Description

COMPOSITION LUBRIFIANTE COMPRENANT UN DIESTER  LUBRICATING COMPOSITION COMPRISING A DIESTER
La présente invention concerne le domaine des compositions lubrifiantes pour moteur, en particulier pour moteur de véhicule automobile. Elle vise en particulier à proposer une composition lubrifiante dotée de performances améliorées notamment en termes de gain de propreté moteur et de réduction de consommation de carburant. The present invention relates to the field of engine lubricating compositions, in particular for a motor vehicle engine. It aims in particular to provide a lubricant composition with improved performance, particularly in terms of improved engine cleanliness and reduced fuel consumption.
Les compositions lubrifiantes, dites encore « les lubrifiants », sont communément mises en œuvre dans les moteurs à des fins principales de réduction des forces de frottements entre les différentes pièces métalliques en mouvement dans les moteurs. Elles sont en outre efficaces pour prévenir une usure prématurée voire un endommagement de ces pièces, et en particulier de leur surface.  Lubricating compositions, also called "lubricants", are commonly used in engines for the main purpose of reducing the friction forces between the various moving metal parts in the engines. They are also effective to prevent premature wear or damage to these parts, especially their surface.
Pour ce faire, une composition lubrifiante est classiquement composée d'une huile de base à laquelle sont généralement associés plusieurs additifs dédiés à stimuler les performances lubrifiantes de l'huile de base, comme par exemple des additifs modificateurs de frottement, mais aussi à procurer des performances supplémentaires. Par exemple, des additifs détergents sont très souvent considérés afin d'éviter la formation de dépôts à la surface des pièces métalliques par dissolution des produits secondaires d'oxydation et de combustion.  To do this, a lubricant composition is conventionally composed of a base oil to which are generally associated several additives dedicated to boosting the lubricating performance of the base oil, such as friction modifying additives, but also to provide additional performance. For example, detergent additives are very often considered in order to avoid the formation of deposits on the surface of the metal parts by dissolving the secondary products of oxidation and combustion.
Pour des raisons évidentes, l'amélioration des performances des lubrifiants relève d'une préoccupation constante. En particulier, pour répondre aux exigences environnementales croissantes, on recherche de plus en plus à réduire la consommation en carburant des véhicules.  For obvious reasons, improving the performance of lubricants is a constant concern. In particular, to meet increasing environmental requirements, there is increasing interest in reducing vehicle fuel consumption.
A ce titre, il est connu que les compositions lubrifiantes représentent un moyen efficace pour agir sur la consommation de carburant via leur impact sur les forces de frottements générées entre les différentes pièces d'un moteur. On sait en particulier que la qualité des huiles de base, seules ou en combinaison avec des polymères améliorant d'indice de viscosité et des additifs modificateurs de frottement, est particulièrement déterminante pour obtenir un gain de consommation de carburant.  As such, it is known that the lubricant compositions represent an effective means for acting on the fuel consumption via their impact on the friction forces generated between the different parts of an engine. In particular, it is known that the quality of the base oils, alone or in combination with viscosity index improving polymers and friction modifying additives, is particularly decisive in order to obtain a saving in fuel consumption.
Ainsi des compositions lubrifiantes, dites « Fuel-Eco » (FE) (pour « fuel economy » en terminologie anglo-saxonne), ont déjà été développées. Le grade plus ou moins fluide de l'huile de base est notamment déterminant pour accéder à de tels lubrifiants « Fuel-Eco ». Par ailleurs, certains monoesters utilisés dans les lubrifiants sont solides à température ambiante, ce qui pose des problèmes de pompabilité à froid des lubrifiants et, de plus, de tels lubrifiants ne remplissent pas les critères de la SAEJ300. Thus lubricating compositions, called "Fuel-Eco" (FE) (for "fuel economy" in English terminology), have already been developed. The more or less fluid grade of the base oil is particularly decisive for accessing such "Fuel-Eco" lubricants. On the other hand, some monoesters used in lubricants are solid at room temperature, which poses problems of cold pumpability of the lubricants and, moreover, such lubricants do not meet the SAEJ300 criteria.
