Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new composition of multifunctional additives improving the cold operability of middle distillates, especially in during slow cooling processes during storage fuels and fuels at low temperatures. It aims in particular to improve the anti-sedimentation properties for application in fuels for Diesel engines and in fuels such as fuel oils domestic for boilers.
  • Cold operability corresponds to a temperature limit at which middle distillates can be used without clogging problem. She is intermediate between cloud point temperature (ASTM D 2500-66) characteristic of the onset of crystallization of paraffins in the distillate and the pour point of the latter (ASTM D 97-66).
  • paraffins are crystallized at bottom of the tank, they can be dragged starting in the engine and clogging in particular the filters and prefilters arranged upstream of the injection systems (pump and injectors).
  • paraffins precipitate at the bottom of the tank and may be entrained and obstruct upstream pipes pump and boiler supply system (nozzle and filter). It is obvious that the presence of solids, such as paraffin crystals, prevents the normal circulation of the middle distillate.
  • TLF additives Temporal Limit of Filterability
  • the present invention relates to a composition multifunctional additives for lowering and maintain the cold operability temperature of middle distillates, so that during a stage of slow cooling during storage in a closed enclosure, up to temperatures above -20 ° C, we do not observe no sedimentation of the paraffins contained in the middle distillates.
  • the composition of additives is obtained by combining 50 to 80% AB and 20 to 50% by weight of the CD reaction product.
  • the composition of additives comprises from 50 to 80% by weight of a combination AB, CD in an AB / CD molar ratio varying from 0.2 to 4, and from 20 to 50% by weight of a mixture of AD, CB in a ratio AD / CB molar varying from 0.2 to 4.
  • the carboxylic compound (A) is preferably chosen in the group comprising dodecylmaleic anhydrides, dodecenylmaleic, hexadecylmaleic, hexadecenylmaleic octadecylmaleic, octadecenylmaleic, eicosylmaleic and éicosénylmaléique.
  • the polyalkyleneamine (B) is preferably chosen in the group comprising diethylenetriamine, dipropylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, tripropylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine and tetrapropylene.
  • the copolymer (C) is preferably a copolymer containing 45 to 65 mol% of at least one acid unit carboxylic and from 55 to 35 mol% of at least one ester unit alkylated.
  • the carboxylic acid units are chosen preferably among the units resulting from acids acrylic and methacrylic, and alkyl ester patterns among the patterns resulting from acrylic esters and methacrylics, and their derivatives.
  • the copolymer (C) is chosen from acrylic acid / methacrylic ester copolymers and methacrylic acid / acrylic ester copolymers containing 45 to 65 mole% of acid units and 55 to 35 mole% of ester patterns.
  • the N-alkylpolyalkylenepolyamine (D) is preference chosen from the group comprising N-alkylethylenediamines, N-alkylpropylenediamines, N-alkylbutylenediamines, N-alkyldiethylenetriamines, N-alkyldipropylenetriamines, N-alkyldibutylenetriamines, N-alkyltriethylenetetramines, N-alkyltripropylenetetramines and N-alkyltributylenetetramines having a alkyl radical comprising from 12 to 22 carbon atoms.
  • D is chosen from N-dodecyldipropylenetriamine, N-octadecyldipropylene triamine, N-octadecyldiethylenetriamine and N-docosyldiethylenetriamine.
  • a second object of the invention is a fuel containing a major part of middle distillate containing usually a filterability additive, and some minor, for example 50 to 1000 ppm of a composition Multifunctional cold operability additives for slow cooling.
  • This example presents the two methods of cooling implemented as well as the composition of diesel and additives tested.
  • the quench cooling method described in standard NFT M07-085, consists in pouring a sample of distillate in a graduated cylinder in volume and place for 24 hours in a refrigerated cabinet at one temperature generally set between -13 and -20 ° C, i.e. a temperature at least 1 ° C lower than its temperature cloud point, and at least 6 ° C higher than its pour point temperature.
  • the anti-sedimentation function of the additive compositions is therefore effective. If the upper phase is clear and a cloudy compaction appears at the bottom of the test tube, the sedimentation is important and the composition of additives ineffective in anti-sedimentation.
  • the slow cooling method is to introduce the sample of diesel fuel with or without additives into a cylinder graduated in volume, to place in a cabinet refrigerated at a temperature 10 ° C higher than the cloud point temperature of said diesel.
  • the sample is gradually cooled from this temperature from 1 to 3 ° C / hour, up to a final test temperature that can reach -15 to -20 ° C. Once the final temperature reached, the sample is kept for 24 hours at this temperature, then we do the visual rating already mentioned for the rapid quenching method, as well as the samples from the top and bottom of the test piece to determine the temperatures Tcc and TLF of these different phases. Interpretation of the results is identical to the rapid quenching method.
  • This example aims to show the difference between the quench cooling method and the method by slow cooling to 1 ° C per hour and therefore the interest to select additives reproducing the phenomenon of actual cooling of a stopped car tank and therefore the diesel cooling process.
  • composition of multifunctional additives is all the more effective the smaller the sum of the six differences on the three diesel fuels.
