Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to lubricating oil compositions for marine diesel internal combustion engines.
  • Marine diesel internal combustion engines may generally be classified as low- speed, medium-speed, or high-speed engines, with the low-speed variety being used for the largest, deep draft marine vessels and certain other industrial applications such as power generation applications.
  • Low-speed diesel engines are unique in size and method of operation. These engines are quite large and typically operate in the range of about 60 to about 200 revolutions per minute.
  • a low-speed diesel engine operates on the two-stroke cycle and is typically a direct-coupled and direct-reversing engine of "crosshead" construction, with a diaphragm and one or more stuffing boxes separating the power cylinders from the crankcase to prevent combustion products from entering the crankcase and mixing with the crankcase oil.
  • Marine two-stroke diesel cylinder lubricants must meet performance demands in order to comply with severe operating conditions required for more modern larger bore engines which are run at high outputs, severe loads and higher temperatures of the cylinder liner.
  • crankcase The complete separation of the crankcase from the combustion zone has led persons skilled in the art to lubricate the combustion chamber and the crankcase with different lubricating oils, a cylinder lubricant and system oil respectively, due to the unique requirements of each type of lubricant.
  • the cylinders are lubricated on a total loss basis with the cylinder oil being injected separately on each cylinder, by means of lubricators positioned around the cylinder liner. Cylinder lubricant is not recirculated and is combusted along with the fuel.
  • the cylinder lubricant needs to provide a strong film between the cylinder liner and the piston rings for sufficient lubrication of the cylinder walls to prevent scuffing, be thermally stable in order that the lubricant does not form deposits on the hot surfaces of the piston and the piston rings, and be able to neutralize sulfur-based acidic products of combustion. This neutralization has typically been accomplished by the inclusion of basic species such as metallic detergents.
  • the basicity of the marine cylinder lubricant can be diminished by oxidat ion of the marine cylinder lubricant (caused by the thermal and oxidative stress the lubricant undergoes in the engine), thus decreasing the lubricant's neutralization ability.
  • the oxidation can be accelerated if the marine cylinder lubricants contain oxidation catalysts such as wear metals that are generally known to be present in the lubricant during engine operation.
  • oxidation catalysts such as wear metals that are generally known to be present in the lubricant during engine operation.
  • the system oil lubricates the crankshaft and the crosshead of a two-stroke engine. It lubricates the main bearings, the crosshead bearings, gears and the camshaft and it cools the piston undercrown and protects the crankcase against corrosion.
  • a system oil needs to be able to prevent corrosion of metal in the bearing shells and to prevent rust in the crankcase when in the presence of contaminated water.
  • the system oil also needs to provide adequate hydrodynamic lubrication of the bearings and have an anti-wear system sufficient to provide wear protection to the bearings and gears under extreme pressure conditions.
  • system oil In contrast to a cylinder lubricant, system oil is not exposed to the combustion chamber where fuels are being combusted and is formulated to last as long as possible to maximize the lifetime of the oil. Therefore, the primary performance characteristics of system oils are related to wear protection, oxidative stability, viscosity increase control and deposit performance.
  • trunk piston engines typically operate in the range of about 250 to about 1100 rpm and operate on the four-stroke cycle. These engines are typically of the trunk piston design. In trunk piston engines, a single lubricating oil is employed for lubrication of all areas of the engine, as opposed to the crosshead engines. A trunk piston engine oil therefore has unique requirements. Key performance parameters for operating trunk piston engines include: deposit control of the piston cooling gallery and piston ring pack, oxidation and viscosity increase control, and sludge control. For marine residual fuels operation, these performance parameters are almost exclusively driven by asphaltenes contamination from, marine residual fuels.
  • Lubricants for the lubrication of marine diesel internal combustion engines have high viscosity industry requirements, due to low-operating speeds and high loads, and are typically high viscosity monograde (i.e. one which e hibits little or no viscosity index improvement properties) lubricants of the SAE 20, SAE 30, SAE 40, SAE 50 or SAE 60 viscosity grade. Because hydrocracking results in a viscosity loss o the base stocks, marine oils generally cannot be formulated solely with hydrocracked base stocks, but require the use o significant amounts of bright stock. However, the reliance on bright stock is not always desirable because of the presence of oxidatively unstable aromatics. In addition, the availability of brightstock is diminishing, resulting in high volume uses such as those for marine engines, requiring alternative solutions to impart the desired viscometrics in lubricants.
  • foaming performance Another important performance aspect of marine diesel lubricants is foaming performance. Foam forms when a large amount of gas is entrained in a liquid. While foaming is desirable in certain applications, such as floatation, washing and cleaning, it can be undesirable in lubricant-related applications where foaming can be an impediment because it leads to ineffective lubrication.
  • the viscosity and surface tension of a lubricant contribute to the stability of the foam.
  • Low- viscosity oils produce foams with large bubbles, which tend to break quickly and be minimally problematic.
  • high-viscosity oils such as those used as marine lubricants, generate stable foams that contain fine bubbles and are difficult to break. Over time, foaming may also accelerate oxidative degradation of the lubricant and in addition may have effects on the transporting and pumping ability of the oil.

  • the Komatsu Hot Tube test is a lubrication industry bench test that measures the degree of high temperature detergency and thermal and oxidative stability of a lubricating oil. During the test, a specified amount of test oil is pumped upwards through a glass tube that is placed inside an oven set at a certain temperature. Air is introduced in the oil stream before the oil enters the glass tube, and flows upward with the oil. Evaluations of the marine trunk piston engine lubricating oils were conducted at temperatures between 300-320°C. After cooling and washing, the test result is determined by comparing the amount of lacquer deposited on the glass test tube to a rating scale ranging from 1.0 (very black) to 10.0 (perfectly clean). The result is reported in multiples of 0.5.
  • Blockage is deposition below a 1.0 result, in which case the lacquer is very thick and dark but still allows fluid flow, although at a rate that is completely unsatisfactory for a usable oil.
  • the DSC test is used to evaluate thin film oxidation stability of test oils, in accordance with ASTM D-6186. Heat flow to and from test oil in a sample cup is compared to a reference cup during the test.
  • the Oxidation Onset Temperature is the temperature at which the oxidation of the test oil starts.
  • the Oxidation Induction Time is the time at which the oxidation of the test oil starts. A higher oxidation induction time means better performance. The oxidation reaction results in an exothermic reaction which is clearly shown by the heat flow.
  • the Oxidation Induction Time is calculated to evaluate the thin film oxidation stability of the test oil.
  • This test is used to evaluate the ability of marine lubricants to cope with unstable— unbumed asphaltenes in the residual fuel oil.
  • the test measures the tendency of lubricants to cause deposits on a test strip, by applying oxidative thermal strain on a mixture of heavy fuel oil and lubricant.
  • a sample of a marine lubricant oil composition was mixed with a specific amount of marine residual fuel to form test mixtures.
  • the test mixture is pumped during the test as a thin film over a metal test strip, which is controlled at test temperature (200° C.) for a period of time (12 hours).
  • the test oil- fuel mixture is recycled into the sample vessel.
  • the test strip is cooled and then washed and dried.
  • the test plates are then weighed. In this manner, the weight of the deposit remaining on the test plates was measured and recorded as the change in weight of the test plate.
