Definitions

  • This invention relates to the use of oil-soluble or oil-dispersible metallic compounds for retarding soot related viscosity rate increases in lubricants for diesel engines.
  • Lubricants particularly lubricants for diesel engines used in low speed, high torque operations, suffer from a viscosity build-up over time. This viscosity build-up is manifested in that the lubricant within the diesel engine begins a gradual viscosity rise and that the rate of viscosity increase accelerates with time. Eventually, the viscosity increase becomes sufficiently high and the oil flow within the engine will be restricted.
  • a second factor is that the lubricant in the sump gradually thickens and becomes unavailable for lubrication. When the thickened lubricant does not pass the oil pump inlet, engine damage results.
  • the viscosity build-up thus can lead to unacceptable wear in the engine, particularly in a cold climate.
  • the main preventative technique for avoiding damage from excessive viscosity build-up is to drain a small amount of oil from the sump and to observe the viscosity of the lubricant. The problem then becomes the determination of the correct interval for checking the sump. As the rate of change in viscosity accelerates, the intervals for checking lubricant viscosity must become more closely spaced to ensure that engine damage does not occur.
  • Diesel lubricants containing alkali metal salts as additives to minimize undesirable viscosity increases in diesel engines are described in AU-P-591710.
  • the Ripple application further describes dispersants which are useful in diesel crankcase lubricants. Transition metal containing hydrocarbon soluble compositions containing ashless dispersants and phenolic anti-oxidants are disclosed in AU-A-578726.
  • United States Patent 4,529,408 issued July 16, 1985 to Yan suggests that coal combustion may be improved, ash corrosion modified, and fouling and ash slagging reduced by including a metal at a few parts per thousand with coal.
  • the materials suggested by Yan include a member selected from the group consisting of manganese dioxide, iron oxide, manganese nodules, sand and mixtures thereof.
  • waste oil contains in parts per million concentration various metals including tin, lead, copper, aluminum, iron, chromium, zinc, magnesium, nickel, barium, sodium, calcium, vandium, molybdenum, boron and manganese.
  • the waste oil according to Johnson, also may contain silicon, phosphorus and possibly silver.
  • Hotten in United States Patent 4,049,562, issued September 20, 1977 suggests that the anti-oxidant activity of an oil may be tested in the presence of a solution containing the naphthenates of copper, iron, manganese, lead and chromium. It is further stated by Hotten that this distribution of metals would be expected to be found in a used crankcase oil from a diesel engine.
  • compositions used in the present invention are particularly effective in diesel oils which are subject to rapid viscosity build-up.
  • an oil-soluble or oil-dispersible metallic compound wherein the metal is selected from manganese, titanium, cobalt and mixtures thereof, for retarding soot related viscosity rate increase of a lubricant in a diesel engine lubricating system prone to soot build-up, wherein the metallic compound is present as a metal at 30 ppm to 500 ppm of the lubricant.
  • This invention makes use of a composition comprising a polyvalent metal compound and a diesel lubricating oil.
  • the metallic compound includes both organic and inorganic forms of manganese, titanium, cobalt and mixtures thereof.
  • the metallic compound contains manganese or titanium.
  • the metallic phenates, salicylates, phosphonates, dithiocarbamates and naphthenates are also useful herein.
  • the naphthenates are a preferred species of the metallic compound.
  • Inorganic compounds include, for example, oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates.
  • Organic and inorganic metal compounds are useful in mixtures within the present invention.
  • the amount of metal employed should be sufficient to retard the viscosity rate increase between 100 and 150 hours in the Mack T-7 test.
  • the viscosity rate increase slope should then be less than 0.1, preferably less than 0.08 during the 100 to 150 hour interval.
  • Preferred organic compounds useful for the metallic components are conveniently salts of at least one organic acid. While mixtures of organic and inorganic metal components are useful, it is highly desired that an organic metallic compound be employed to assist in dispersing the metal compound in the lubricant.
  • Organic acids used to make the salts for the metallic compound include carboxylic acids, particularly those containing from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, e.g., the carboxylates, sulfonic acids, particularly those containing an aromatic ring structure (e.g., benzene ring) substituted with one or more alkyl groups of 4 to about 30 carbon atoms, e.g., a sulfonate, and phosphorus acids, containing within their structures one or more organic groups of 1 to about 30 or more carbon atoms.