On connaît également, de la demande de brevet EP 2 913 386, une composition lubrifiante comprenant de 50 à 97 % en poids d'une huile de base et de 3 à 50 % en poids du 2-éthylhéxyl sébaçate ayant des propriétés de Fuel-Eco.  Patent application EP 2 913 386 also discloses a lubricating composition comprising from 50 to 97% by weight of a base oil and from 3 to 50% by weight of 2-ethylhexyl sebacate having fuel-oil properties. Eco.
Pour ce qui est des casses moteurs, elles sont le plus souvent la conséquence d'un encrassement du moteur. Il est de fait souhaitable de disposer de compositions lubrifiantes permettant une amélioration de la propreté moteur.  As for the breakage engines, they are most often the consequence of a clogging of the engine. It is in fact desirable to have lubricating compositions for improving engine cleanliness.
L'invention vise précisément à proposer une composition lubrifiante, en particulier dédiée à un moteur de véhicule, qui combine à la fois des propriétés améliorées en termes d'économie de carburant et de propreté moteur. The invention aims precisely to provide a lubricant composition, in particular dedicated to a vehicle engine, which combines both properties improved in terms of fuel economy and engine cleanliness.
Contre toute attente, les inventeurs ont découvert qu'il est possible d'accéder à des compositions lubrifiantes, dont l'efficacité est accrue en termes de gain de propreté moteur, sous réserve d'y considérer la mise en œuvre d'un diester spécifique, et qui présentent des performances en termes de gain de consommation de carburant équivalentes, voire supérieures, à celles des compositions lubrifiantes dites « Fuel-Eco ».  Unexpectedly, the inventors have discovered that it is possible to access lubricating compositions, the effectiveness of which is increased in terms of gain in engine cleanliness, subject to considering the implementation of a specific diester , and which have performance in terms of fuel consumption gain equivalent to or even greater than that of lubricating compositions called "Fuel-Eco".

Les compositions lubrifiantes, incorporant un tel diester de formule (I), en particulier de formule (F) précitée, s'avèrent particulièrement efficaces pour leur mise en œuvre comme lubrifiant d'un moteur, en particulier d'un moteur de véhicule.  The lubricating compositions, incorporating such a diester of formula (I), in particular of formula (F) above, prove to be particularly effective for their use as lubricant of an engine, in particular of a vehicle engine.
La présente invention concerne ainsi, selon un autre de ses aspects, l'utilisation d'une composition telle que décrite précédemment comme lubrifiant d'un moteur, en particulier d'un moteur de véhicule.  The present invention thus relates, in another of its aspects, to the use of a composition as described above as a lubricant for an engine, in particular a vehicle engine.
En particulier, comme il ressort des exemples ci-après, les inventeurs ont constaté qu'une composition lubrifiante de grade selon la classification SAEJ300 défini par la formule (X)W(Y), dans laquelle X représente 0 ou 5 ; et Y représente un nombre entier allant de 4 à 20 et contenant au moins un diester conforme à l'invention manifeste des propriétés améliorées comparativement à celles observées avec des compositions lubrifiantes comprenant des mono-esters ou di-esters autres que ceux de l'invention ou tri- esters, à la fois en termes de réduction de la consommation de carburant (propriétés de « Fuel-Eco ») et de propreté moteur.  In particular, as is apparent from the examples below, the inventors have found that a grade lubricating composition according to the classification SAEJ300 defined by the formula (X) W (Y), in which X represents 0 or 5; and Y represents an integer ranging from 4 to 20 and containing at least one diester according to the invention having improved properties compared with those observed with lubricating compositions comprising monoesters or diesters other than those of the invention or tri-esters, both in terms of reducing fuel consumption (fuel-eco properties) and engine cleanliness.
