Abstract
A gasoline and diesel fuel additive composition comprising solutions of a fuel-soluble platinum group metal compound in a solvent miscible in the diesel, the platinum group metal complex being present in an amount sufficient to supply from 0.01 to 1.0 parts per million of the platinum group metal when added to a predetermined amount of fuel. Preferred solvents are oxygenated hydrocarbons such as ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, and methyl tertiary butyl ether, and will preferably be employed in amounts of less than 5% of the weight of the gasoline to provide oxygen and the metal at a weight ratio of from 1,000:1 to 100,000:1. Especially preferred compounds are those of formula (I), wherein M is a platinum group metal and R is benzyl, phenyl or nitrobenzyl. The additive compositions and fuel treated therewith improve operating efficiency of internal combustion engines in terms of increased power output per unit of fuel burned and reduce the emissions of particulates and noxious gases such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide . The additives provide beneficial results upon immediate use and over long periods of continuous use.
[GB2178757A]
Description
' 58723 Technical Field The present invention relates to improving the performance of internal combustion engines, both gasoline and diesel; and, more particularly, to the formulation and use of fuel additives and fuels which burn more efficiently and with reduced noxious emissions.
Background Art Prior investigations involving the use of 10 platinum group metals in internal combustion engines have led to the development of the catalytic converter for emissions reduction. Reliance upon costly mechanical equipment, while less than ideal or desirable, has become standard despite the 15 efforts of the prior art to accomplish the same result through less costly combustion improvements 3 in terms of better combustion conditions through engine design and fuel additives. The efforts in engine design have provided significant improvements, but the twin objectives of improved 5 operating efficiency and reduced noxious emissions are difficult to achieve simultaneously.
Experience to date with fuel additives has been less successful, due in part to the complicated equipment necessitated for their introduction into 10 the fuel supply and in part to their cost where they include more exotic catalytic materials. For example, in U.S. Patent 4,295,816, Robinson discloses an elaborate delivery system for introducing water-soluble platinum group metal salts 15 through the air intake of internal combustion engines to deliver platinum group metal catalysts to the combustion chamber at a level no greater than 9 mg catalyst per kilogram of fuel.
In U.S. Patents 2,086,775 and 2,151,432, Lyons 20 and McKone disclose adding from 0.001 to 0.085% (i.e., from 10 to 850 parts per million) of an organometallic compound or mixture to a base fuel such as gasoline, benzene, fuel oil, kerosene, or blends to improve various aspects of engine 25 performance. Among the metals disclosed in U.S. 2,086,775 are cobalt, nickel, manganese, iron, copper, uranium, molybdenum, vanadium, zirconium, beryllium, platinum, palladium, chromium, aluminum, thorium and the rare earth metals, such as cerium. 30 Aniong those disclosed in U.S. 2,151,432 are selenium, antimony, arsenic, bismuth, cadmium, tellurium, thallium, tin, barium, boron, cesium, didymium, lanthanum, potassium, sodium, tantalum, titanium, tungsten and zinc. In both disclosures, 35 the preferred organometallic compounds were beta 4 diketone derivatives and their homologues, such as the metal acetylacetonates, propionylacetonates, formylacetonates, and the like. Such compounds typically provide oxygen-to-metal ratios in the 5 range of 1:1 to 1:10, and no essential feature linked to the presence of oxygen is disclosed.
The Lyons and McKone disclosures state that concentrations of from 0.001 to 0.04% (i.e., from 10 to 400 parts per million) are not effective to 10 improve combustion efficiency as introduced, but may become so upon prolonged use as catalytically active deposits are built up in the combustion chamber. The disclosure further states that about 0.01% (i.e., 100 ppm) of the organometallic compound is 15 usually sufficient, once the requisite amount of catalytically active deposits has been built up, to perpetuate that amount of deposits by replacement of losses therefrom. The compounds disclosed were, therefore, not capable of generating any 20 instantaneous catalytic effect at low concentrations. Further, no indication was made for preferred oxidation states for the metals disclosed.
