant diesel peut également contenir (C) au moins un sel de métal alcalino-terreux de base ou neutre soluble à l'eau d'au moins un composé acide. De préférence le sel métallique alcalin de base (B) contenu dans les lubrifiants diesel de l'invention est au moins un sel de sodium ou de potassium et de préférence un sel de sodium d'un acide sulfonique. Les lubrifiants diesel de l'invention peuvent facultativement contenir (C) au moins un sel de métal alcalino-terreux de base ou neutre d'une matière organique acide. L'invention concerne également des procédés de préparation des sels métalliques alcalins, surtout les sels de potassium, ainsi que des procédés pour l'utilisation de moteurs diesel qui comprennent également le graissage de tels moteurs pendant leur fonctionnement avec des lubrifiants diesel de
