Description

L'invention concerne le domaine des compositions lubrifiantes, notamment des compositions lubrifiantes pour véhicules automobiles, en particulier le domaine des compositions lubrifiantes pour transmission, pour boîte de vitesses ou pour pont. La composition lubrifiante selon l'invention comprend au moins 30 % en poids de la composition d'au moins un monoester, au moins une huile polyalphaoléfinique (PAO) dont la viscosité cinématique mesurée à 100 °C va de 40 à 3 000 mm2.s-1 et au moins une huile polyalphaoléfinique (PAO) dont la viscosité cinématique mesurée à 100 °C va de 1,5 à 10 mm2.s-1. L'invention concerne également l'utilisation de cette composition lubrifiante pour réduire la consommation de carburant d'un véhicule équipé d'une transmission, notamment d'un pont ou d'une boîte de vitesses, lubrifiée au moyen de cette composition lubrifiante.The invention relates to the field of lubricating compositions, in particular lubricating compositions for motor vehicles, in particular the field of lubricating compositions for transmission, for gearbox or for axle. The lubricating composition according to the invention comprises at least 30% by weight of the composition of at least one monoester, at least one polyalphaolefinic oil (PAO), the kinematic viscosity of which measured at 100 ° C. ranges from 40 to 3000 mm 2 . s -1 and at least one polyalphaolefinic oil (PAO) whose kinematic viscosity measured at 100 ° C ranges from 1.5 to 10 mm 2 .s -1 . The invention also relates to the use of this lubricating composition for reducing the fuel consumption of a vehicle equipped with a transmission, in particular an axle or a gearbox, lubricated by means of this lubricating composition.

Les huiles pour boîtes de vitesses ou pour pont, et plus généralement les huiles pour engrenages, doivent satisfaire à de nombreuses exigences, notamment liées au confort de conduite (passage de vitesse parfait, marche silencieuse, fonctionnement sans incident, grande fiabilité), à la durée de vie de l'ensemble (réduction de l'usure lors du passage à froid, pas de dépôts et grande stabilité thermique et à l'oxydation, sécurité de lubrification à hautes températures, situation de viscosité stable et absence de perte par cisaillement, longue durée de vie) ainsi qu'à la prise en compte d'aspects environnementaux (consommation de carburant inférieure, réduction de la consommation d'huile, faible dégagement de bruit, évacuation facile).Oils for gearboxes or for axles, and more generally gear oils, must meet many requirements, in particular related to driving comfort (perfect gear change, silent operation, trouble-free operation, high reliability), service life of the assembly (reduction of wear during cold passage, no deposits and high thermal and oxidation stability, safe lubrication at high temperatures, stable viscosity situation and absence of shear loss, long life) as well as the consideration of environmental aspects (lower fuel consumption, reduced oil consumption, low noise emission, easy evacuation).

Il s'agit habituellement des exigences imposées aux huiles pour boîtes de vitesses à commande manuelle et engrenages d'essieux.These are usually the requirements for manually operated transmission and axle gear oils.

Concernant les exigences imposées aux huiles de boîtes automatiques (huiles ATF pour automatic transmission fluids), du fait de leur utilisation, il apparaît pour les huiles ATF des exigences très spécifiques qui sont une grande constance du coefficient de frottement pendant toute la durée du séjour pour un changement de vitesse optimal, une excellente stabilité au vieillissement pour de longs intervalles de vidange, une bonne tenue viscosité-température afin de garantir un parfait fonctionnement avec un moteur chaud et un moteur froid et une compatibilité d'étanchéité suffisante avec différents élastomères utilisés dans les joints de transmissions pour que ceux-ci ne gonflent pas, ne rétrécissent pas et ne se fragilisent pas.Regarding the requirements imposed on automatic gear oils (ATF oils for automatic transmission fluids), due to their use, very specific requirements appear for ATF oils which are a great constancy of the coefficient of friction throughout the duration of the stay for optimum gear change, excellent aging stability for long oil change intervals, good viscosity-temperature resistance to ensure perfect operation with a hot engine and a cold engine and sufficient sealing compatibility with different elastomers used in transmission gaskets so that they do not swell, shrink or weaken.

