Definitions

  • the present invention relates to new fuel compositions containing propoxylate and to novel additive concentrates.
  • Carburetors and intake systems of gasoline engines, but also injection systems for fuel metering in gasoline and diesel engines are increasingly contaminated.
  • the contamination is caused by dust particles from the air drawn in by the engine, unburned hydrocarbon residues from the combustion chamber and the ventilation gases from the crankshaft housing that are led into the carburetor.
  • Typical representatives of the second generation of additives are products based on polyisobutene in the non-polar part of the molecule, in particular additives of the polyisobutylamine type.
  • Such detergents, starting from polyisobutenes can be prepared by two different multistage synthesis processes: The first process is carried out by chlorinating the polymeric base body, followed by nucleophilic substitution of the polymeric base body. pers by amines or preferably ammonia. A disadvantage of this process is the use of chlorine, which has the consequence that products containing chlorine or chloride occur, which is no longer desirable today.
  • the polyisobutylamines are prepared starting from polyisobutene via hydroformylation and then reductive amination according to EP-A-0 244 616.
  • Detergent additives which can come from a variety of chemical substance classes, are generally used in combination with a carrier oil.
  • the carrier oils have an additional "washing function", often support and promote the effectiveness of the detergents and can help to reduce the amount of detergent required.
  • Certain detergents only work in combination with a carrier liquid. Viscous, high-boiling and in particular thermostable liquids are usually used as carrier oils. They coat the hot metal surface (eg the inlet valves) with a thin film of liquid and thereby prevent or delay to a certain extent the formation or deposition of decomposition products on the metal surfaces, but without being able to replace the detergent additive component .
  • Suitable carrier oils for fuels for internal combustion engines are e.g. B. high-boiling, refined mineral oil fractions, but also synthetic liquids.
  • Suitable mineral carrier oils are e.g. B. in the oil processing fractions.
  • suitable synthetic carrier oils are polyolefins, (poly) esters, (poly) alkoxylates, and in particular aliphatic polyethers, aliphatic polyetheramines, alkylphenol-started polyethers and alkylphenol-started polyetheramines.
  • Adducts of butylene oxide with alcohols have excellent solubility in fuels, but are comparatively expensive products and the starting material butylene oxide has to be produced in a relatively complex manner.
  • Inexpensive carrier oils can be made available in the form of adducts of propylene oxide with alcohols.
  • EP-A-0 704 519 describes propoxylates as a carrier oil component in combination with a high molecular weight amine and a hydrocarbon polymer.
  • EP-A-0 374 461 describes propoxylates of this type for use as carrier oil in combination with esters of mono- or polycarbonate acids and alcohols or polyols and detergents containing amino or amido groups.
  • EP-A-0 374 461 expressly teaches (see p. 4, lines 29ff.) That the sole use of the propoxylates described therein leads to an insufficient reduction of the inlet valve deposits, namely to values of 80 to 220 mg per valve.
  • the invention was therefore based on the object of providing novel fuel compositions for internal combustion engines with improved properties.
  • the new fuel compositions should lead to significantly reduced inlet valve deposits.
  • a fuel composition for fuel engines comprising a main amount of a liquid hydrocarbon fuel and a cleaning component, in particular reducing intake valve deposits, of at least one propoxylate additive of the formula I.
  • n stands for an integer value from 10 to 20 and
  • R 1 represents a straight-chain or branched Cs-Cis-alkyl or C 8 -Ci 8 -alkenyl radical, preferably Cs-Cis-alkyl.
  • the fuel compositions according to the invention have the surprising advantage that they reduce deposits in the area of the inlet valves significantly better than the corresponding shorter-chain or longer-chain propoxylates. This is particularly surprising because it has previously been assumed that compounds of the type used can only be used as carrier oils for fuel compositions, but carrier oils per se do not have a satisfactory cleaning effect on the intake system.
  • the propoxylates of the above formula I should be used in a proportion of about 50 to 5000 mg / kg fuel, preferably about 100 to 2500 mg / kg fuel, in particular about 300 to 1000 mg / kg fuel. be applied.

  • the production route is available by chlorination and subsequent amination or by oxidation of the double bond with air or ozone to form the carbonyl or carboxyl compound and subsequent amination under reductive (hydrogenating) conditions.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des compositions de carburant pour moteurs à combustion interne, comprenant un volume principal de carburant hydrocarbure liquide et une proportion à effet purifiant d'au moins un additif propoxilate de la formule (I) dans laquelle n vaut un nombre entier compris entre 10 et 20 et R<1> désigne un reste alkyle C8-C18 ou un reste alkényle C8-C18, à chaîne linéaire ou ramifiée; éventuellement en combinaison avec au moins un additif détergent, tel que par ex. un additif polyalkylamine de la formule (II) R<2>-NH2 dans laquelle R<2> désigne un reste polyalkyle à chaîne linéaire ou ramifiée dont le poids moléculaire moyen est compris entre approximativement 500 et approximativement 5.000. L'invention concerne en outre des compositions d'additifs de carburant qui contiennent des propoxilates de la formule (I) et éventuellement d'autres additifs, tels que les polyalkylamines précitées de la formule (II), comme purificateurs de soupape d'admission.
