Description

LUBRICATING COMPOSITION
The present invention relates to a lubricating composition, in particular to lubricating compositions for use in internal combustion engines operated under sustained high load conditions, such as marine diesel engines and power applications. More particularly, the present invention relates to a marine cylinder oil.
Marine cylinder oils are known in the art. As an example, WO 2008/043901 A2 discloses a cylinder lubricant for a two-stroke marine engine, having a Base Number (according to ASTM D 2986) of at least 40 mg KOH/g, and containing form 0.01 to 1.0 wt . % of a primary, secondary or tertiary mono-alcohol having at least 12 carbon atoms.
Lubricating compositions for use in internal
combustion engines are subject to high levels of stress. It is important that the lubricating oil provides good lubrication properties under a variety of conditions, and amongst other properties, provides good wear, corrosion protection, help to keep the engine clean, be thermally and oxidatively stable and carry heat away from the engine.
Lubricating compositions used in marine diesel engines are subject to particularly high levels of stress due to the fact that marine engines are usually run continuously at near full load conditions for long periods of time.
It will be appreciated in the art that the term "marine" does not restrict such engines to those used in water-borne vessels. That is to say, in addition said term also includes engines used for power generation applications. These highly rated, fuel efficient, slow- and medium-speed marine and stationary diesel engines operate at high pressures, high temperatures and long- strokes .
It is an object of the present invention to improve the corrosive wear protection and BN retention properties of a lubricating composition, especially for use in an internal combustion engine such as a marine diesel engine .
It is another object of the present invention to provide alternative lubricating compositions for use in an internal combustion 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;
- a detergent; and
an amine compound having the following general formula ( I ) :
F^NHR2 (I)
wherein R1 represents a hydrocarbyl group containing 1 to 50 carbon atoms and R2 is selected from the group
consisting of a hydrogen atom (H) and a hydrocarbyl group containing 1 to 50 carbon atoms;
wherein the amine compound is present at a level of greater than 0.3wt%, by weight of the lubricating
composition.
In this respect it is noted that WO 2008/095966 discloses an industrial oil composition, such as a hydraulic fluid, comprising a base oil, an aspartic acid derivative and an aliphatic amine compound. As indicated on page 12, line 9, the composition may include a
detergent-dispersant . Apart from the fact that no actual examples containing a detergent are disclosed in WO
2008/095966, it is to be noted that industrial oil compositions (typically not containing a large amount of detergent) differ substantially from the engine oils according to the present invention. As an example, the lubricating composition according to the present
invention does preferably not contain an aspartic acid derivative .
It has now surprisingly been found according to the present invention that the lubricating compositions according to the present invention exhibit improved corrosive wear protection and/or BN retention and/or BN usage properties.
There are no particular limitations regarding the base oil used in lubricating composition according to the present invention, and various conventional mineral oils, synthetic oils as well as naturally derived esters such as vegetable oils may be conveniently used.
The base oil used in the present invention may conveniently comprise mixtures of one or more mineral oils and/or one or more synthetic oils; thus, according to the present invention, the term "base oil" may refer to a mixture containing more than one base oil. Mineral oils include liquid petroleum oils and solvent-treated or acid-treated mineral lubricating oil of the paraffinic, naphthenic, or mixed paraffinic/naphthenic type which may be further refined by hydrofinishing processes and/or dewaxing .
Suitable base oils for use in the lubricating oil composition of the present invention are Group I-III mineral base oils, Group IV poly-alpha olefins (PAOs), Group I-III Fischer-Tropsch derived base oils and

