Definitions
- This invention relates to the lubrication of internal combustion engines.
- EP-A-2 682 451 (“451") describes overbased sulphurised calcium phenate detergent additives having oxyalkylated phenolic functional groups from unreacted alkylphenol starting material and lubricating compositions (including MDCL's) comprising the same. See Abstract and paragraph 0046. These are stated to be for a range of internal combustion engines (spark-ignited or compression-ignited) such as motor vehicle engines and marine engines. The latter include two-stroke marine diesel engines and marine trunk piston engines. There is, however, no mention of the additives having antiwear properties; in fact, "451” refers to antiwear functionality being provided by different additives. See paragraph 0045. US2014/360451 discloses the use of sulfurized branched alkyl phenols to improve the anti-wear performance of lubricating oil compositions.
- the present invention provides in one aspect the use of an oxyalkylated sulfurized alkylphenol detergent additive in an internal combustion engine lubricant for providing control of and/or improvement of the wear performance of the lubricant, such as when lubricating the engine cylinder of a marine diesel two-stroke cross-head engine.
- the lubricant composition contains a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity.
- oil of lubricating viscosity may range in viscosity from light distillate mineral oils to heavy lubricating oils. Generally, the viscosity of the oil ranges from 2 to 40, such as 3 to 15, mm 2 /sec, as measured at 100°C, and has a viscosity index of 80 to 100, such as 90 to 95.
- the lubricating oil may comprise a major amount of the composition as defined above.
- Natural oils include animal oils and vegetable oils (e.g., castor oil, lard oil); liquid petroleum oils and hydrorefined, solvent-treated or acid-treated mineral oils of the paraffinic, naphthenic and mixed paraffinic-naphthenic types. Oils of lubricating viscosity derived from coal or shale also serve as useful base oils.
- Synthetic lubricating oils include hydrocarbon oils and halo-substituted hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins (e.g., polybutylenes, polypropylenes, propylene-isobutylene copolymers, chlorinated polybutylenes, poly(1-hexenes), poly(1-octenes), poly(1-decenes)); alkybenzenes (e.g., dodecylbenzenes, tetradecylbenzenes, dinonylbenzenes, di(2-ethylhexyl)benzenes); polyphenyls (e.g., biphenyls, terphenyls, alkylated polyphenols); and alkylated diphenyl ethers and alkylated diphenyl sulphides and derivatives, analogues and homologues thereof.
- Alkylene oxide polymers and interpolymers and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, etc. constitute another class of known synthetic lubricating oils. These are exemplified by polyoxyalkylene polymers prepared by polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, and the alkyl and aryl ethers of polyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g., methyl-polyisopropylene glycol ether having a molecular weight of 1000 or diphenyl ether of polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 1000 to 1500); and mono- and polycarboxylic esters thereof, for example, the acetic acid esters, mixed C 3 -C 8 fatty acid esters and C 13 oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol.
- polyoxyalkylene polymers prepared by polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide
- alkyl and aryl ethers of polyoxyalkylene polymers e.g.
- Another suitable class of synthetic lubricating oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids and alkenyl succinic acids, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, malonic acid, alkylmalonic acids, alkenyl malonic acids) with a variety of alcohols (e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoether, propylene glycol).
- dicarboxylic acids e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids and alkenyl succinic acids, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linole
- esters includes dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, and the complex ester formed by reacting one mole of sebacic acid with two moles of tetraethylene glycol and two moles of 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
- Esters useful as synthetic oils also include those made from C 5 to C 12 monocarboxylic acids and polyols and polyol esters such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol and tripentaerythritol.
- Silicon-based oils such as the polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy- or polyaryloxysilicone oils and silicate oils comprise another useful class of synthetic lubricants; such oils include tetraethyl silicate, tetraisopropyl silicate, tetra-(2-ethylhexyl)silicate, tetra-(4-methyl-2-ethylhexyl)silicate, tetra-(p-tert-butyl-phenyl) silicate, hexa-(4-methyl-2-ethylhexyl)disiloxane, poly(methyl)siloxanes and poly(methylphenyl)siloxanes.