Neither of the Lyons and McKone patents disclose the use of oxygenated solvents or point to 25 the importance of high oxygen to metal ratios. In Demonstration 15 in U.S. Patent 2,086,775, palladium acetyl acetonate was added to a fuel (not specifically identified, but presumably the leaded 65 octane gasoline employed in Demonstration 1) at a 30 level of 0.002% (20 ppra). The weight ratio of oxygen to palladium was not mentioned, although by calculation it is found to be about 1 to 3, and the level of palladium is found to be about 10 ppm. No improvement in combustion was noted until after 35 substantial driving.
In German Offenlegungsschrift 2,500,683, Brantl discloses that a wide variety of catalytic metals may be added to hydrocarbon fuels to reduce nitrogen monoxide and oxidize carbon monoxide at the moment 5 of combustion in internal combustion engines. The disclosure states that organometallic or Grignard compounds of the metals lithium, sodium, lead, beryllium, magnesium, aluminum, gallium, zinc, cadmium, tellurium, selenium, silicon, boron, 10 germanium, antimony and/or tin can be added to the fuel individually or as a mixture. Similarly, the metal complexes of the metals scandium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, 15 iridium, platinum, silver, gold, gallium, molybdenum, lead and mercury, with different ligands, can be added to the fuel individually or as a mixture. For the platinum group metals osmium, iridium, and platinum, broad concentrations of from 20 0.347 to 3.123 grams per liter of fuel are suggested for the various compositions listed in the disclosure, with the range for particularly favorable results being from 0.868 to 1.735 grams per liter of fuel. Considering the cost of these 25 metals and the compositions containing them, there is a negative incentive for employing them at the high levels stated by the disclosure to be effective. Moreover, the tetramethyl platinum compound is not known to exist.
In U.S. Patent 2,402,427, Miller and Lieber disclose the use of certain diesel-fuel-soluble organic or organometallic compounds as ignition promoters at concentrations of from 0.02 to 3% (i.e., 200 to 30,000 parts per million). No 35 platinum group metal compounds are identified and no indication is given that the disclosed compounds at the disclosed or lower levels would improve combustion in a gasoline internal combustion engine.
Other work done, in which cylinders of a diesel 5 engine were coated with platinum metal, showed reductions in noxious emissions, but the coating wore off in a number of hours.
Disclosure of Invention The present invention comprises the application 10 of certain platinum group metal compounds which are directly soluble in engine fuels, such as diesel fuel or gasoline, or solvents for use in internal combustion gasoline and diesel engines. The compounds, preferably in combination with a solvent 15 for them which is also miscible in the fuel, are employed at very small, but catalytically effective levels of from 0.01 to about 1.0 parts of platinum group metal per one million parts of fuel (ppm). For the purposes of this description, all part per 20 million figures are on a weight to volume basis, i.e., mg/liter, and percentages are given by weight, unless otherwise indicated.
According to one its aspects, the invention provides gasoline and diesel fuel additive 25 compositions comprising a solution of a fuel-soluble platinum group metal compound in a solvent miscible in the fuel, the platinum group metal compound being present in an amount sufficient to supply from 0.01 to 1.0 parts per million of the platinum group metal 30 when added to a predetermined amount of fuel.
Preferred solvents are oxygenated hydrocarbons such as ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, and methyl tertiary butyl ether, and will preferably be employed in amounts of less than 5% of the weight of 35 the fuel. The oxygenated solvents will preferably. 4 be employed in amounts sufficient to supply oxygen at a weight ratio to the platinum group metal of at least 1000:1.
Among the preferred platinum group metal 5 compounds are platinum group metal coordination compounds comprising a platinum group metal having a +2 or +4 coordination state with at least one coordination site in the compound being occupied by a functional group containing at least one 10 unsaturated carbon-to-carbon bond with an olefinic, acetylenic or aromatic pi bond configuration. Especially preferred compounds are those of the formula: wherein M is a platin an group metal and R is benzyl, phenyl or nitrobenzyl.
