Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of imidazolium salts as additives for fuels, in particular as detergent additives for diesel fuels, especially for those diesel fuels which are burned in direct-injection diesel engines, in particular in common-rail injection systems. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an additive concentrate and a fuel or fuel composition containing such imidazolium salts. Furthermore, the present invention relates to novel imidazolium salts and their use in industrial fluids.
- direct-injection diesel engines the fuel is injected through a directly into the combustion chamber-reaching multi-hole injection nozzle of the engine and finely distributed (nebulized), instead of being introduced as in the classic (chamber) diesel engine in a vortex or vortex chamber.
- the advantage of direct-injection diesel engines lies in their high performance for diesel engines and yet low consumption. In addition, these engines achieve a very high torque even at low speeds.
- the diesel fuel is pumped by a pump with pressures up to 2000 bar into a high-pressure line, the common rail.
- spur lines run to the various injectors, which inject the fuel directly into the combustion chamber.
- the full pressure is always applied to the common rail, which allows a multiple injection or a special injection form. In the other injection systems, however, only a smaller variation of the injection is possible.
- Injection in the common rail is essentially subdivided into three groups: (1) preinjection, which substantially achieves softer combustion, so that hard combustion noises ("nails") are reduced and engine running appears quiet; (2.) main injection, which is responsible in particular for a good torque curve; and (3.) post-injection, which provides in particular for a low NO x value.
- preinjection which substantially achieves softer combustion, so that hard combustion noises ("nails") are reduced and engine running appears quiet
- main injection which is responsible in particular for a good torque curve
- post-injection which provides in particular for a low NO x value.
- the fuel is not burned in the rule, but evaporated by residual heat in the cylinder.
- the resulting exhaust gas / fuel mixture is transported to the exhaust system, where the fuel in the presence of suitable catalysts acts as a reducing agent for the nitrogen oxides NO x .
- deposits can form under certain conditions, for example when using biodiesel successionn fuels or fuels with metal impurities such as zinc compounds, copper compounds, lead compounds and other metal compounds at the injector Negatively affecting the injection behavior of the fuel and thereby impairing the performance of the engine, ie In particular, reduce the power, but in part also deteriorate the combustion.
- the formation of deposits is further enhanced by structural developments of the injectors, in particular by the change in the geometry of the nozzles (narrower, conical openings with rounded outlet). For a permanently optimal functioning of engine and injectors such deposits must be prevented or reduced in the nozzle openings by suitable fuel additives.
- the international application WO 2012/004300 (1) describes acid-free quaternized nitrogen compounds as fuel additives obtained by adding a compound containing at least one anhydride-reactive oxygen or nitrogen-containing group and additionally at least one quaternizable amino group to a polycarboxylic acid anhydride compound followed by quaternization with an epoxide in the absence of free acid are available.

- Such a quaternized nitrogen compound is, for example, the reaction product of polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride obtained at 40 ° C with 3- (dimethylamino) propylamine, which is a polyisobutenylsuccinic acid hemiamide and which is then quaternized with styrene oxide in the absence of free acid at 70 ° C.
- acid-free quaternized nitrogen compounds are particularly useful as fuel additives to reduce or prevent deposits in injection systems of direct injection diesel engines, particularly in common rail injection systems, to reduce fuel consumption of direct injection diesel engines, particularly diesel engines with common rail injection systems, and / or to minimize the power loss in direct injection diesel engines, especially in diesel engines with common rail injection systems.
- the international application PCT / EP2011 / 071683 (2) describes polytetrahydrobenzoxazines and bistetrahydrobenzoxazines as fuel additives which are obtainable by successively in a first reaction step a C 1 to C 20 -alkylenediamine having two primary amino functions, for example 1,2-ethylenediamine, having a C 1 to C 12 aldehyde, z. B.
- the bistetrahydrobenzoxazine thus obtained is heated to a temperature of 125 to 280 ° C for at least 10 minutes.
- Such Polytetrahydrobenzoxazine and Bistetrahy-drobenzoxazine are particularly useful as fuel additive for reducing or preventing deposits in injection systems of direct-injection diesel engines, especially in common-rail injection systems, to reduce the fuel consumption of direct-injection diesel engines, especially diesel engines with common-rail injection systems, and / or to minimize the power loss in direct injection diesel engines, especially in diesel engines with common rail injection systems.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung von Imidazoliumsalzen als Additive für Kraft- und Brennstoffe, insbesondere als Detergenzadditive für Dieselkraftstoffe, vor allem für solche Dieselkraftstoffe, die in direkteinspritzenden Dieselmotoren, insbesondere in Common-Rail-Einspritzsystemen, verbrannt werden. Weiterhin betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein Additivkonzentrat sowie eine Kraft- oder Brennstoffzusammensetzung, die solche Imidazoliumsalze enthalten. Weiterhin betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung neue Imidazoliumsalze und der Verwendung in Industrieflüssigkeiten.The present invention relates to the use of imidazolium salts as additives for fuels, in particular as detergent additives for diesel fuels, especially for those diesel fuels which are burned in direct-injection diesel engines, in particular in common-rail injection systems. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an additive concentrate and a fuel or fuel composition containing such imidazolium salts. Furthermore, the present invention relates to novel imidazolium salts and their use in industrial fluids.