- oils include tetraethyl silicate, tetraisopropyl silicate, tetra-(2-ethylhexyl)silicate, tetra-(4-methyl-2-ethylhexy
- Other synthetic lubricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus-containing acids (e.g., tricresyl phosphate, trioctyl phosphate, diethyl ester of decylphosphonic acid) and polymeric tetrahydrofurans.
- Unrefined, refined and re-refined oils can be used in lubricants of the present invention.
- Unrefined oils are those obtained directly from a natural or synthetic source without further purification treatment. For example, a shale oil obtained directly from retorting operations; petroleum oil obtained directly from distillation; or ester oil obtained directly from esterification and used without further treatment are unrefined oils.
- the present invention preferably embraces Group I or Group II base stocks or oils.
- the oil of lubricating viscosity in this invention contains 50 mass % or more of said basestocks. It may contain 60, such as 70, 80 or 90, mass % or more of said basestock or a mixture thereof.
- the oil of lubricating viscosity may be substantially all of said basestock or a mixture thereof.
- the invention is not however limited to use of the above-mentioned base stocks; thus it may, for example, include use of Group III, IV or V basestocks and of bright stock. They also include basestocks derived from hydrocarbons synthesised by the Fischer-Tropsch process.
- synthesis gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen is first generated and then converted to hydrocarbons using a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst.
- hydrocarbons typically require further processing in order to be useful as a base oil. For example, they may, by methods known in the art, be hydroisomerized; hydrocracked and hydroisomerized; dewaxed; or hydroisomerized and dewaxed.
- the syngas may, for example, be made from gas such as natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons by steam reforming, when the basestock may be referred to as gas-to-liquid (“GTL”) base oil; or from gasification of biomass, when the basestock may be referred to as biomass-to-liquid (“BTL” or “BMTL”) base oil; or from gasification of coal, when the basestock may be referred to as coal-to-liquid (“CTL”) base oil.
- GTL gas-to-liquid
- BTL biomass-to-liquid
- CTL coal-to-liquid
- the oil of lubricating viscosity in this invention contains 50 mass % or more of said basestocks. It may contain 60, such as 70, 80 or 90, mass % or more of said basestock or a mixture thereof.
- the oil of lubricating viscosity may be substantially all of said basestock or a mixture thereof.
- a detergent is an additive that is based on compounds comprising a polar moeity and a hydrophobic tail, sometimes referred to as surfactants. If the polar moeity of the surfactant is acidic then it can optionally be neutralised in the presence of a metal base to form detergents comprising metal salts.
- a metal base Large amounts of a metal base are optionally included by reacting an excess of a metal compound, such as an oxide or hydroxide, with an acidic gas such as carbon dioxide to give an overbased detergent which comprises neutralised surfactant as the outer layer of a metal base (e.g. carbonate) micelle.
- a metal compound such as an oxide or hydroxide
- an acidic gas such as carbon dioxide
- the detergent may be a surfactant, partially neutralised surfactant, fully neutralised surfactant or overbased neutralised surfactant.

Description
- This invention relates to the lubrication of internal combustion engines.
-
EP-A-2 682 451 ("451") describes overbased sulphurised calcium phenate detergent additives having oxyalkylated phenolic functional groups from unreacted alkylphenol starting material and lubricating compositions (including MDCL's) comprising the same. See Abstract and paragraph 0046. These are stated to be for a range of internal combustion engines (spark-ignited or compression-ignited) such as motor vehicle engines and marine engines. The latter include two-stroke marine diesel engines and marine trunk piston engines. There is, however, no mention of the additives having antiwear properties; in fact, "451" refers to antiwear functionality being provided by different additives. See paragraph 0045.US2014/360451 discloses the use of sulfurized branched alkyl phenols to improve the anti-wear performance of lubricating oil compositions. - It is now found that the use of additives exemplified by oxyalkylated sulfurized alkylphenol detergents in internal combustion engine lubricants provide valuable antiwear properties.
