Definitions

  • This invention relates to a lubricant composition comprising a copolymer, a method for its production and its uses.
  • lubricating oils need additional properties to be used effectively.
  • lubricants used in large diesel engines such as, for example, marine diesel engines, are often subjected to operating conditions requiring special considerations.
  • Two-stroke marine engines are of crosshead design also named slow-speed engines, they are used for the largest, deep ocean going vessels and certain other industrial applications.
  • Two-stroke Slow-speed engines are unique in size and method of operation. The output of these engines can be as high as 100,000 horsepower (84MW) with engine revolutions of 80 to about 200 revolutions per minute (rpm).
  • Two-stroke Slow-speed marine engines have a high to very high power range (600 to 6000 kW per cylinder).
  • the cylinders are lubricated on a total loss basis with the cylinder oil being injected separately into each cylinder by means of lubricators positioned around the cylinder liner. Oil is distributed to the lubricators by means of pumps, which are, in modern engine designs, actuated to apply the oil directly onto the rings to reduce oil wastage.
  • the unique design of these engines creates the need for lubricants with enhanced rheological properties. Accordingly, lubricants used in a marine engine must protect the engine parts from corrosion which can reduce engine efficiency and lifetime. Also, the residual fuels commonly used in these diesel engines typically contain significant quantities of sulfur. During the combustion process, the sulfur oxide can combine with water to form sulfuric acid, the presence of which leads to corrosive wear.
  • the lubricant is applied to the cylinder wall, typically by a pulse lubricating system or by spraying the lubricant onto the piston's rings pack through an injector.
  • the lubrication in a two-stroke marine engine differs significantly from any other type of engine. A defined volume per x stroke of lubricant is injected or sprayed on the piston's rings pack and spread most of the time horizontally by the sprayer or injector and also spread vertically by the piston rings when the piston is in its upward motion onto the cylinder liner.
  • said system may not guarantee accessibility of the lubricant over the entire cylinder liner surface because the lubricant is not sufficiently well spread on the liner surface after its delivery. Further, the use of said system for spraying lubricant over the liner surface underlines that although the lubricant is not well spread, the property of well self-spreading of the lubricant is not sufficient. This induces a large efficiency drop of the lubrication process and an increase the corrosion of the corrosion process in marine engines.
  • a lubricant additive that will provide effective corrosion resistance. Additionally, there is a need for a lubricant additive that will provide any rheology improvements, notably spreading and self-spreading rheology, in order to enhance lubricating efficacy and reduce the corrosion.
  • the term "spreading rheology property" of the lubricant means the rheological property of the lubricant after its spreading on the cylinder liner surface.