According to another aspect of the invention, gasoline and diesel fuel compositions of improved properties are provided, which comprises gasoline or 20 diesel fuel and an additive composition dissolved therein, said, additive composition comprising a fuel-soluble platinum group metal compound in an amount effective to supply from 0.01 to 1.0 parts of the platinum group metal per million parts of According to a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of increasing the utilizable energy of gasoline or diesel fuel for powering internal combustion engines, comprising fuel 8 admixing with said gasoline or diesel fuel an additive composition comprising a fuel-soluble platinum group metal compound in an amount effective to supply from 0.01 to 1.0 parts of the platinum group 5 metal per part per million parts of fuel.
The additive compositions according to the invention improve operating efficiency of gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines in terms of increased power output per unit of gasoline burned 10 and reduce the emissions of particulates and noxious gases such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide. The additives provide beneficial results upon immediate use and over long periods of continuous use.
For the purposes of this description, gasoline is defined as a mixture of volatile hydrocarbons for use in a spark-ignited internal combustion engine and having an octane rating [(Research + Motor)/2] of at least 80, typically about 87 to 89 or above, 20 and according to the more preferred aspects of the invention as having less than 1.4 grams per gallon of lead. Most preferably, the gasoline will be "unleaded" and contain no more than 0.05 grams of lead per gallon and no more than 0.1% of sulfur. 25 Gasoline typically has a BTU value of about 19,700 calories per pound, (11 kcal/g).
The gasoline additive compositions of this invention achieve the most reproducible effect in engines operated under lean conditions, namely an 30 air to fuel ratio of about 14.7:1, and at compression ratios from about 7:1 to 9:1.
Diesel fuels, for the purposes of this description, are defined as fuel oil number 2 petroleum distillates of volatility and cetane number characteristics effective for the purpose of fueling internal combustion diesel engines.
As indicated above, the preferred platinum group metal compounds are coordination compounds.
These compounds, especially those coordinated with certain high molecular weight (preferably above 100 daltons) olefinic functional groups, are stable in the presence of moisture. This is extremely important due to the amounts of water present in 10 gasoline and diesel fuels. Gasoline, for example, will typically contain dissolved water in amounts on the order of 30 ppm and frequently contains higher levels of dispersed and bulk water.
Few, if any, platinum group metal coordination 15 compounds which are directly soluble in gasoline or diesel fuel are available commercially. Compounds which are available often contain objectionable functional groups containing .halogen and phosphorus and, therefore, are less than preferred for many 20 internal combustion applications. Preferably, the compounds according to the present invention will have no phosphorus or have low levels which are free of significant disadvantages. We have discovered that certain platinum group metal compounds can be 25 prepared which are soluble and stable in the fuels and actively catalyze the combustion of gasoline and diesel fuel in internal combustion engines and reduce noxious emissions when introduced as an integral part of the fuel.
The preferred class of materials used include platinum group metal coordination states II and IV. Compounds in the lower (II) state of oxidation are preferred due to their function in generating the catalytic effect. A significant feature of the 35 invention is the use of platinum group metal II coordination compound having at least one coordination site occupied by a functional group containing an unsaturated carbon-to-carbon bond of the olefinic, acetylenic or aromatic pi bond 5 configuration. Preferably, two or more of the coordination sites will be occupied by such functional groups since the stability and solubility in gasoline and diesel fuel of compounds having such multiple functional groups are improved. While 10 wishing not to be bound to any particular theory, it is believed that such preferred compounds in the lowest possible oxidant state are the most beneficial for producing instantaneous catalytic effect.
Occupation of one or more coordination sites with the following unsaturated functional groups have been found useful: 1. Benzene and analogous aromatic compounds such as anthracene and naphthalene. 20 2. Cyclic dienes and homologues such as cyclooctadiene, methyl cyclopentadiene, and cyclohexadiene. 3. Olefins such as nonene, dodecene, and polyisobutenes. 4. Acetylenes such as nonyne and dodecyne.