  • the organic acid is a mixture of organic acids containing an average of at least 7 carbon atoms, conveniently about 4 to about 30, preferably 6 to 30 total carbon atoms per carboxyl group.
  • carboxylic, sulfonic and phosphorus acids are well known to the art.
  • the carboxylic acids can be mono-or polycarboxylic acids (if the latter, typically they are di- or tricarboxylic acids).
  • Monocarboxylic acids include C1 ⁇ 7 lower acids (acetic, proprionic, etc.) and higher C8+ acids (e.g., octanoic, decanoic, etc.) as well as the fatty acids of about 12-30 carbon atoms.
  • the neo acids such as neooctanoic and neodecanoic and the like are also useful.
  • the fatty acids are often mixtures of straight and branched chain acids containing, for example, from 5% to about 30% straight chain acids and about 70% to about 95% (mole) branched chain acids. Other commercially available fatty acid mixtures containing much higher proportions of straight chain acids are also useful. Mixtures produced from dimerization of unsaturated fatty acids can also be used.
  • Higher carboxylic acids include the well known dicarboxylic acids made by alkylating maleic anhydride or its derivatives. The products of such reactions are hydrocarbon substituted succinic acids, anhydrides, and the like. Lower molecular weight dicarboxylic acids, such as polymethylene bridged acids (glutaric, adipic, and the like), can also be used to make the salts of this invention as well as the lower molecular weight substituted succinic acids such as tetrapropenyl succinic acid and its analogs of to about C30 substituted acids.
  • Typical high molecular weight acids are those made by reacting a poly(isobutene) fraction having between 30 and 400 (usually 50-250) carbon atoms with maleic anhydride.
  • Such materials are described in U.S. Patents 3,172,892 issued to Le Suer et al on March 9, 1965, 3,219,666 issued to Norman et al on November 23, 1965, and 3,272,746 issued to Le Suer et al on September 13, 1966.
  • Other monocarboxylic acids of similar molecular weight can be made by alkylating acrylic acid and its analogs. Mixtures of such acids can also be used.
  • the useful metallic compounds of this invention can also be made from carboxylic acids and even acidic hydroxy compounds such as alkylated phenols. Such materials are disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,100,082 issued to Clason et al on July 11, 1978, particularly columns 15-17.
  • organic acids used to make the salts of this invention are carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids, or mixtures thereof, or compounds containing both functional groups.
  • the sulfonic acids used to form the metallic compound include the aliphatic sulfonic acids.
  • sulfonic acids are mahogany sulfonic acids; bright stock sulfonic acids; sulfonic acids derived from lubricating oil fraction having a Saybolt Viscosity from about 100 seconds at 37°C to about 200 seconds at 99°C; petrolatum sulfonic acids; mono- and polywax substituted sulfonic and polysulfonic acids of, e.g., benzene, naphthalene, phenol, diphenyl ether, naphthalene disulfide, diphenyl amine, thiophene, alpha-chloronaphthalene, etc., other substituted sulfonic acids such as alkyl benzene sulfonic acids (where the alkyl group has at least 8 carbons), cetylphenyl mono-sulfide sulfonic acids, dicet
  • the aliphatic sulfonic acids include paraffin wax sulfonic acids, unsaturated paraffin wax sulfonic acids, hydroxy-substituted paraffin wax sulfonic acids, hexapropylene sulfonic acids, tetra-amylene sulfonic acids, polyisobutene sulfonic acids wherein the polyisobutene contains from 20 to 7000 or more carbon atoms chloro-substituted paraffin wax sulfonic acids, nitro-paraffin wax sulfonic acids, etc., cycloaliphatic sulfonic acids such as petroleum naphthene sulfonic acids, cetyl cyclopentyl sulfonic acids, lauryl cyclohexyl sulfonic acids, bis-(di-isobutyl) cyclohexyl sulfonic acids, mono- or poly-wax substituted cyclohexyl s
  • the useful salts of this invention can be made from phosphorus acids.