Corrosive Wear Test
In order to demonstrate the corrosive wear
protection properties of the present invention,
measurements were performed with a corrosive procedure based on the standard ASTM G181 test ("Standard practice for conducting friction tests of piston ring and cylinder liner materials under lubricated conditions") for
determining corrosive wear whilst using the well-known Plint TE-77 Reciprocating Test Rig (available from
Phoenix Tribology Ltd, Newbury, UK) in which a moving specimen is reciprocated against a stationary plate to simulate piston top position under closely controlled conditions. As test specimen a steel plate (Steel 20 RC, annealed) and a pin finely machined from a 2-stroke engine piston ring (Bolnes DNL 190/600) were used.
During the test a lubricating oil feed rate of 0.05 ml/min was used; also an acid (acid strength: H2S04 6N) feed rate of 0.05 ml/min over the contact surface on the plate was used, during 5 minutes each 10 minutes (i.e. 5 minutes off, 5 minutes on, 5 minutes off, etc.) . In the test, the following test conditions were used:
Load: 200 N
Temperature: 180°C
Reciprocating Frequency: 10 Hz
- Stroke length: 15 mm
Time: 60 minutes.
The measured corrosive wear properties are indicated in Table 2 below. Table 2
According to ASTM D 2896, after test; Decrease of BN compared with TBN value before test (see Table 1); for Example 1 this is [ ( 71.28-58.08 ) / 71.28 ] *100% = 18.52; 3Total corrosive wear is the sum of wear scar depth on plate and pin height reduction. Wear scar depth on plate was measured with a depth gauge (Digimatic Indicator ID-H, available from Mitutoyo Corporation) and pin height reduction was measured with a micrometer (Absolute Digimatic Micrometer, available from Mitutoyo Corporation); 4The normalised corrosive wear is the measured total wear [pm] divided by the measured wear for the selected Comparative Example (based on the same detergent formulation) . Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 5 and 6 are compared to Comparative Example 1 (and therefore the normalised wear for Comp. Ex. 1 is 1.00); Examples 3 and 4 and Comp. Ex. 7 are compared to Comp. Ex. 2.; Examples 5 and 6 are compared to Comp. Ex. 3; and Examples 7 and 8 are compared to Comp. Ex. 4. Examples 9 and 10 are compared to Comparative Examples 8, 9 and 10.

Discussion
As can be learned from Table 2, the corrosive wear protection and BN retention properties for the
compositions according to the present invention were significantly improved when compared with Comparative
Examples 1-4 and 8, which contain a base oil and one or more detergents but no amine compound; more specifically, the presence of the amine compound in the Examples according to the present invention resulted in a lower consumed BN (and thus better BN retention) , optimal use of the consumed fraction of BN (i.e. improved BN usage) and lower Total and Normalised corrosive wear. In this respect it is noted that although Comparative Examples 3 and 4 showed desirable consumed BN values, they exhibited much worse corrosive wear data (see e.g. Total corrosive wear) .
Also, it can be seen that the corrosive wear
protection properties for the compositions according to the present invention were significantly improved when compared with Comparative Examples 5-7, which contain a base oil, one or more detergents and a primary fatty alcohol. In this respect it is noted that such primary fatty alcohols have been recently suggested (see WO
2008/043901) for the purpose of BN usage optimisation, meaning improved acid neutralisation properties and thus improved corrosive wear protection.
From the comparison of the BN retention values of Examples 1 to 3 it can be learned that according to the present invention there is a preference for a mixture of a sulphonate-type and a phenate-type detergent (rather than a salicylate-type detergent); this, as Examples 3 and 4 exhibit a lower consumed BN and thus a better BN retention for the given 70 BN level.
Furthermore, it can be learned from Examples 5 to 8 that TBN levels of 40 (Examples 7 and 8) and 55 (Examples 5 and 6) in combination with amines resulted in a total wear value that is comparable with or less than (i.e. improved) those of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. This surprisingly suggests that a composition having a relatively low TBN (e.g. 40 or 55) but containing amines will perform equal or better in corrosive wear protection when compared to a composition having a relatively high TBN (e.g. 70) without amines, providing a route to formulate lower BN products as alternative for existing commercial 70 BN marine cylinder lubricants.
Furthermore, it can be learned from Comparative Examples 8-10 and Examples 9 and 10 that a level of greater than 0.3 wt% of amine compound provides
significantly lower corrosive wear. Comparative
Examples 9 and 10 (containing only 0.2 wt% and 0.3 wt% amine, respectively) had a total corrosive wear of 232 pm and 239 pm, respectively, while Examples 9 and 10
(containing 0.5 wt% and 1.0 wt% of amine, respectively) had a total corrosive wear of 195 pm and 180 pm,
respectively .