Bei direkteinspritzenden Dieselmotoren wird der Kraftstoff durch eine direkt in den Brennraum reichende Mehrloch-Einspritzdüse des Motors eingespritzt und feinst verteilt (vernebelt), anstatt wie beim klassischen (Kammer-)Dieselmotor in eine Vor- oder Wirbelkammer eingeführt zu werden. Der Vorteil der direkteinspritzenden Dieselmotoren liegt in ihrer für Dieselmotoren hohen Leistung und einem dennoch geringen Verbrauch. Außerdem erreichen diese Motoren ein sehr hohes Drehmoment schon bei niedrigen Drehzahlen.In direct-injection diesel engines, the fuel is injected through a directly into the combustion chamber-reaching multi-hole injection nozzle of the engine and finely distributed (nebulized), instead of being introduced as in the classic (chamber) diesel engine in a vortex or vortex chamber. The advantage of direct-injection diesel engines lies in their high performance for diesel engines and yet low consumption. In addition, these engines achieve a very high torque even at low speeds.
Zur Zeit werden im Wesentlichen drei Verfahren eingesetzt, um den Kraftstoff direkt in den Brennraum des Dieselmotores einzuspritzen: die konventionelle Verteilereinspritzpumpe, das Pumpe-Düse-System (Unit-Injector-System bzw. Unit-Pump-System) und das Common-Rail-System.Essentially, three methods are currently used to inject the fuel directly into the combustion chamber of the diesel engine: the conventional distributor injection pump, the unit-injector system and the common-rail system. System.
Beim Common-Rail-System wird der Dieselkraftstoff von einer Pumpe mit Drücken bis zu 2000 bar in eine Hochdruckleitung, die Common-Rail, gefördert. Ausgehend von der Common-Rail laufen Stichleitungen zu den verschiedenen Injektoren, die den Kraftstoff direkt in den Brennraum injizieren. Dabei liegt auf der Common-Rail stets der volle Druck an, was eine Mehrfacheinspritzung oder eine spezielle Einspritzform ermöglicht. Bei den anderen Injektionssystemen ist dagegen nur eine geringere Variation der Einspritzung möglich. Die Einspritzung beim Common-Rail wird im Wesentlichen in drei Gruppen unterteilt: (1.) Voreinspritzung, durch die im Wesentlichen eine weichere Verbrennung erreicht wird, so dass harte Verbrennungsgeräusche ("Nageln") vermindert werden und der Motorlauf ruhig erscheint; (2.) Haupteinspritzung, die insbesondere für einen guten Drehmomentverlauf verantwortlich ist; und (3.) Nacheinspritzung, die insbesondere für einen geringen NOx-Wert sorgt. Bei dieser Nacheinspritzung wird der Kraftstoff in der Regel nicht verbrannt, sondern durch Restwärme im Zylinder verdampft. Das dabei gebildete Abgas-/Kraftstoffgemisch wird zur Abgasanlage transportiert, wo der Kraftstoff in Gegenwart geeigneter Katalysatoren als Reduktionsmittel für die Stickoxide NOx wirkt.In the common-rail system, the diesel fuel is pumped by a pump with pressures up to 2000 bar into a high-pressure line, the common rail. Starting from the common rail, spur lines run to the various injectors, which inject the fuel directly into the combustion chamber. In this case, the full pressure is always applied to the common rail, which allows a multiple injection or a special injection form. In the other injection systems, however, only a smaller variation of the injection is possible. Injection in the common rail is essentially subdivided into three groups: (1) preinjection, which substantially achieves softer combustion, so that hard combustion noises ("nails") are reduced and engine running appears quiet; (2.) main injection, which is responsible in particular for a good torque curve; and (3.) post-injection, which provides in particular for a low NO x value. In this post injection, the fuel is not burned in the rule, but evaporated by residual heat in the cylinder. The resulting exhaust gas / fuel mixture is transported to the exhaust system, where the fuel in the presence of suitable catalysts acts as a reducing agent for the nitrogen oxides NO x .