Certes, le document GB 716 086 daté de 1951 propose de mettre en œuvre un diester dans des compositions lubrifiantes. Toutefois, cette utilisation est considérée dans un contexte très différent de celui de l'invention. Tout d'abord, les compositions lubrifiantes considérées dans le brevet GB 716 086 sont non conformes à celles considérées selon l'invention et notamment destinées à être utilisées dans des moteurs d'avions qui sont exposés à de très grandes variations de température. Les esters synthétiques y sont décrits comme étant plus intéressants que les huiles minérales dans la mesure où ils possèdent des indices de viscosité et des points éclairs élevés, et des points d'écoulement plus faibles que les huiles minérales de viscosité comparable.  Admittedly, GB 716 086 dated 1951 proposes to use a diester in lubricating compositions. However, this use is considered in a context very different from that of the invention. Firstly, the lubricant compositions considered in GB 716 086 are not in conformity with those considered according to the invention and in particular intended to be used in aircraft engines which are exposed to very large temperature variations. Synthetic esters are described as being more valuable than mineral oils in that they have higher viscosity indexes and flash points, and lower pour points than mineral oils of comparable viscosity.
Dans le cadre de l'invention, les compositions lubrifiantes considérées sont de grade selon la classification SAEJ300 défini par la formule (X)W(Y), dans laquelle X représente 0 ou 5 ; et Y représente un nombre entier allant de 4 à 20. Ce grade qualifie une sélection de compositions lubrifiantes spécifiquement destinées à une application moteur de véhicule automobile et qui satisfont notamment à des spécificités quantifiées vis-à-vis de différents paramètres tels que la viscosité à froid au démarrage, la pompabilité à froid, la viscosité cinématique à faible taux de cisaillement et la viscosité dynamique à fort taux de cisaillement. In the context of the invention, the lubricating compositions in question are of grade according to the SAEJ300 classification defined by the formula (X) W (Y), in which X represents 0 or 5; and Y represents an integer ranging from 4 to 20. This grade qualifies a selection of lubricating compositions specifically intended for a motor vehicle engine application and which satisfy, in particular, quantified specificities with respect to different parameters such as cold start viscosity, cold pumpability, low shear kinematic viscosity and dynamic high shear viscosity.
De manière avantageuse, la mise en œuvre d'un diester de formule (I) tel que définie ci-dessus, et en particulier de formule (F) précitée, en tant qu'additif dans une composition lubrifiante de grade considéré selon l'invention permet de réduire la consommation de carburant d'un moteur. Autrement dit, les compositions lubrifiantes de l'invention répondent à la qualification de « Fuel-Eco », en ce qu'elles permettent d'accéder à une consommation réduite de carburant.  Advantageously, the use of a diester of formula (I) as defined above, and in particular of formula (F) above, as an additive in a lubricant composition of grade considered according to the invention reduces the fuel consumption of an engine. In other words, the lubricant compositions of the invention meet the qualification of "Fuel-Eco", in that they provide access to reduced fuel consumption.
Ainsi, selon un autre de ses aspects, l'invention vise encore l'utilisation d'un diester de formule (I) tel que défini précédemment, et en particulier de formule (F) précitée, comme additif dans une composition lubrifiante de grade selon la classification SAEJ300 défini par la formule (X)W(Y), dans laquelle X représente 0 ou 5, et Y représente un nombre entier allant de 4 à 20, et dédiée à un moteur, en particulier à un moteur de véhicule, pour réduire la consommation de carburant du moteur.  Thus, according to another of its aspects, the invention also relates to the use of a diester of formula (I) as defined above, and in particular of formula (F) above, as an additive in a lubricating composition of grade according to the classification SAEJ300 defined by the formula (X) W (Y), in which X represents 0 or 5, and Y represents an integer ranging from 4 to 20, and dedicated to an engine, in particular to a vehicle engine, for reduce the fuel consumption of the engine.
Egalement, comme illustré dans les exemples qui suivent, l'utilisation d'un tel diester, présentant de bonnes propriétés de détergence, dans une composition lubrifiante selon l'invention permet avantageusement d'améliorer la propreté moteur.  Also, as illustrated in the examples which follow, the use of such a diester, having good detergency properties, in a lubricant composition according to the invention advantageously makes it possible to improve engine cleanliness.
Ainsi, l'invention concerne, selon encore un autre de ses aspects, l'utilisation d'un diester de formule (I) tel que défini précédemment, et en particulier de formule (F) précitée, comme additif dans une composition lubrifiante de grade selon la classification SAEJ300 défini par la formule (X)W(Y), dans laquelle X représente 0 ou 5, et Y représente un nombre entier allant de 4 à 20, et dédiée à un moteur, en particulier à un moteur de véhicule, pour améliorer la propreté moteur.  Thus, according to yet another of its aspects, the invention relates to the use of a diester of formula (I) as defined above, and in particular of formula (F) above, as an additive in a grade lubricant composition. according to the classification SAEJ300 defined by the formula (X) W (Y), in which X represents 0 or 5, and Y represents an integer ranging from 4 to 20, and dedicated to an engine, in particular to a vehicle engine, to improve engine cleanliness.