These unsaturated functional groups, in turn, can be substituted with nonhalogen-, substituents such as alkyl, carboxyl, amino, nitro, hydroxyl and alkoxyl groups. Other coordination sites can be 30 directly occupied by such groups.
The general formula for the preferred coordination II compounds is: 1 1 (e=«^£ where M11 represents the platinum group metal, with a valence of +2, where A, B, D, and E are groups such as alkoxy, carboxyl, etc. described above, where (C = C) and (C = C) represent unsaturated - x y functional groups coordinated with the platinum group metal, and where x and y are any integer.
Platinum group metals include platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, and iridium. Compounds including platinum, palladium and rhodium are preferred in the practice of this invention.
The most preferred platinum group coordination compounds are those represented by the following formula: wherein M is a platinum group metal and R is benzyl, phenyl or nitrobenzyl.
The platinum group metal compound will be added to gasoline or diesel fuel in an amount effective to improve engine performance in terms of operating efficiency or emissions reduction. Typically, the 1 2 compound will supply an amount of the metal within the range of from 0.01 to 1.0 parts of the platinum group metal per one million parts of gasoline (ppm w/v). A more preferred range is from 0.05 to 0.5 ppm, and most preferably, the platinum group metal will be supplied at a level of from 0.1 to 5 0.3 ppm on this same basis.
The fuel additive composition will preferably include a solvent which is miscible in the intended fuel, be it gasoline or diesel fuel. Certain of the solvents provide enhancements in the effectiveness of the platinum group metal compound and are preferred for this reason. Among the preferred 10 solvents are oxygenated hydrocarbons, such as alcohols, heterocyclic oxygen compounds and ethers, that is to say fuel miscible hydrocarbon solvents containing either one or more heterocyclic oxygen atoms in the hdyrocarbon chain or one or more oxygen containing groups, including ketonic (0=) groups, attached to the hydrocarbon chain, either in terminal or non-termi-15 nal positions. Particularly preferrd compounds are: 1 to 4 carbon alcohols, especially ethanol; tetrahydrofuran; and methyl tertiary butyl ether. Some of these compunds, as will be seen from the examples which follow, show especially strong enhancements with particular platinum group metal coordination compounds. Octyl nitrate functions well in diesel fuel additives. 20 The solvent will preferably be employed at a concentration of up to % of the fuel and typically greater than 0.25%. Solvent concentrations of from 0.25 to 2.5% are preferred, and are most preferably 1.0% or less, and in some cases show surprising improvements in additive performance when employed at these levels.
The preferred fuel additives will employ sufficient amounts of platinum group metal compounds and oxygenated solvent to provide a weight ratio of oxygen to platinum group metal of from 1,000:1 to 100,000:1, preferably greater than 3,500:1. More preferred oxygen to platinum group metal weight ratios are from 5,000:1 to 35,000:1.
The fuel additive compositions can contain 5 other additives such as detergents, antioxidants and octane improvers which are known as beneficial, but the use of such is not an essential feature of the invention.
The following examples are presented for the 10 purpose of further illustrating and explaining the present invention and the best mode for carrying it out, and are not to be taken as limiting.
Example 1 Dibenzyl cyclooctadiene Pt II was used as a 15 catalyst in unleaded gasoline supplied to an automobile engine.
Production of dibenzyl cyclooctadiene platinum II was accomplished by slurrying 24.0 grams (0.064 mole) cyclooctadienyl Pt II dichloride in 200 20 milliliters of xylene. To the resultant mixture was added 0.5 mole benzyl magnesium chloride in diethyl ether (300 milliliters). The Grignard reaction was continued overnight, followed by hydrolysis with saturated ammonium sulfate solution in an ice bath. 25 Following hydrolysis, the mixture was shaken vigorously and the layers were then allowed to separate. The organic phase was collected, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the residual diethyl ether was removed, leaving a solution of the 30 product in xylene. This product has the structure: I 4 The xylene solution of the platinum compound (0.17% by weight platinum) was admixed with other fuel additive components set forth in Table 1A 5 below.