Par ailleurs, dans le domaine de l'automobile, la recherche de la réduction des émissions de CO2 oblige à développer des produits lubrifiants permettant de réduire le frottement dans les boîtes de vitesses et dans les différentiels de ponts. Cette réduction du frottement dans les boîtes de vitesses et dans les différentiels de ponts doit être obtenue pour différentes conditions de fonctionnement. Ces réductions de frottements doivent concerner les frottements internes au lubrifiant mais également les frottements des éléments constituants les boîtes de vitesses ou les différentiels de ponts, en particulier les éléments métalliques.Moreover, in the automotive field, the search for the reduction of CO 2 emissions makes it necessary to develop lubricant products which make it possible to reduce friction in gearboxes and in axle differentials. This reduction in friction in gearboxes and axle differentials must be achieved for different operating conditions. These friction reductions must relate to the internal friction of the lubricant, but also to the friction of the components of the gearboxes or of the axle differentials, in particular the metal components.

La nature des compositions lubrifiantes pour moteur pour automobiles a une influence sur l'émission de polluants et sur la consommation de carburant. Les compositions lubrifiantes pour moteur pour véhicule permettant des économies d'énergie sont souvent désignées « fuel-eco » (FE), en terminologie anglo-saxonne. De telles huiles « fuel-eco » ont été développées pour satisfaire ces nouveaux besoins. La réduction des pertes d'énergie est donc une recherche constante dans le domaine des compositions lubrifiantes pour véhicule.The nature of the lubricating compositions for motor vehicles has an influence on the emission of pollutants and on the fuel consumption. Lubricating compositions for vehicle engines allowing energy savings are often referred to as “fuel-eco” (FE), in English terminology. Such “fuel-eco” oils have been developed to meet these new needs. Reducing energy losses is therefore a constant search in the field of lubricating compositions for vehicles.

JP 2009 203385 A décrit des compositions lubrifiantes comprenant un composé monoester de formule R1C(O)OR2 avec R1 et R2 des groupements hydrocarbonés en C13-C28, et une huile synthétique hydrocarbonée présentant une viscosité cinématique mesurée à 100°C de 20 à 3 000 mm2/s. JP 2009 203 385 A describes lubricating compositions comprising a monoester compound of formula R 1 C (O) OR 2 with R 1 and R 2 of C13-C28 hydrocarbon groups, and a synthetic hydrocarbon oil exhibiting a kinematic viscosity measured at 100 ° C from 20 to 3 000 mm 2 / s.

US 2011/177989 A1 décrit des compositions lubrifiantes pour transmissions, en particulier pour boites de vitesses, et à leur utilisation pour limiter la consommation de carburant de véhicules à moteurs. Les compositions conviennent pour tous types de véhicules, notamment véhicules légers, et sont particulièrement adaptées aux véhicules à moteurs hybrides. US 2011/177989 A1 describes lubricating compositions for transmissions, in particular for gearboxes, and their use for limiting the fuel consumption of motor vehicles. The compositions are suitable for all types of vehicles, in particular light vehicles, and are particularly suitable for vehicles with hybrid engines.

Les compositions lubrifiantes pour véhicule doivent donc posséder des propriétés et des performances améliorées. Il est notamment nécessaire de fournir des compositions lubrifiantes alternatives, en particulier des compositions lubrifiantes possédant un indice de viscosité (VI) élevé ainsi qu'un faible coefficient de traction.Lubricating compositions for vehicles must therefore have improved properties and performance. It is in particular necessary to provide alternative lubricating compositions, in particular lubricating compositions having a high viscosity index (VI) as well as a low coefficient of traction.

Les compositions lubrifiantes recherchées doivent posséder un indice de viscosité élevé afin d'éviter les pertes énergétiques à froid du fait des frottements mais également pour maintenir à chaud un film de lubrifiant suffisant sur les éléments lubrifiés. Un indice de viscosité élevé garantit donc une baisse moindre de la viscosité lorsque la température augmente.The desired lubricating compositions must have a high viscosity index in order to avoid cold energy losses due to friction but also for keep a sufficient film of lubricant hot on the lubricated elements. A high viscosity index therefore guarantees less drop in viscosity when the temperature increases.

Il est également nécessaire de fournir des compositions lubrifiantes alternatives présentant une bonne résistance à l'oxydation.It is also necessary to provide alternative lubricating compositions exhibiting good resistance to oxidation.

Il existe donc un besoin de disposer de compositions lubrifiantes pour transmission de véhicule qui permettent d'apporter une solution à tout ou partie des problèmes des compositions lubrifiantes de l'état de la technique.There is therefore a need to have lubricating compositions for vehicle transmission which make it possible to provide a solution to all or part of the problems of lubricating compositions of the state of the art.
