Abstract

The present invention provides a lubricating composition comprising a base oil and one or more additives, wherein the composition has: - a sulphated ash content (according to ASTM D 874) of at least 0.1 wt.% and at most 0.60 wt.%, preferably at most 0.55 wt.%, more preferably at most 0.50 wt.%; and - a total base number (TBN) value (according to ASTM D 2896) of at least 8.0 mg KOH/g and at most 15.0 mg KOH/g.

Description

LUBRICATING COMPOSITION
The present invention relates to a lubricating composition, in particular for use as a gas engine oil.
In power generation, gas engines operate continuously near full load conditions, shutting down only for maintenance and/or change of lubricant. As a result, the lubricant in use is exposed to a sustained high temperature environment. This high temperature environment may cause relatively severe lubricant oxidation and nitration processes, which lead to base number depletion, increased viscosity and reduced engine cleanliness with a consequential increase in fuel consumption.
Moreover, gas engines fuelled with non-natural gas (such as sour gas) present additional challenges for the lubricant to neutralise acidic combustion products in the lubricant or other acidic compounds already present in the fuel.
In commercial available low ash gas engine oil products typically sulphated ash values of about 0.5 wt.% and TBN (Total Base Number) values of at maximum about 7 mg KOH/g are used. Examples of such commercial available products are Mobil Pegasus 605 and Mobil Pegasus 1005, which are available from Exxon Mobil Corporation.
According to the Technical Data Sheets thereof, Mobil Pegasus 605 (version 01-2006) contains a sulphated ash content (according to ASTM D 874) of 0.52 and a TBN value (according to ASTM D 2896) of 4.9, and Mobil Pegasus 1005 contains a sulphated ash content of 0.5 and a TBN value of 5. It is an object of the present invention to improve the oxidation and nitration stability and base number retention of lubricating compositions, especially for use in gas engine oils.
It is another object of the present invention to provide alternative lubricating compositions for use in a gas engine.
One or more of the above or other objects can be obtained by the present invention by providing a lubricating composition comprising a base oil and one or more additives, wherein the composition has: - a sulphated ash content (according to ASTM D 874) of at least 0.1 wt.% and at most 0.60 wt.%, preferably at most 0.55 wt.%, more preferably at most 0.50 wt.%; and a total base number (TBN) value (according to ASTM D 2896) of at least 8.0 mg KOH/g and at most 15.0 mg KOH/g. In this respect it is noted that although
WO 2007/117776 discloses a lubricating composition containing less than 1.0 wt.% sulphated ash and a total base number of at least about 8.5 mg KOH/g, (and although paragraph [0032] of WO 2007/117776 indicates that the total ash content in certain embodiments may be 0.1-0.7 wt.%) in the Examples of WO 2007/117776 no actual suggestion or teaching has been made of formulations containing at most 0.60 wt.% sulphated ash and at the same time a TBN value of at least 8.0 mg KOH/g. Also, as can be learned from paragraph [0003] thereof, WO 2007/117776 suggests to add certain selected nitrogen-containing dispersants to boost the TBN value. However, it has been found that this results in a weak TBN retention when compared to the use of detergents. On the website of http: /atlantis- usa. coπi/indexl/index. htm a disclosure was made of an ashless gas engine oil having a sulphated ash content of 0.02 wt.% and a Total Base Number value of 13. However, there is no proof that this information was available before 12.08.2009, i.e. after the priority date of this application.
It has now surprisingly been found according to the present invention that the lubricating compositions according to the present invention may exhibit improved oxidation stability, base number retention and oxidation nitration stability. This results in longer ODIs (oil drain intervals), which is highly desirable in view of less downtime and lower maintenance costs of the gas engine. Also, the lubricating compositions according to the present invention may exhibit desirable seal compatibility properties.
The sulphated ash content of the lubricating composition according to the present invention is above 0.1 wt.%. However, preferably the sulphated ash content is above 0.3 wt.%, more preferably above 0.4 wt.%, even more preferably above 0.45 wt.%.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the base number value is at least 8.5 mg KOH/g, preferably at least 9.0 mg KOH/g. Typically, the base number is below 15.0 mg KOH/g, preferably below
12.0 mg KOH/g, preferably below 10.0 mg KOH/g.
Further it is preferred that the composition has a calcium content (according to ASTM D 4951) of at most 0.15 wt.%. Typically the calcium content is above
0.05 wt.%, more preferably above 0.08 wt.%, even more preferably above 0.10 wt.%.
According to an especially preferred embodiment according to the present invention, the lubricating composition comprises a detergent being the reaction product of an acidic organic compound, a boron compound, and a basic organic compound. In this respect specific reference is made to US 2005/0172543 and in particular paragraphs [0025] - [0077] thereof, the teaching of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Preferably, the above detergent has a molecular weight of below 650. Preferably, the above detergent is present in an amount of from 0.5 to 4.0 wt.%, preferably from 1.0 to 3.0 wt.% based on the weight of the total lubricating composition. It is even more preferred that the detergent has the general formula (I) below
wherein a is l or Z; and wherein K" and K" are independently selected hydrocarbyl groups, provided that, where a is 2, the groups R1 and R2 are independently selected.
The above hydrocarbyl group, which is preferably an alkyl group, may contain from 1 to 50 carbon atoms, preferably from. 12 to 30 carbon atoms, most preferably 14 to 18 carbon atoms. Further it is preferred according to the present invention that the lubricating composition has a P- content (according to DIN 51363 T2) of at most 0.04 wt.%. Typically the P~content is above 0.01 wt.%.
Suitably, the lubricating composition according to the present invention has a boron content of above 100 ppm (according to ASTM D 4951) , preferably above 200 ppm; furthermore, the boron content is typically below 600 ppm, more preferably below 500 ppm.
Also it is preferred that at least 50% of the TBN of the composition is provided by non-metal containing additives (preferably detergents) , preferably at least 55%, more preferably at least 60%, even more preferably at least 65%, most preferably at least 70%. According to the present invention, the contribution of TBN by a non- metal containing additive is calculated from the TBN measured for the single additive concentrate, multiplied by the percentage added to the lubricant composition and divided by the the total TBN of the finished lubricant composition. The at least one non-metal containing additive may also be referred to as an ashless additive, since it will typically not produce any sulfated ash when subjected to the conditions of ASTM D 874. An additive is referred to as "non-metal containing" if it does not contribute metal content to the lubricant composition. It is recognized, of course, that a non-metal containing additive will normally eventually be mixed with other material in a lubricating composition and certain of the other materials may be metal containing. If this happens, some of the metal ions from the other material may become associated with the non-metal containing material. However, such in-situ association is not intended to negate the identity of the additive in question as a non- metal containing additive. Thus, the additive is, more strictly speaking, non-metal containing prior to mixing with other components. As indicated above, in a preferred embodiment, at least 50% of the TBN of the composition is provided by non-metal containing detergents.

This is a clear indication of desirable oxidation stability and base number retention properties for the compositions according to the present invention.
Further, it was found (see Table 2} that the compositions of Examples 1-3 outperformed Comparative Example 1 in terms of pH level; typically values below 4 indicate oxidation .
When compared with Comparative Example 3 (containing a sulphated ash content of below 0.1 wt.%, viz. 0.02 wt. %) the compositions of Examples 1-3 showed significantly improved TAN control and base number retention.
Further it can be learned from Table 2 that the composition of Examples 1-3 outperformed Comparative Examples 1 and 3 in terms of final pH.
