Definitions

  • This invention relates to fuel oil compositions, processes for their preparation, and their use in compression-ignition engines.
  • sulphur-containing compounds in general are regarded as providing anti-wear properties and a result of the reduction in their proportions, together with the reduction in proportions of other components providing lubricity, has been an increase in reported failures of fuel pumps in diesel engines using low-sulphur fuels, the failure being caused by wear in, for example, cam plates, rollers, spindles and drive shafts.
  • a typical sulphur content in a diesel fuel is about 0.25% by weight (2500 ppmw).
  • maximum sulphur levels have been reduced to 0.05% (500 ppmw); in Sweden grades of fuel with levels below 0.005% (50 ppmw) (Class 2) and 0.001% (10 ppmw) (Class 1) are already being introduced.
  • low-sulphur fuels are those having a sulphur level below 0.05% by weight (500 ppmw).
  • the single example of the preparation of such a succinimide is based on polyisobutylene of molecular weight about 1000, the molar ratio of the alkenyl anhydride to the tetraethylene pentamine being 1:1, and the molar ratio of the succinic acid to the polyisobutylene being 1:1.
  • This product is evaluated in gasoline and in a high-sulphur diesel fuel having a sulphur content of 0.5% by wt. i.e. 5,000 ppmw.
  • EP-B-147 240 (Ethyl) describes a distillate fuel composition for indirect injection compression ignition engines containing in an amount sufficient to suppress and preferably to minimise coking in nozzles of indirect injection compression ignition engines operated on such fuel a combination of (a) organic nitrate ignition accelerator and (b) hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimide or succinamide, and optionally: (c) hydrocarbyl amine having from 3 to 60 carbons and from 1 to 10 nitrogens, or a combination of the hydrocarbyl amine (c) and (d) N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-diaminopropane.
  • the hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimide is preferably an olefin-polymer substituted succinimide wherein the olefin polymer substituent has an average molecular weight of 500-500,000, preferably being a polyisobutene substituent having an average molecular weight of 700-5,000.
  • the succinimide portion is preferably derived from a polyalkyleneamine of formula H 2 N-(R-NH) n -H wherein R is a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon having 2 to 4 carbon atoms and n is an integer from 1 to 10, including mixtures thereof, and the polyalkyleneamine is preferably a polyethyleneamine having 2 to 6 ethylene units.
  • the most preferred succinimide-succinamide component is the commercial product "HITEC E -644" (trade mark), which is used in the examples and is described as being "made by reacting two moles of a polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride with one mole of a polyethylene amine mixture having an average composition corresponding to tetraethylene pentamine" (Page 7, lines 4 to 6).
  • the base fuel used in the examples was a high-sulphur fuel (sulphur content of 0.41%w, i.e. 4,100 ppmw).
  • EP-A-482 253 (Ethyl) describes a fuel composition which comprises a liquid middle distillate hydrocarbonaceous fuel containing at least one fuel-soluble ashless dispersant in an amount of at least 50 ppm sufficient to cause a prompt reduction in emissions released upon combustion of said fuel composition.
  • the ashless dispersant is described as "a polyisobutenyl succinimide of tetraethylene pentamine in which the number average molecular weight of the polyisobutenyl group is about 950; used as a 75% solution in high aromatic solvent” (Page 10, lines 11 to 13), and the base fuel was a high-sulphur fuel (sulphur content of 0.125%w (Page 10, line 27), i.e.
  • EP-A-613 938 describes hydrocarbon fuel compositions comprising a hydrocarbon fuel and a hydrocarbyl succinic diamide derived from a secondary amine.
  • the hydrocarbon fuel may suitably comprise a hydrocarbon fraction boiling in the gasoline range or a hydrocarbon fraction boiling in the diesel range" (Page 5 lines 10 and 11). There is no discussion of sulphur content.
  • the engine tests in the examples are in an Open Kadett engine (clearly a spark-ignition engine) and as comparative examples there are used (1) a mono- succinimide derived from a polyisobutylene succinic anhydride of PIB Mn about 1000 and tetraethylene pentamine and (2) a bis-succinimide derived from the same polyisobutylene succinic anhydride and triethylene tetramine.
  • the mono-succinimide gave results which were significantly inferior to the bis-succinimide (deposits mg/valve of 229 compared with 40; valve rating of 8.0 compared with 9.70) (Page 9, Table 2).
  • EP-B-557 516 discloses fuel compositions comprising a major amount of hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline or diesel range and an effective detergent amount of an additive composition comprising:
  • US Patent 5,478,367 discloses diesel fuel compositions containing certain macrocyclic polyamines derived from reaction of polyisobutylene succinic anhydride with certain polyamines, for reduction of particulate emissions on combustion.
  • the diesel fuel used in the examples was a high-sulphur fuel (sulphur content of 0.23%w, i.e. 2,300 ppmw).
  • the macrocyclic polyamines were characterised by their IR spectra having four peaks between 1900 and 1500 wave numbers. This is contrasted with the IR spectra of uncyclised equivalents, which only have three peaks in this region (Column 9, lines 16 to 22).
  • WO 94 20593 discloses a low emission diesel fuel having a cetane number in the range of 50 to 60, which comprises:
  • WO 9623855 discusses in detail the lubricity problems of low-sulphur diesel fuels and discloses a fuel oil composition comprising a major amount of a fuel oil containing not more than 0.05% by weight of sulphur (i.e. 500 ppmw) and having a 95% distillation point of not greater than 350°C, and a minor amount of an additive composition comprising:
  • WO-A-96/23855 discloses that suitable acylated nitrogen compounds for use in the invention are disclosed in US-A-3 310 492. The latter exemplifies the preparation of acylated nitrogen compounds from polyalkenyl substituted succinic acid but does not disclose the molar ratio of the dicarboxylic acid moieties per polyalkenyl chain.
  • WO 95 33805 (Exxon) describes the use of cold flow improvers to enhance lubricity of low-sulphur fuels.
  • WO 94 17160 (Exxon) describes the use of certain esters of a carboxyclic acid and an alcohol wherein the acid has from 2 to 50 carbon atoms and the alcohol has one or more carbon atoms, particularly glycerol monooleate and di-isodecyl adipate, as additives for fuel oils for wear reduction in the injection system of a compression-ignition engine.
  • WO-A-98/01516 discloses that certain alkyl aromatic compounds having at least one carboxyl group attached to their aromatic nuclei can confer anti-wear lubricity effects when incorporated in fuel oil, especially low-sulphur diesel fuel.
  • the alkyl aromatic compounds are those wherein at least one alkyl group of 6 to 30 carbon atoms is attached to an aromatic nucleus and at least one carboxyl group and optionally one or two hydroxyl groups are attached to the aromatic nucleus.
  • Preferred alkyl aromatic compounds are alkyl benzoic acids or alkylsalicylic acids containing one or two alkyl groups, preferably of 6 to 30 carbon atoms, more preferably a C 8-20 alkyl group, advantageously a C 8-18 alkyl group.