Durch die variable, zylinderindividuelle Einspritzung kann beim Common-Rail-Einspritzsystem der Schadstoffausstoß des Motors, z.B. der Ausstoß von Stickoxiden (NOx), Kohlenmonoxid (CO) und insbesondere von Partikeln (Ruß), positiv beeinflusst werden. Dies ermöglicht beispielsweise, dass mit Common-Rail-Einspritzsystemen ausgerüstete Motoren der Euro 4-Norm theoretisch auch ohne zusätzlichen Partikelfilter genügen können.Due to the variable, cylinder-specific injection of the common-rail injection system of the pollutant emissions of the engine, such as the emission of nitrogen oxides (NO x ), carbon monoxide (CO) and in particular of particles (soot) are positively influenced. This allows, for example, that equipped with common-rail injection systems engines of Euro 4 standard can theoretically meet without additional particulate filter.
In modernen Common-Rail-Dieselmotoren können sich unter bestimmten Bedingungen, beispielsweise bei Verwendung von biodieselhaltigen Kraftstoffen oder von Kraftstoffen mit Metall-Verunreinigungen wie Zink-Verbindungen, Kupfer-Verbindungen, Blei-Verbindungen und weiteren Metallverbindungen, an den Injektoröffnungen Ablagerungen bilden, die das Einspritzverhalten des Kraftstoffs negativ beeinflussen und dadurch die Performance des Motors beeinträchtigen, d.h. insbesondere die Leistung verringern, aber zum Teil auch die Verbrennung verschlechtern. Die Bildung von Ablagerungen wird durch bauliche Weiterentwicklungen der Injektoren, insbesondere durch die Veränderung der Geometrie der Düsen (engere, konische Öffnungen mit abgerundetem Auslass) noch verstärkt. Für eine dauerhaft optimale Funktionsweise von Motor und Injektoren müssen solche Ablagerungen in den Düsenöffnungen durch geeignete Kraftstoffadditive verhindert oder reduziert werden.In modern common-rail diesel engines deposits can form under certain conditions, for example when using biodieselhaltigen fuels or fuels with metal impurities such as zinc compounds, copper compounds, lead compounds and other metal compounds at the injector Negatively affecting the injection behavior of the fuel and thereby impairing the performance of the engine, ie In particular, reduce the power, but in part also deteriorate the combustion. The formation of deposits is further enhanced by structural developments of the injectors, in particular by the change in the geometry of the nozzles (narrower, conical openings with rounded outlet). For a permanently optimal functioning of engine and injectors such deposits must be prevented or reduced in the nozzle openings by suitable fuel additives.

Geeignete Kaltfließverbesserer als Co-Additive sind im Prinzip alle organischen Verbindungen, welche in der Lage sind, das Fließverhalten von Mitteldestillat-Kraftstoffen bzw. Dieselkraftstoffen in der Kälte zu verbessern. Zweckmäßigerweise müssen sie eine ausreichende Öllöslichkeit aufweisen. Insbesondere kommen hierfür die üblicherweise bei Mitteldestillaten aus fossilem Ursprung, also bei üblichen mineralischen Dieselkraftstoffen, eingesetzten Kaltfließverbesserer ("middle distillate flow improvers", "MDFI") in Betracht. Jedoch können auch organische Verbindungen verwendet werden, die beim Einsatz in üblichen Dieselkraftstoffen zum Teil oder überwiegend die Eigenschaften eines Wax Anti-Settling Additivs ("WASA") aufweisen. Die erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Imidazoliumsalze (I) weisen in Mitteldestillatbrennstoffen, insbesondere in Dieselkraftstoffen, selbst Eigenschaften als WASA auf, was ja auch Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist. Auch können als Kaltfließverbesserer eingesetzte Co-Additive zum Teil oder überwiegend als Nukleatoren wirken. Es können aber auch Mischungen aus als MDFI wirksamen und/oder als WASA wirksamen und/oder als Nukleatoren wirksamen organischen Verbindungen eingesetzt werden.Suitable cold flow improvers as co-additives are in principle all organic compounds which are able to improve the flow behavior of middle distillate fuels or diesel fuels in the cold. Conveniently, they must have sufficient oil solubility. In particular, the usually used for middle distillates of fossil origin, ie for conventional mineral diesel fuels, used cold flow improvers ("middle distillate flow improvers", "MDFI") come into consideration. However, it is also possible to use organic compounds which, when used in conventional diesel fuels, have in part or predominantly the properties of a wax anti-settling additive ("WASA"). The imidazolium salts (I) used according to the invention have properties in themselves as middle grade distillate fuels, in particular in diesel fuels, as WASA, which is also the subject matter of the present invention. Also, co-additives used as cold flow improvers can act partly or predominantly as nucleators. However, it is also possible to use mixtures of organic compounds which are active as MDFI and / or which act as WASA and / or as nucleators.