A series of dynamometer tests were conducted, in which a 1984 Buick V-6 spark ignition engine was connected to and loaded by an eddy current dynamometer. The engine had the following 10 specifications: Engine Type Bore and Stroke Piston Displacement Compression Ratio Carburetor Type Air - Fuel/Ratio Buick 90°V-6 3.800 x 3 .400in. (9.652 x 8.636 cm) 231 cu. in. (3785.4 cm3) 8.0:1 2 BBL-ROCH 14.7:1 1 5 Data gathered during comparative engine tests run on the Buick V-6 engine using unleaded Indolene gasoline with a platinum-based fuel additive formulation based on the following ingredients with a fuel employing all components of the formulation except the platinum compound: Table 1A Percent by Weight Xylene 58.6 Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether 40.5 Detergent (Ethyl MPA-448) 0.9 Platinum Coordination Compound as prepared above 0.012 This platinum compound has the following elemental breakdown: Platinum 40.2% Carbon 54.4% Hydrogen .4% The engine was run under steady conditions for about ninety (90) minutes per run at about 1300 rpm and was loaded to about 79 ft. lb. torque (107 Nm) by a dynamometer to develop, on an average, 19.6 horsepower (14.6 kW) throughout each run.
During each of these runs, the time the engine took to consume a measured 900-milliliter quantity of gasoline with and without the platinum compound was recorded. For each run, such time readings were taken on three occasions and the time averaged. The product of the horsepower and average time (in minutes) to use 900 milliliters of fuel gave numbers representing work. The results are summarized below in Table IB. 1 G TABLE IB Baseline Run Work Run with Additive Work 1 176. A 1 186.2 2 178.3 2 182.7 3 176.1 3 184. 1 4 175.8 4 181.5 179.2 184.0 6 178.8 6 189.5 7 180.0 7 184.3 8 177.1 8 183.0 9 180.5 9 183.3 178.8 182.4 11 179.7 11 183.5 12 182.7 13 181.8 The consumption times for 900 milliliters of gasoline containing 0.1 ppm of platinum supplied by the platinum compound were generally longer than the consumption times without the platinum compound. The average time with the platinum compound was 9.39 minutes, and without was 9.11 minutes. This improvement of fuel consumption due to the platinum compound was 3.1%.
Fuel flow measurements showed a range of fuel efficiency gains of three percent (3%) to six percent (6%) with the platinum-based additive compared to the fuel additive formulation minus the platinum—based compound in a series of similar tests.
Example 2 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, but this time employing 5% ethanol in addition to the fuel additive of Example 1 (at 0.2 ppm of platinum w/v). Baseline data was collected for 2 days and test data was noted on 12 days after an initial five days of operation employing the additive - The test engine was run at three rpm's (1300, 1800 and 2100) in 1 ? sequence on each test day, all at a torque of 55 lb. ft. (74.8 Nm). The data collected for fuel flow and hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions are summarized below in Table 2.
Table 2 Fuel Flow Hydroca rbons Carbon Monoxide (%) (ml/sec) (ppm w/v) With With With RPM Baseline Additive Baseline Additive Baseline Additive 1300 1.12 1.07 210 135 1.79 0.62 1800 1.82 1.76 169 113 1.05 0.40 2100 2.20 2.15 120 73 0.53 0.17 Example 3 Additive testing was performed with a Buick engine having the specifications described in Example 1, mounted on a Superflow SF-901 water brake dynamometer. Superflow data collection capabilities included automatic measuring and recording of rpm torque, horsepower, as well as various temperatures, pressures, and flow rates.
Two of the engines spark plugs were fitted with Kistler spark plug pressure adapters (Model 640) and Kistler high impedance pressure transducers (Model 6001). An A.V.L. optical shaft encoder was mounted on the test engine which generated signals for bottom dead center and every half degree of crank angle.