Other characteristics, variants and advantages of the lubricating compositions according to the invention will emerge more clearly on reading the description and the examples which follow, given by way of illustration and not limitation of the invention.

TABLEAU 5 TABLE 5
Ces résultats démontrent que les gains en friction pour les compositions C2 et C3 comprenant un ester selon l'invention sont bien plus importants que les gains en friction obtenus avec les compositions comparatives CC4 ne comprenant pas d'ester ainsi que CC5 et CC6 comprenant un ester différent de ceux de l'invention. These results demonstrate that the friction gains for the compositions C2 and C3 comprising an ester according to the invention are much greater than the friction gains obtained with the comparative compositions CC4 not comprising an ester and CC5 and CC6 comprising an ester different from those of the invention.
Ces résultats démontrent également que les compositions comparatives CC4 à CC6 ne présentent non pas des gains en friction, mais des pertes en friction, ce qui implique que les compositions comparatives CC4 à CC6 ne permettent pas de faire du Fuel Eco mais bien au contraire entraîne une surconsommation de carburant par rapport à la composition de référence.  These results also demonstrate that the comparative compositions CC4 to CC6 do not exhibit friction gains, but losses in friction, which implies that the comparative compositions CC4 to CC6 do not make it possible to make fuel Eco but on the contrary leads to overconsumption of fuel compared to the reference composition.
Il est entendu que plus les gains en friction sont importants, plus l'économie de carburant ou Fuel Eco est importante. Ceci implique donc que les compositions selon l'invention permettent d'augmenter le Fuel Eco contrairement aux compositions ne comprenant pas d'ester ou des esters différents des esters de l'invention, tel que le 2- éthylhexyl sébaçate.  It is understood that the greater the friction gains, the greater the fuel economy or Fuel Eco is important.

- mesure du couple de friction aux quatre températures différentes indiquées ci- dessous sur le moteur mettant en œuvre la composition lubrifiante de référence.  measuring the friction torque at the four different temperatures indicated below on the engine using the reference lubricant composition.
Les plages de régime, la variation du régime ainsi que la température ont été choisies pour couvrir, de la manière la plus représentative possible, les points du cycle certifié NEDC.  The speed ranges, the variation of the speed as well as the temperature were chosen to cover, in the most representative way possible, the points of the NEDC certified cycle.
Les instructions mises en œuvre sont :  The instructions implemented are:
- Température de l'eau en sortie du moteur : 35°C/50°C ± 0,5°C,  - Engine outlet water temperature: 35 ° C / 50 ° C ± 0.5 ° C,
- Rampe de température de l'huile : 35°C/50°C ± 0,5°C.  - Oil temperature ramp: 35 ° C / 50 ° C ± 0.5 ° C.
Le gain en friction est évalué pour chaque composition lubrifiante (C4 et CC7) en fonction de la température et de la vitesse du moteur et en comparaison de la friction de la composition lubrifiante de référence.  The friction gain is evaluated for each lubricant composition (C4 and CC7) as a function of the temperature and the speed of the engine and in comparison with the friction of the reference lubricant composition.
Les résultats du test de « Fuel Eco » sont résumés dans le tableau 5 suivant, et indiquent les moyennes en pourcentage des gains en friction pour chaque composition à une température donnée sur une plage de régime allant de 650 tr/min à 5000 tr/min :  The results of the "Fuel Eco" test are summarized in the following Table 5, and indicate the percentage means of the friction gains for each composition at a given temperature over a speed range of 650 rpm to 5000 rpm. :
TABLEAU 6 Ces résultats démontrent que les gains en friction pour la composition C4 comprenant un mélange d'esters selon l'invention sont bien plus importants que les gains en friction obtenus avec la composition comparative CC7 comprenant comme ester, le 2- éthylhéxyl sébaçate, différent de ceux de l'invention. TABLE 6 These results demonstrate that the friction gains for the composition C4 comprising a mixture of esters according to the invention are much greater than the gains in friction obtained with the comparative composition CC7 comprising, as ester, 2-ethylhexyl sebacate, which is different from those of the invention.
