Definitions

  • This invention relates to additives for improving the lubricity of fuel oils such as diesel fuel oil.
  • Diesel fuel oil compositions including the additives exhibit improved lubricity and reduced engine wear.
  • Reducing the level of one or more of the sulphur, polynuclear aromatic or polar components of diesel fuel oil can reduce the ability of the oil to lubricate the injection system of the engine so that, for example, the fuel injection pump of the engine fails relatively early in the life of an engine. Failure may occur in fuel injection systems such as high pressure rotary distributors, in-line pumps and injectors.
  • the problem of poor lubricity in diesel fuel oils is likely to be exacerbated by the future engine developments aimed at further reducing emissions, which will have more exacting lubricity requirements than present engines. For example, the advent of high pressure unit injectors is anticipated to increase the fuel oil lubricity requirement.
  • Lubricity additives for fuel oils have been described in the art.
  • WO 94/17160 describes an additive which comprises an ester of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol wherein the acid has from 2 to 50 carbon atoms and the alcohol has one or more carbon atoms.
  • Glycerol monooleate is specifically disclosed as an example. Although general mixtures are contemplated, no specific mixtures of esters are disclosed.
  • US-A-3,273,981 discloses a lubricity additive being a mixture of A+B wherein A is a polybasic acid, or a polybasic acid ester made by reacting the acid with C 1 -C 5 monohydric alcohols; while B is a partial ester of a polyhydric alcohol and a fatty acid, for example glyceryl monooleate, sorbitan monooleate or pentaerythritol monooleate.

  • GB-A-1,505,302 is, however, concemed with overcoming the operational disadvantages of corrosion and wear by acidic combustion products, residues in the combustion chamber and in the exhaust system.