Pressure and crank angle data were collected, stored and processed by a Columbia computer (Model 4220). Individual samples consisted of two pressure measurements for every half degree of shaft rotation over eighty firing cycles. 1 « Each additive set forth in Table 3 below was tested in the following manner. A baseline test was performed without fuel treatment, followed by a test in which additive was present in the fuel, and 5 finally the baseline test was repeated. Two pressure samples were collected during each test run. Tests were twelve and one half minutes in duration, with 20 minutes run time between tests to allow for conditioning or purging. The test engine 10 was run at 2100 rpm and 55 lb.ft. (78.8 Nm) of torque. Superflow data collection was sampled at ten second intervals. Standard deviation of horsepower was produced after each test in order to confirm engine stability and repeatability. Typical standard 15 deviations averaged .06, for twelve and one half minutes of test engine run time.
The base fuel in each of the formulations tested was AMOCO unleaded regular gasoline having an octane rating of 87. In each case where ethanol 20 (ETOH) or tetrahydrofuron (THF) was employed, its concentration was 0.25%. The DIBENZYL PT(II) referred to in the table was dibenzyl cyclooctadiene platinum II as prepared in Example 1; and, the NITROBENZYL PT(II) was similarly prepared but having 25 nitrobenzyl in place of the two benzyl groups shown in the formula set forth in Example 1. Each of these platinum compounds, when employed, was used at a level sufficient to provide 0.15 ppm platinum, except where noted as being otherwise, e.g., 30 c = 0.1, c = 0.2, ore = 0.3 ppm. The notation (ALL) indicates that this table sumnarizes data at all ethanol levels.
For each test run which consisted of a baseline-additive-baseline sequence, the pressure measurements were plotted automatically as described above. 1 9 For each plot, obtained, three parameters were studied: 1. Peak - The maximum pressure achieved in the cylinder during combustion. 2. Distance - A physical measurement of the horizontal distance between the top dead center axis and the peak of the pressure curve. Shorter distances between top dead center and peak pressure achieved indicate faster 10 propagation of the flame front across the cylinder. 3. MIP - The mean indicated pressure is the average pressure achieved after ignition at top dead center and is an indication of 15 the total work release achieved by combusting the fuel.
In evaluating pressure curves with additive increases in peak pressure and MIP and decreases (shorter) distances were interpreted as a beneficial 20 effect produced by the additive in terms of fuel utilization and useful work derived from combusting the fuel.
The nature of the effect of an additive treatment to fuel was studied by using the Analysis 25 of Variance model otherwise known as (ANOVA). The assumptions that were made for this model have the following features: 1. There are two factor levels under study; baseline and treated conditions. 30 2. For each factor, the probability distribution of the data is normal.
A- *J 3. All probability distributions of the factors have constant variance. 4. The mean for the data at each factor level may differ, reflecting the various effects of the treatment.
A statistical test can be performed to determine whether the means of the two factors are equal. If they are not, then further analysis is required. This analysis involves the construction of an 10 interval estimation of the mean response for a given factor, and comparison of mean responses for different factors. Statistical inferences can be made by using the interval estimation, i.e., it can be estimated with 80 or 90 percent confidence that 15 the mean increase of the peak, dist or MIP are between the lower limit and the upper limit of the interval constructed. The interval estimation depends on the confidence level, the total number of points in the data as well as the variance of the 20 difference of the two means. Thus conclusions can be made about the effect of the fuel treatment compared to nontreatment.

Baseline testing was conducted according to 25 U.S. EPA Federal Test Procedures (urban cycle) and Highway Fuel Economy Test procedures. These procedures call for the dynamometer to be loaded to a prescribed setting and the vehicle to be driven through a series of acceleration, shifting, braking 30 and stopping patterns as emissions and fuel economy data are collected. Data are collected over a series of runs and analyzed through a computer software program to arrive at a composite number for emissions and fuel economy performance.
