Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a two-cycle marine engine cylinder lubricant for use with both high sulfur and low sulfur fuel oils. It relates more particularly to a lubricant having sufficient neutralization capacity vis-à-vis the sulfuric acid formed during the combustion of high-sulfur fuel oil, while limiting the formation of deposits during the use of fuel oils. low sulfur content.
  • the marine oils used in slow-moving 2-stroke engines are of two types.
  • the cylinder oils on the one hand, ensuring the lubrication of the cylinder piston assembly, and the system oils on the other hand, ensuring the lubrication of all moving parts out of the cylinder piston assembly.
  • the combustion residues containing acid gases are in contact with the lubricating oil.
  • Acid gases are formed from the combustion of fuel oils; they are in particular sulfur oxides (SO 2 , SO 3 ), which are then hydrolysed when in contact with the moisture present in the combustion gases and / or in the oil. This hydrolysis generates sulfurous acid (HSO 3 ) or sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ).
  • these acids must be neutralized, which is usually done by reaction with the basic sites included in the lubricant.
  • the capacity of neutralization of an oil is measured by its BN or Base Number in English, characterizing its basicity. It is measured according to ASTM D-2896 and is expressed in milligram equivalent of potash per gram of oil (also referred to as "mg of KOH / g" or "BN point").
  • the BN is a standard criterion for adjusting the basicity of cylinder oils to the sulfur content of the fuel used, in order to neutralize all the sulfur contained in the fuel, and likely to be converted into sulfuric acid by combustion and hydrolysis.
  • BN ranging from 5 to 100 mg KOH / g.
  • the detergents mainly of the anionic type, are, for example, metal salicylate, phenate, sulphonate or carboxylate soaps which form micelles in which the insoluble metal salt particles are kept in suspension.
  • the usual overbased detergents intrinsically have a BN conventionally between 150 and 700 mg KOH per gram of detergent. Their mass percentage is fixed in the lubricant as a function of the level of BN that one wishes to achieve.
  • a part of the BN can also be provided by non-overbased or "neutral” detergents with a NO 2 typically of less than 150.
  • neutral detergents with a NO 2 typically of less than 150.
  • the insoluble metal salts of the overbased detergents for example calcium carbonate, thus contribute significantly to the BN of the usual lubricants. It can be considered that at least 50%, typically 75%, of the BN of the cylinder lubricants is thus provided by these insoluble salts.
  • the detergent part itself, or metal soaps, found in both neutral and overbased detergents typically provides the bulk of the BN complement.
  • MARPOL Annex 6 (Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) of IMO (International Maritime Organization) entered into force in May 2005. It sets a maximum sulfur content of 4.5% w / w heavy fuel oils and the creation of Sulfur Emission Control Areas (Sulfur Emission Control Areas). Vessels entering these areas must use fuel with a maximum sulfur content of 1.5% m / m or other alternative treatment to limit SOx emissions to meet the values. specified.
  • the notation% m / m denotes the weight percentage of a compound relative to the total weight of fuel oil or lubricating composition in which it is included.
  • the switching between these two categories of fuel oil may require adaptation of the operating conditions of the engine, in particular the use of appropriate cylinder lubricants.
  • marine lubricants with a BN of about 70 are used.
  • marine lubricants with a BN of about 40 are used (this value will in the future be reduced).
  • each of these lubricants has limitations of use resulting from the following observations: the use of a BN 70 cylinder lubricant in the presence of a low sulfur fuel oil (1.5% w / w and less) ) and fixed lubrication rate, creates a large excess of basic sites (strong BN) and a risk of destabilization of micelles of unused overbased detergents, which contain insoluble metal salts. This destabilization results in the formation of insoluble metal salt deposits and having a high hardness (for example calcium carbonate), mainly on the piston ring, and eventually can lead to a risk of excessive wear polishing shirt.
  • a BN 70 cylinder lubricant in the presence of a low sulfur fuel oil (1.5% w / w and less)
  • fixed lubrication rate creates a large excess of basic sites (strong BN) and a risk of destabilization of micelles of unused overbased detergents, which contain insoluble metal salts.
  • This destabilization results in the formation of insoluble metal
  • the optimization of the cylinder lubrication of a slow 2-stroke engine then requires the selection of the lubricant with the BN adapted to the fuel oil and to the operating conditions of the engine. This optimization reduces the operating flexibility of the engine and requires a high degree of technical skill of the crew in defining the conditions under which the changeover from one type of lubricant to the other must be achieved.
  • the demand WO 2009/153453 discloses two-cycle marine engine cylinder lubricants for use with both high and low sulfur fuels.
  • the said lubricating compositions have a BN greater than or equal to 15, and comprise one or more lubricating base oils for a marine engine, at least one overbased detergent, optionally in combination with a neutral detergent, one or more oil-soluble fatty amines. .
  • Fatty amines bring at least 10 points of BN, and detergents overbased at most 20 points of BN, to the lubricant.
  • These lubricating compositions can have a BN of the order of 50 and are as effective from the point of view of acid neutralization kinetics as much higher (typically 70) BN cylinder lubricants, specifically designed for high solids content fuels. sulfur; their reduced rate of overbased detergents also allows them to be adapted to low sulfur content.
  • the demand FR 2094182 discloses a lubricating composition
  • a lubricating composition comprising from 0.01 to 5% of an acid neutralization accelerator which may be an ethoxylated fatty diamine, and sufficient alkaline earth metal carbonate to impart a BN of 0.5 to 100 mg KOH / g to the composition.
  • an acid neutralization accelerator which may be an ethoxylated fatty diamine
  • alkaline earth metal carbonate to impart a BN of 0.5 to 100 mg KOH / g to the composition.
  • These carbonates can be dispersed in the lubricant by phenates or sulfonates.
  • compositions have a thermal resistance (measured in particular by their ability to form deposits in the ECBT test) mediocre.
  • the present invention relates to a lubricant composition that can be used as cylinder lubricants for two-stroke marine engines, which can be used with both high and low sulfur fuels, and which makes it possible to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • Lubricating compositions according to the invention comprise alkoxylated fatty amines in limited amounts, combined with neutral detergents and overbased detergents in specific proportions.
