COMPOSITION LUBRIFIANTE POUR MOTEUR A GAZ  LUBRICATING COMPOSITION FOR GAS ENGINE
La présente invention concerne le domaine des lubrifiants pour moteur à gaz, préférentiellement pour moteur à gaz stationnaire. La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement l'utilisation d'une composition lubrifiante comprenant au moins une huile de base minérale et au moins un ester choisi parmi les esters de polyols pour lubrifier un moteur à gaz, préférentiellement pour moteur à gaz stationnaire. The present invention relates to the field of lubricants for gas engines, preferably for stationary gas engines. The present invention relates more particularly to the use of a lubricating composition comprising at least one mineral base oil and at least one ester chosen from polyol esters for lubricating a gas engine, preferably for a stationary gas engine.
La présente invention concerne également un procédé de lubrification d'un moteur à gaz, préférentiellement pour moteur à gaz stationnaire.  The present invention also relates to a method of lubricating a gas engine, preferably for a stationary gas engine.
Les lubrifiants développés spécifiquement pour la lubrification des moteurs à gaz, préférentiellement des moteurs à gaz stationnaires sont connus depuis plusieurs années. Les premiers lubrifiants dédiés à cette application contenaient des huiles de base de groupe I selon la classification API. Ces lubrifiants présentaient un bon comportement à haute température, notamment ne formaient pas ou peu de dépôts mais présentaient une tenue à l'oxydation limitée, notamment à la nitroxydation. Par nitroxydation, on entend l'oxydation par contact avec les oxydes d'azote (NOx). Lubricants developed specifically for the lubrication of gas engines, preferably stationary gas engines have been known for several years. The first lubricants dedicated to this application contained Group I base oils according to the API classification. These lubricants showed good behavior at high temperature, in particular did not form or few deposits but had a limited resistance to oxidation, including nitroxidation. By nitroxidation is meant oxidation by contact with nitrogen oxides (NOx).
Puis les lubrifiants ont incorporé des huiles de base de groupe II selon la classification API, permettant d'améliorer la tenue à l'oxydation. Toutefois, et en particulier sur les moteurs à gaz de très haute puissance, l'utilisation de ces lubrifiants a entraîné la formation de dépôt à haute température (ou de vernis). Il en est de même pour les lubrifiants à base d'huiles de base de groupe III et groupe IV selon la classification API. II existe donc un besoin de disposer de compositions lubrifiantes pour la lubrification de moteur à gaz, préférentiellement pour moteur à gaz stationnaire, présentant de bonnes propriétés de détergence et donc ne formant pas ou peu de dépôt, en particulier à haute température tout en présentant une tenue à l'oxydation, notamment à la nitroxydation, satisfaisante voire améliorée. The lubricants then incorporated Group II base oils according to the API classification, making it possible to improve the resistance to oxidation. However, and particularly on very high power gas engines, the use of these lubricants has resulted in the formation of high temperature (or varnish) deposition. It is the same for lubricants based on base oils of group III and group IV according to API classification. There is therefore a need for lubricating compositions for the lubrication of a gas engine, preferably for a stationary gas engine, having good detergency properties and thus forming no or little deposition, in particular at high temperature while presenting a resistance to oxidation, especially to nitroxidation, satisfactory or even improved.
Il a maintenant été trouvé que la combinaison d'au moins une huile de base minérale et d'au moins un ester choisi parmi les esters de polyols permet de fournir une composition lubrifiante dédiée à la lubrification des moteurs à gaz, préférentiellement des moteurs à gaz stationnaires, présentant une tenue à l'oxydation, notamment à la nitroxydation, satisfaisante voire améliorée et formant peu ou pas de dépôts, en particulier à haute température. It has now been found that the combination of at least one mineral base oil and at least one ester chosen from polyol esters makes it possible to provide a lubricating composition dedicated to the lubrication of gas engines, preferably gas engines. stationary, exhibiting resistance to oxidation, especially to nitroxidation, satisfactory or even improved and forming little or no deposits, especially at high temperature.
