Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to lubricant compositions containing one or more oil soluble additives and the use of such lubricating oil compositions to improve low speed pre-ignition.
  • Turbocharged or supercharged engines may exhibit an abnormal combustion phenomenon known as stochastic pre-ignition or low-speed pre-ignition (or "LSPI").
  • LSPI is a pre-ignition event that may include very high pressure spikes, early combustion during an inappropriate crank angle, and knock. All of these, individually and in combination, have the potential to cause degradation and/or severe damage to the engine.
  • LSPI events occur only sporadically and in an uncontrolled fashion, it is difficult to identify the causes for this phenomenon and to develop solutions to suppress it.
  • Pre-ignition is a form of combustion that results of ignition of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber prior to the desired ignition of the air-fuel mixture by the igniter.
  • Pre-ignition has typically been a problem during high speed engine operation since heat from operation of the engine may heat a part of the combustion chamber to a sufficient temperature to ignite the air-fuel mixture upon contact. This type of pre-ignition is sometimes referred to as hot-spot pre-ignition.
  • BMEP brake mean effective pressure

  • the LSPI events may be expressed as LSPI counts during 25,000 engine cycles, wherein the engine is operated at 2000 revolutions per minute (RPM) with a brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) of 18,000 kPA.

It should be noted that within each of these fluids such as, for example, automatic transmission fluids, there are a variety of different types of fluids due to the various transmissions having different designs which have led to the need for fluids of markedly different functional characteristics. This is contrasted by the term “lubricating fluid" which is not used to generate or transfer power.
  • tractor hydraulic fluids are all-purpose products used for all lubricant applications in a tractor except for lubricating the engine.
  • These lubricating applications may include lubrication of gearboxes, power take-off and clutch(es), rear axles, reduction gears, wet brakes, and hydraulic accessories.
  • a functional fluid is an automatic transmission fluid
  • the automatic transmission fluids must have enough friction for the clutch plates to transfer power.
  • the friction coefficient of fluids has a tendency to decline due to the temperature effects as the fluid heats up during operation. It is important that the tractor hydraulic fluid or automatic transmission fluid maintain its high friction coefficient at elevated temperatures, otherwise brake systems or automatic transmissions may fail. This is not a function of an engine oil.
  • Tractor fluids may combine the performance of engine oils with transmissions, differentials, final-drive planetary gears, wet-brakes, and hydraulic performance. While many of the additives used to formulate a UTTO or a STUO fluid are similar in functionality, they may have deleterious effect if not incorporated properly. For example, some anti-wear and extreme pressure additives used in engine oils can be extremely corrosive to the copper components in hydraulic pumps. Detergents and dispersants used for gasoline or diesel engine performance may be detrimental to wet brake performance. Friction modifiers specific to quiet wet brake noise, may lack the thermal stability required for engine oil performance. Each of these fluids, whether functional, tractor, or lubricating, are designed to meet specific and stringent manufacturer requirements.

  • Example 1-4 demonstrates the use of a LB/N calcium phenate in place of the LB/N calcium sulfonate.
  • 1-4 also shows a significant improvement in the LSPI Ratio as well as passing TEOST 33 test.
  • Table 4 clearly demonstrate that the amount of calcium from an OB calcium detergent may be maintained at a higher level by adding additional calcium from a LB/N calcium detergent while still passing the TEOST 33 test and ensuring a significant reduction in LSPI Ratio. Further, unexpectedly, the results obtained in the TEOST 33 test may be improved even in the absence of high amounts of OB calcium detergent. In fact, off-setting the OB calcium detergent with LB/N calcium detergent, unexpectedly and surprisingly improved TEOST 33 test while also reducing the LSPI Ratio.
  • the present data shows that off-setting OB Ca sulfonate with LB/N Ca sulfonate in an amount of greater than 8 % LB/N Ca Sulfonate in the total detergent provides an improvement in LSPI while maintaining performance in TEOST 33 test.
  • each amount/value or range of amounts/values for each component, compound, substituent or parameter disclosed herein is to be interpreted as also being disclosed in combination with each amount/value or range of amounts/values disclosed for any other component(s), compounds(s), substituent(s) or parameter(s) disclosed herein and that any combination of amounts/values or ranges of amounts/values for two or more component(s), compounds(s), substituent(s) or parameters disclosed herein are thus also disclosed in combination with each other for the purposes of this description.