II est entendu que plus les gains en friction sont importants, plus l'économie de carburant ou Fuel Eco est importante. Ceci implique donc que les compositions selon l'invention permettent d'augmenter le Fuel Eco contrairement aux compositions ne comprenant pas d'ester ou des esters différents des esters de l'invention, tel que le 2- éthylhexyl sébaçate.  It is understood that the greater the friction gains, the greater the fuel economy or Fuel Eco is important. This therefore implies that the compositions according to the invention make it possible to increase the Fuel Eco in contrast to the compositions comprising no ester or esters different from the esters of the invention, such as 2-ethylhexyl sebacate.

Evaluation des propriétés d'amélioration de la propreté d'un moteur d'une composition lubrifiante selon l'invention C5 et d'une composition lubrifiante comparative CC8  Evaluation of the properties of improvement of the cleanliness of an engine of a lubricating composition according to the invention C5 and a comparative lubricating composition CC8
Les performances en propreté moteur sur les compositions lubrifiantes C5 et Engine Clean Performance on C5 Lubricant Compositions and
CC8 sont évaluées selon la méthode suivante. CC8 are evaluated according to the following method.
Chaque composition lubrifiante (10 Kg) est évaluée lors d'un essai de propreté d'un moteur diesel à rampe d'injection commune (common rail) pour automobile. Le moteur a une cylindrée de 1,4 L pour 4 cylindres. Sa puissance est de 80 kW. La durée de cycle de l'essai est de 96 heures en alternant régime de ralenti et régime de 4 000 tours/min. La température de la composition lubrifiante est de 145 °C et la température de l'eau du système de refroidissement est de 100 °C. Aucune vidange, ni aucun appoint de composition lubrifiante ne sont effectués durant l'essai. On utilise du carburant EN 590.  Each lubricating composition (10 kg) is evaluated during a cleanliness test of a diesel engine with a common rail for cars. The engine has a displacement of 1.4 L for 4 cylinders. Its power is 80 kW. The cycle time of the test is 96 hours alternating idle speed and 4 000 rpm. The temperature of the lubricating composition is 145 ° C. and the temperature of the water of the cooling system is 100 ° C. No emptying or extra makeup composition is performed during the test. EN 590 fuel is used.
L'essai se déroule en deux phases pour une durée totale de 106 heures et selon une première étape de rinçage et de rodage durant 10 heures puis selon une deuxième étape avec la composition évaluée (4 kg), enfin selon une étape d'endurance d'une durée de 96 heures avec la composition évaluée (4 kg).  The test is carried out in two phases for a total duration of 106 hours and according to a first rinsing and lapping step for 10 hours and then in a second step with the evaluated composition (4 kg), finally according to an endurance stage of a duration of 96 hours with the evaluated composition (4 kg).
Après cet essai, les pièces moteurs ont été analysées et les 4 pistons cotés selon la norme européenne CEC M02A78. Pour chaque piston, sa cotation du mérite est effectuée puis ensuite, une moyenne de la cotation du mérite piston total des 4 pistons est calculée.  After this test, the engine parts were analyzed and the 4 pistons rated according to the European standard CEC M02A78. For each piston, its merit score is made and then, an average of the rating of the total piston merit of the 4 pistons is calculated.
Les résultats obtenus sont regroupés dans le tableau 6. Le passage régulier d'une huile de référence a permis de démonter qu'un écart de 4 points entre deux candidats est significatif The results obtained are summarized in Table 6. The regular passage of a reference oil made it possible to demonstrate that a difference of 4 points between two candidates is significant
Plus la valeur de la moyenne de cotation du mérite est élevée, plus la propreté du piston est améliorée et par conséquent, meilleure est la performance de la composition lubrifiante pour améliorer la propreté moteur.  The higher the merit score average value, the better the piston cleanliness and therefore the better the performance of the lubricant composition to improve engine cleanliness.