Ainsi, l'invention fournit une composition lubrifiante qui permet d'apporter une solution à tout ou partie des problèmes des compositions lubrifiantes destinées à la lubrification des moteurs à gaz, préférentiellement des moteurs à gaz stationnaires. Thus, the invention provides a lubricating composition which makes it possible to provide a solution to all or part of the problems of lubricating compositions intended for the lubrication of gas engines, preferably stationary gas engines.
La présente invention a donc pour objet l'utilisation d'une composition lubrifiante comprenant au moins une huile de base minérale et au moins un ester choisi parmi les esters de polyols pour lubrifier un moteur à gaz. The present invention therefore relates to the use of a lubricant composition comprising at least one mineral base oil and at least one ester chosen from polyol esters for lubricating a gas engine.
De manière surprenante, la demanderesse a constaté que la combinaison d'au moins une huile de base minérale et d'au moins un ester choisi parmi les esters de polyols dans une composition lubrifiante pour moteur à gaz, préférentiellement pour moteur à gaz stationnaire permet d'améliorer la tenue à l'oxydation, notamment à la nitroxydation, de la composition lubrifiante. Surprisingly, the applicant has found that the combination of at least one mineral base oil and at least one ester chosen from polyol esters in a lubricating composition for a gas engine, preferably for a stationary gas engine, makes it possible to to improve the resistance to oxidation, especially to nitroxidation, of the lubricating composition.
Avantageusement, les compositions lubrifiantes selon l'invention présentent à la fois une bonne tenue à l'oxydation, notamment à la nitroxydation, tout en réduisant, voire en supprimant, la formation de dépôts, en particulier à haute température. Advantageously, the lubricant compositions according to the invention have both good resistance to oxidation, especially to nitroxidation, while reducing or even eliminating the formation of deposits, especially at high temperature.
Avantageusement, les compositions lubrifiantes selon l'invention présentent de bonnes propriétés de tenue à l'oxydation, notamment à la nitroxydation, et de détergence une fois mise en œuvre dans un moteur à gaz et dont la formulation est facile à mettre en œuvre. Advantageously, the lubricant compositions according to the invention have good oxidation resistance properties, especially nitroxidation, and detergency once implemented in a gas engine and whose formulation is easy to implement.
Avantageusement, les compositions lubrifiantes selon l'invention présentent de bonnes propriétés de tenue à l'oxydation, notamment à la nitroxydation, et de détergence une fois mise en œuvre dans un moteur à gaz tout en étant stables dans le temps, notamment stables au stockage.

Exemple 2 : évaluation de la tenue à l'oxydation de la composition lubrifiante CL1 Example 2 Evaluation of the Oxidation Performance of the CL1 Lubricating Composition
Cette évaluation consiste à soumettre la composition lubrifiante à une oxydation aux oxydes d'azote à une température de 150°C et pendant 48 heures. This evaluation consists in subjecting the lubricating composition to oxidation with nitrogen oxides at a temperature of 150 ° C. and for 48 hours.
La tenue à l'oxydation est évaluée par mesure de la différence de viscosité cinématique à 100°C mesurée selon la norme ASTM D445 avant et après oxydation et exprimée en pourcentage d'augmentation de viscosité ; plus le pourcentage est faible, meilleure est la tenue à l'oxydation The resistance to oxidation is evaluated by measuring the difference in kinematic viscosity at 100 ° C. measured according to ASTM D445 before and after oxidation and expressed as a percentage of increase in viscosity; the lower the percentage, the better the resistance to oxidation
Un pourcentage d'augmentation de viscosité inférieur ou égal à 35% correspond à une tenue à l'oxydation acceptable.  A percentage increase in viscosity of less than or equal to 35% corresponds to acceptable oxidation resistance.