- Thus, the present invention provides in one aspect the use of an oxyalkylated sulfurized alkylphenol detergent additive in an internal combustion engine lubricant for providing control of and/or improvement of the wear performance of the lubricant, such as when lubricating the engine cylinder of a marine diesel two-stroke cross-head engine.

- Further, it is understood that any upper and lower quantity, range and ratio limits set forth herein may be independently combined.
- The features of the invention will now be discussed in more detail below.
- The lubricant composition contains a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity. Such lubricating oils may range in viscosity from light distillate mineral oils to heavy lubricating oils. Generally, the viscosity of the oil ranges from 2 to 40, such as 3 to 15, mm2/sec, as measured at 100°C, and has a viscosity index of 80 to 100, such as 90 to 95. The lubricating oil may comprise a major amount of the composition as defined above.
- Natural oils include animal oils and vegetable oils (e.g., castor oil, lard oil); liquid petroleum oils and hydrorefined, solvent-treated or acid-treated mineral oils of the paraffinic, naphthenic and mixed paraffinic-naphthenic types. Oils of lubricating viscosity derived from coal or shale also serve as useful base oils.
- Synthetic lubricating oils include hydrocarbon oils and halo-substituted hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins (e.g., polybutylenes, polypropylenes, propylene-isobutylene copolymers, chlorinated polybutylenes, poly(1-hexenes), poly(1-octenes), poly(1-decenes)); alkybenzenes (e.g., dodecylbenzenes, tetradecylbenzenes, dinonylbenzenes, di(2-ethylhexyl)benzenes); polyphenyls (e.g., biphenyls, terphenyls, alkylated polyphenols); and alkylated diphenyl ethers and alkylated diphenyl sulphides and derivatives, analogues and homologues thereof.
- Alkylene oxide polymers and interpolymers and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, etc., constitute another class of known synthetic lubricating oils. These are exemplified by polyoxyalkylene polymers prepared by polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, and the alkyl and aryl ethers of polyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g., methyl-polyisopropylene glycol ether having a molecular weight of 1000 or diphenyl ether of polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 1000 to 1500); and mono- and polycarboxylic esters thereof, for example, the acetic acid esters, mixed C3-C8 fatty acid esters and C13 oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol.
- Another suitable class of synthetic lubricating oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids and alkenyl succinic acids, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, malonic acid, alkylmalonic acids, alkenyl malonic acids) with a variety of alcohols (e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoether, propylene glycol). Specific examples of such esters includes dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, and the complex ester formed by reacting one mole of sebacic acid with two moles of tetraethylene glycol and two moles of 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
- Esters useful as synthetic oils also include those made from C5 to C12 monocarboxylic acids and polyols and polyol esters such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol and tripentaerythritol.
- Silicon-based oils such as the polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy- or polyaryloxysilicone oils and silicate oils comprise another useful class of synthetic lubricants; such oils include tetraethyl silicate, tetraisopropyl silicate, tetra-(2-ethylhexyl)silicate, tetra-(4-methyl-2-ethylhexyl)silicate, tetra-(p-tert-butyl-phenyl) silicate, hexa-(4-methyl-2-ethylhexyl)disiloxane, poly(methyl)siloxanes and poly(methylphenyl)siloxanes. Other synthetic lubricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus-containing acids (e.g., tricresyl phosphate, trioctyl phosphate, diethyl ester of decylphosphonic acid) and polymeric tetrahydrofurans.
- Unrefined, refined and re-refined oils can be used in lubricants of the present invention. Unrefined oils are those obtained directly from a natural or synthetic source without further purification treatment. For example, a shale oil obtained directly from retorting operations; petroleum oil obtained directly from distillation; or ester oil obtained directly from esterification and used without further treatment are unrefined oils.
- The American Petroleum Institute (API) publication "Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System", Industry Services Department, Fourteenth Edition, December 1996, Addendum 1, December 1998 categorizes base stocks as follows:
- a) Group I base stocks contain less than 90 percent saturates and/or greater than 0.03 percent sulphur and have a viscosity index greater than or equal to 80 and less than 120 using the test methods specified in Table E-1.
