Definitions

• the present invention relates to turbine and rust and oxidation (R&O) oils (hereinafter “turbine oils”) having improved wet filterability without detriment to hydrolytic stability.
• turbine oils turbine and rust and oxidation oils
• Steam and gas turbine oils are top-quality rust- and oxidation-inhibited oils.
• Steam turbines employ steam that enters the turbine at high temperature and pressure and expands across both rotating and fixed blades. Only the highest-quality lubricants are able to withstand the wet conditions, high temperatures and long periods of service associated with steam turbine operation. In gas turbines, they must withstand contact with very hot surfaces, often with intermittent operation and periods of nonuse. Therefore, to be effective, both types of oil must have, in addition to good corrosion protection and demulsibility, outstanding resistance to oxidation, which includes a minimum tendency to form deposits in critical areas of the system.
• a finished turbine oil will contain only the base oil, antioxidants, rust inhibitors, demulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors and diluents, if necessary.
• Prior art turbine oils contain acidic rust inhibitors.
• acidic rust inhibitors of the type taught in U.S. Patent No. 4,101,429, have been used in turbine oils.
• turbine oils containing acidic rust inhibitors exhibit satisfactory rust performance, they tend to interact with, for example, water and metal detergents present as contaminants producing particulates, precipitates and/or sludge.
• Acidic rust inhibitors thus create problems with deposit formation and filterability upon exposure to contaminants such as water and/or metal detergents. The resulting filterability problems and deposit formation are expensive and highly undesirable.
• the present invention provides a composition suitable for use as a turbine or rust and oxidation (R & O) oil comprising a major portion of a base oil and (A) at least one neutral rust inhibitor, wherein the base oil has a viscosity index of greater than 80, a saturates content of greater than 90 wt% and a sulfur content of 0.5 wt% or less.
• R & O turbine or rust and oxidation
• neutral rust inhibitors in the present specification, means rust inhibitors that are essentially free of a -COOH functional group.
• major portion means that the composition contains at least 50% by weight base oil.
• a combination of neutral rust inhibitor(s) and a compound (B) of formula: in which Z is a group R 1 R 2 CH-, in which R 1 and R 2 are each independently hydrocarbon groups containing from 1 to 34 carbon atoms, the total number of carbon atoms in the groups R 1 and R 2 being from 11 to 35, are added to the base oil in order to provide a turbine oil which ensures good rust performance, good wet filterability and good performance in thermal stability tests where water and/or metal detergents are present, e.g. the ASTM D 2619 and ASTM D 4310 tests.
• hydrocarbyl groups and moieties may be straight- or branched-chain.
• turbine oils are produced which are substantially free of acidic rust inhibitors and/or metal detergents.
• substantially free means that no acidic rust inhibitors or metal detergents are purposefully added to the finished oil although there may be some present due to contamination or as an impurity.
• the at least one neutral rust inhibitor is a hydrocarbyl ester of formula R (COOR') n , in which R and R' are each independently hydrocarbyl groups, or hydroxyhydrocarbyl groups, containing upto about 40 carbon atoms, preferably 8 to 20 carbon atoms, and n is from 1 to about 4.
• R and R' are each independently hydrocarbyl groups, or hydroxyhydrocarbyl groups, containing upto about 40 carbon atoms, preferably 8 to 20 carbon atoms, and n is from 1 to about 4.
• the maximum number of groups COOR' which are present on the hydrocarbyl or hydroxyhydrocarbyl group R will vary depending on the number of carbon atoms in R. For example, if R is a hydrocarbyl group containing only one carbon atom, the maximum possible value of n will be 4. When R is a hydroxyhydrocarbyl group containing one carbon atom the maximum value of n will be 3.
• the hydrocarbyl esters can be prepared by conventional esterification procedures from a suitable alcohol and an acid, acid halide, acid anhydride or mixtures thereof.
• the esters of the invention can be prepared by conventional methods of transesterification.
• essentially free it is meant that the starting acids, acid halides, acid anhydrides or mixtures thereof used in preparing the neutral rust inhibitors are reacted with an amount of alcohol sufficient to theoretically convert all of the -COOH groups to esters.
• the neutral rust inhibitor will have a TAN of less than 10mgKOH/g.
• Preferred esters include, but are not limited to, octyloleyl malate, dioleylmalate, pentaerythritol monooleate and glycerol monooleate.
• Another class of preferred neutral rust inhibitors includes aspartic acid diesters of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-heptadecenyl imidazoline.
• This imidazoline is primarily a mixture of diester of L-aspartic acid and an imidazoline based on the reaction between oleic acid and aminoethanolamine.
• Esters of this type are commercially available from Mona Industries, Inc. as Monacor® 39.
• the radical Z may be, for example, 1-methylpentadecyl, 1-propyltridecenyl, 1-pentyltridecenyl, 1-tridecenylpentadecenyl or 1-tetradecyleicosenyl.
• the number of carbon atoms in the groups R 1 and R 2 is from 16 to 28 and more commonly 18 to 24. It is especially preferred that the total number of carbon atoms in R 1 and R 2 is about 20 to 22.
