Definitions

  • the invention relates to an additive for liquid gas fuels for corrosion protection, aging protection, preventing the deposition of deposits on engine parts and keeping the exhaust gas clean from internal combustion engines operated with the liquid gas, in particular gas engines.
  • liquid mineral oil components such as the gasoline normally used
  • natural gas that are present to fall back on, in particular in the form of liquefied natural gas, hereinafter referred to as liquefied gas.
  • the normally available liquid gases contain mixtures of C7- and / or C8-alkanes, such as propane, butane or isobutane, which products in oil refineries as a by-product in the distillation and cracking of natural gas as well as in the processing of natural gas attack.
  • propane, butane and isobutane can be contained in any proportions in the liquid gas and, because they contain little or no sulfur-containing or nitrogen-containing constituents, only give water and carbon dioxide as combustion products.
  • an additive for liquid hydrocarbon fuels which contains an alcohol with no more than 4 carbon atoms, an aliphatic ester with no more than 6 carbon atoms, an aromatic hydrocarbon, a halogenated alkene Contains 3 or fewer carbon atoms in the alkene chain, an aliphatic hydrocarbon with a 50% boiling point between 115 ° and 182 ° C and a hydroxy-substituted, unsaturated acid with 16 to 24 carbon atoms.
  • This additive can be used especially for petrol and diesel ⁇ l to improve combustion efficiency and for clean combustion.
  • the liquid gas available from the refineries contains small amounts of unsaturated compounds which, as a result of polymerization and oxidation reactions, form resinous, lacquer-like and also acidic substances which are deposited in the entire liquid gas system and cause corrosion can.
  • these substance mixtures accumulate in the evaporator system of the liquid gas internal combustion engine and are solidified there due to the high temperatures and a sufficiently long dwell time, and are deposited in the form of solid, hard-to-remove deposits.
  • engine pollution from the aged liquefied petroleum gas increases in the area of the intake system, which also has an unfavorable influence on the exhaust gas composition with regard to hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
  • US-A-3 860 430 describes film-forming amine emulsions which contain an aliphatic film-forming amine and a tertiary amine containing polyoxyalkylene groups as the dispersant. These emulsions serve to form a protective coating against the corrosive attack of metal surfaces exposed to aqueous media.
  • the object of the present invention is now to provide an additive for liquid gas fuels with which these problems can be solved, that is to say the formation of resin-like or rubber-like precipitates during the storage of the liquid gas and the deposition of these products in the fuel lines, the evaporator system, the injectors and the valves can be prevented and the exhaust gas quality can be improved.
  • the additive contains 40 to 50% by volume of the nitrogenous solvent, 40 to 50% of the nitrogenous dispersant, 1 to 5% by volume of the nitrogenous corrosion inhibitor and 1 to 5% by volume .-% of the oxidation inhibitor.
  • the nitrogen-containing corrosion inhibitor c) and the oxidation inhibitor d) generally have higher boiling points, but are contained in such small amounts in the additive and in particular in the liquid gas that they are entrained by the liquid gas and likewise do not accumulate.
  • the additive according to the invention may also contain additional constituents, such as dyes, odor improvers and agents for inhibiting heavy metals, such as for example copper, in each case in amounts of 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the mixture of components a) to d).
  • additional constituents such as dyes, odor improvers and agents for inhibiting heavy metals, such as for example copper, in each case in amounts of 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the mixture of components a) to d).
  • the additive is either in the form of a mixture of the essential components or in the form of a solution in an alkanol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably with a content of 50 to 200% by volume of the alkanol, based on 100% by volume of the components a) to d), in particular in the form of a 1: 1 solution in methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol and / or butanol.
  • the additive according to the invention is added to the liquid gas in an amount of 25 to 1000 ppm, more preferably 50 to 400 ppm, calculated as a mixture of the components a) to d).
  • the additive according to the invention contains as nitrogen-containing solvent a) at least one compound selected from the formamide derivatives, thioformamide derivatives, N-alkyl-pyrrolidone derivatives with 1 or 2 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical, acetamide derivatives, sec. -N-alkanolamines and tert. -N-alkanolamines each having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and nitroparaffins having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.

  • the additive claimed contains, as nitrogenous dispersant b), morpholine, morpholine derivatives, thiomorpholine, thiomorpholine derivatives and cyclohexylamine.
  • nitrogenous dispersant b morpholine, morpholine derivatives, thiomorpholine, thiomorpholine derivatives and cyclohexylamine.
  • morpholine derivatives are N-methylmorpholine, N-ethylmorpholine, N-propylmorpholine, N-formylmorpholine, N-acetylmorpholine, N-propionylmorpholine, N-methylthiomorpholine, N-ethylthiomorpholine, N-formylthiomorpholine and N-acetylthiomoline.
  • More preferred nitrogen-containing solvents a) are dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide.
  • Morpholine is particularly preferred according to the invention.
  • the additive claimed contains primary, secondary and tertiary alkylamines with 6 to 14 carbon atoms in the alkyl groups and alkylenediamines with 3 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkylene radical.

  • the nitrogen-containing corrosion inhibitor c) prevents the corrosion of the surfaces coming into contact with the liquid gas by cation activity on the surfaces and by binding of oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture and by neutralization of acidic groups such as sulfate groups or reactive functional groups.
  • the oxidation inhibitor d) serves to suppress polycondensation and to polymerize the portions with double bond and multiple double bond present in the liquid gas.