- b) Group II base stocks contain greater than or equal to 90 percent saturates and less than or equal to 0.03 percent sulphur and have a viscosity index greater than or equal to 80 and less than 120 using the test methods specified in Table E-1.
- c) Group III base stocks contain greater than or equal to 90 percent saturates and less than or equal to 0.03 percent sulphur and have a viscosity index greater than or equal to 120 using the test methods specified in Table E-1.
- d) Group IV base stocks are polyalphaolefins (PAO).
- e) Group V base stocks include all other base stocks not included in Group I, II, III, or IV.
- Analytical Methods for Base Stock are tabulated below:
Table E-1 PROPERTY TEST METHOD Saturates ASTM D 2007 Viscosity Index ASTM D 2270 Sulphur ASTM D 2622 ASTM D 4294 ASTM D 4927 ASTM D 3120 - The present invention preferably embraces Group I or Group II base stocks or oils. Preferably, the oil of lubricating viscosity in this invention contains 50 mass % or more of said basestocks. It may contain 60, such as 70, 80 or 90, mass % or more of said basestock or a mixture thereof. The oil of lubricating viscosity may be substantially all of said basestock or a mixture thereof. The invention is not however limited to use of the above-mentioned base stocks; thus it may, for example, include use of Group III, IV or V basestocks and of bright stock. They also include basestocks derived from hydrocarbons synthesised by the Fischer-Tropsch process. In the Fischer-Tropsch process, synthesis gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen (or 'syngas') is first generated and then converted to hydrocarbons using a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. These hydrocarbons typically require further processing in order to be useful as a base oil. For example, they may, by methods known in the art, be hydroisomerized; hydrocracked and hydroisomerized; dewaxed; or hydroisomerized and dewaxed. The syngas may, for example, be made from gas such as natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons by steam reforming, when the basestock may be referred to as gas-to-liquid ("GTL") base oil; or from gasification of biomass, when the basestock may be referred to as biomass-to-liquid ("BTL" or "BMTL") base oil; or from gasification of coal, when the basestock may be referred to as coal-to-liquid ("CTL") base oil.
- Preferably, the oil of lubricating viscosity in this invention contains 50 mass % or more of said basestocks. It may contain 60, such as 70, 80 or 90, mass % or more of said basestock or a mixture thereof. The oil of lubricating viscosity may be substantially all of said basestock or a mixture thereof.
- A detergent is an additive that is based on compounds comprising a polar moeity and a hydrophobic tail, sometimes referred to as surfactants. If the polar moeity of the surfactant is acidic then it can optionally be neutralised in the presence of a metal base to form detergents comprising metal salts.
- Large amounts of a metal base are optionally included by reacting an excess of a metal compound, such as an oxide or hydroxide, with an acidic gas such as carbon dioxide to give an overbased detergent which comprises neutralised surfactant as the outer layer of a metal base (e.g. carbonate) micelle. In this invention, the detergent may be a surfactant, partially neutralised surfactant, fully neutralised surfactant or overbased neutralised surfactant.
- If neutralised, the detergent is preferably an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal additive such as a neutral or overbased oil-soluble or oil-dispersible calcium, magnesium, sodium or barium salt of a phenol, wherein any overbasing is provided by an oil-insoluble salt of the metal, e.g. carbonate, basic carbonate, acetate, formate, hydroxide or oxalate, which is stabilized in an oleaginous diluent by the oil-soluble salt of the surfactant. Preferably the metal is calcium.
- The TBN of the detergent may be low, i.e. less than 50 mg KOH/g, medium, i.e. 50 to 150 mg KOH/g, or high, i.e. over 150 mg KOH/g, on an active ingredients basis as determined by ASTM D2896.
- In this invention, the sulfurised alkylphenol detergent additive may have been oxyalkylated by reaction with 10 to 50, such as 15 to 40 or 20 to 30, % by mass of an alkylene carbonate relative to the detergent additive on an active ingredients basis.
- When the lubricant is a marine diesel cylinder lubricant, the TBN of the lubricant is preferably in the range of 5 to 160, and the total detergent concentration in the additive package is preferably from greater than 50 up to 99, such as 60 to 98 or 70 to 95, as a percentage by mass of the total active ingredient.
- The lubricant may further comprise an overbased sulfonate (preferably calcium) detergent, for example having a TBN in the range of 250 to 800 on an active ingredients basis and, for example, in a concentration of 20 to 95, such as 30 to 90 or 40 to 85, % as a percentage by mass of the total active ingredient.
- The lubricant may further comprise a non-sulfurized oxyalkylated alkylphenol such as in a concentration of 0.01 to 10% as a percentage by mass of the total active ingredient.
- The lubricant may further comprise a borated or non-borated dispersant additive, such as a polyalkenyl succinimide.
- The invention is applicable to lubricants for a range of internal combustion engines (spark-ignited or compression-ignited) such as motor vehicle engines and marine engines. Of the latter, there may be mentioned two-stroke marine diesel cross-head engines and marine trunk piston engines.
- Cross-head engines are slow engines with a high to very high power range. They include two separately-lubricated parts: the piston/cylinder assembly lubricated, with total-loss lubrication, by a highly viscous oil (an MDCL); and the crankshaft lubricated by a less viscous lubricant, usually referred to as a system oil. The MDCL lubricates the inner walls of the engine cylinder and the piston ring pack.
- Marine cylinder lubricants are routinely formulated with high base number metal detergents as the main additive constituents to neutralise the acid produced from the high sulfur fuels used in operation of the engines.
- Wear has become more of a problem due to changes in cross-head diesel engine design. Thus, the MDCL needs to withstand varying engine operating temperatures and increased combustion pressure, which may impact on how well the lubricant film is maintained on the cylinder liner walls. This, in consequence, may lead to excessive wear. An additive with antiwear properties and that is compatible with the MDCL environment would be of high value in the lubricant industry.
- The invention will now be illustrated in the following non-limiting examples.
- A dispersant is an additive whose primary function is to hold solid and liquid contaminations in suspension, thereby passivating them and reducing engine deposits at the same time as reducing sludge depositions. For example, a dispersant maintains in suspension oil-insoluble substances that result from oxidation during use of the lubricant, thus preventing sludge flocculation and precipitation or deposition on metal parts of the engine.
- Dispersants are usually "ashless", being non-metallic organic materials that form substantially no ash on combustion. They comprise a long hydrocarbon chain with a polar head, the polarity being derived from inclusion of e.g. an O, P, or N atom. The hydrocarbon is an oleophilic group that confers oil-solubility, having, for example 40 to 500 carbon atoms. Thus, ashless dispersants may comprise an oil-soluble polymeric backbone.
- A preferred class of olefin polymers is constituted by polybutenes, specifically polyisobutenes (PIB) or poly-n-butenes, such as may be prepared by polymerization of a C4 refinery stream.
- Dispersants include, for example, derivatives of long chain hydrocarbon-substituted carboxylic acids, examples being derivatives of high molecular weight hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid. A noteworthy group of dispersants is constituted by hydrocarbon-substituted succinimides, made, for example, by reacting the above acids (or derivatives) with a nitrogen-containing compound, advantageously a polyalkylene polyamine, such as a polyethylene polyamine. Particularly preferred are the reaction products of polyalkylene polyamines with alkenyl succinic anhydrides, such as described in
US-A-3,202,678 ; -3,154,560 ; -3,172,892 ; -3,024,195 ; -3,024,237 , -3,219,666 ; and -3,216,936 . - Hydrocarbon-substituted succinimides such as those described above may be post-treated to improve their properties, such as through boration (as described in
USA-3,087,936 and -3,254,025 ). For example, boration may be accomplished by treating an acyl nitrogen-containing dispersant with a boron compound selected from boron oxide, boron halides, boron acids and esters of boron acids. - Sulfonate detergents are metal salts and may contain a substantially stoichiometric amount of the metal when they are usually described as normal or neutral salts and would typically have a total base number or TBN (as may be measured by ASTM D2896) of from 0 to 80. Large amounts of a metal base can be included by reaction of an excess of a metal compound, such as an oxide or hydroxide, with an acidic gas such as carbon dioxide. The resulting overbased detergent comprises neutralised detergent as an outer layer of a metal base (e.g. carbonate) micelle. Such overbased sulfonate detergents may have a TBN of 150 or greater, and typically of from 250 to 800 or more on an active ingredient basis.
- Sulfonate detergents that may be used include oil-soluble neutral and overbased sulfonates of a metal, particularly the alkali or alkaline earth metals, e.g. sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium and magnesium. The most commonly-used metals are calcium and magnesium, which may both be present in detergents used in a lubricant.

- Sulfonate Detergent B is an overbased calcium sulfonate detergent. It is characterised by a TBN of 650 to 750 on an active ingredients basis.
- Phenate Detergent A is an overbased sulfurized calcium phenate detergent derived from tetrapropenylphenol. The detergent is synthesised according to well established single stage methods (i.e. sulfurization and overbasing stages are conducted simultaneously as described in
EP 2682451 B1 ). It is characterised by a TBN of 400 to 450 on an active ingredients basis. -
- Phenate Detergent B is an overbased sulfurized calcium phenate detergent derived from tetrapropenylphenol. The detergent is synthesised according to well established two stage methods (i.e. sulfurization and overbasing stages are conducted independently as described in

It is characterised by a TBN of 375 to 425 on an active ingredients basis. - Capped Phenate Detergent B is derived from Phenate Detergent B described above, which has been subsequently oxyalkylated by reaction with 10 to 50, such as 15 to 40 or 20 to 30, % by mass of an alkylene carbonate relative to the detergent additive on an active ingredients basis. It is characterised by a TBN of 325 to 375 on an active ingredients basis.

- Wear inhibitors reduce friction and excessive wear and are usually based on compounds containing sulfur or phosphorus or both, for example that are capable of depositing polysulfide films on the surfaces involved. Noteworthy are the dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates, such as the zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates (ZDDPs). ZDDPs may be prepared in accordance with known techniques by first forming a dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphoric acid (DDPA), usually by reaction of one or more alcohols or a phenol with P2S5, and then neutralising the formed DDPA with a zinc compound. For example, a dithiophosphoric acid may be made by reaction with mixtures of primary and secondary alcohols. Alternatively, multiple dithiophosphoric acids can be prepared where the hydrocarbyl groups on one acid are entirely secondary in character and the hydrocarbyl groups on the other acids are entirely primary in character. To make the zinc salt, any basic or neutral zinc compound could be used but the oxides, hydroxides and carbonates are most generally employed. Commercial additives frequently contain an excess of zinc due to use of an excess of the basic zinc compound in the neutralisation reaction.

EP2719751 A2 ) has been developed to evaluate cylinder oils in terms of their ability to prevent breakdown of the lubricating film at elevated temperatures. - The HT-HFRR rig is run at elevated temperatures and the friction coefficient (Fc) is recorded. The friction co-efficient decreases with increasing temperature due to the viscosity decrease of the MDCL, until a temperature at which oil film break-down begins and the friction coefficient (Fc) starts to increase with increasing temperature. By evaluating oils of known field performance in the HT-HFRR rig, it was demonstrated that one of the most critical points to predict oil performance is the temperature at which the lowest friction coefficient (Fc) is recorded.
- The test was performed under the following conditions:
- An electromagnetic vibrator oscillated a steel ball over a small amplitude while pressing it with a load of 4N against a stationary steel disc.
- The lower fixed disc was heated electrically and fixed below the MDCL. The temperature was ramped from 80°C to 380°C over the course of 15 minutes.
- Results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below, giving respective results for formulation sets 1, 2, 3 and 4. HT-HFRR values are displayed as temperature (°C) at minimum friction, where a higher value indicates superior wear protection performance.