Following baseline testing, the vehicle was treated with additive at the rate of seven ounces per twenty gallons of fuel and released to accumulate on-the-road mileage. The vehicle accumulated 1,600 miles (2,576 km) before it was retesteci. Treatment was maintained during mileage accumulation through the use of pre-packaged additive introduced into the vehicle's fuel tank at each fuel fill-up to give an average concentration of platinum of about 0.15 ppm. Treated fuel testing followed the same procedures as those for baseline testing.
The data is summarized in Table 4B.

In these demonstrations, route and load were held relatively constant, 15 measuring fuel consumption with and without the additive of the invention. The road tests accumulated data for over 7,000 miles (11,270 km) driven with untreated fuel and 6,400 miles (10,304km) for fuel treated with the additive detailed in Table 4A to give a platinum 20 metal content of 0.15 ppm. From plots of the regression curves (mpg versus mph) a numerical integration was performed to determine the area under baseline and treated curves. The difference between the two areas was calculated in order to 25 arrive at a percentage figure to describe the increase in mileage due to treatment with the fuel additive. z a The results are summarized in Table 5.

The engine was operated at a constant speed of 750 rpm within a power range of 35 to 85% of maximum continuous rating (MCR).
Baseline fuel tests were performed on the first day, prior to additive introduction on the first and second days. On the first day, baseline fuel flow readings were recorded at power ratios of 35%, 50%, 62.5%, 75% and 85% MCR. Subsequently, additive was 20 introduced in the ratio of one part additive to 250 parts fuel and the power reduced through the above range at hourly intervals. Fuel consumption was recorded at five-minute intervals. At the end of the day's testing, the engine was shut down with 25 additive remaining in the fuel system. The engine had no preconditioning or "seasoning" time on additive.
On the second say the engine was warmed up and testing began using additive in a concentration of 30 one part to 400. Engine power was progressively a 7 increased at hourly intervals through the same points as on the first day, with fuel consumption again recorded at five-minute intervals. An additional baseline (untreated fuel) test was run on 5 the third day.
Analysis of the data collected on the first day presented in Table 6A indicate a reduction in fuel consumption of 3.1% to 5.3% when using the additive. Treated data acquisition progressed from high load 10 (420 kw) to low load (220 kw). Absolute reduction in fuel consumption is noted to improve from no reduction initially (first treated data point) to a 5.3% reduction at the end of the sequence.
Data presented in Table 6B represent a 15 comparison of treated data collected on the second day versus the baseline data of the first day. Percentage reduction in fuel consumption ranged from 3.3% to 4.0% when using the additive. Absolute reduction in fuel consumption is noted to improve 20 from 2.4 kg/hr to 3.3 kg/hr, which follows the trend towards increased time of treatment during the progression from low load operation (275 kw) to high load operation (475 kw) on the second day.
Data collected on the third day (not shown) for 25 untreated operation appear identical to those for treated operation the second day. This is probably the result of a residual effect of additive deposited on cylinder parts and lube oil components during treatment. a « Table 6A Comparison of Baseline Fuel Consumption vs. Treated Fuel Consumption at Indicated Loads (First Day Da* 3) Reduction in Fuel Consumption Treated Fuel Untreated with Power Consumption Fuel Consumption Additive Reduction (kw) (kg/hr) (kg/hr) (kg/hr) % 420 86.8 86.8 345 71.5 73.8 2.3 3.1 280 58.7 61.3 2.6 4.2 220 46.5 49.1 2.6 5.3 Table 6B Comparison of Baseline Fuel Consumption vs.

The vehicle tested was a tandem tractor powered by a Cummins NHC-250 engine. The vehicle was supplied by 5 an independent owner-operator and was normally used in highway construction hauling. The engine had accumulated 8,000 miles (12,800 km) since rebuild.
Following baseline testing and treatment at a rate of one gallon of additive to four hundred 10 gallons of fuel, the vehicle was released to accumulate approximately 1000 miles (1610 km) of over-the-road treated data before being retested on the chassis dynamometer.
During over-the-road mileage accumulation, 15 treatment was maintained by the driver according to a treatment schedule which provided for a 1:400 dosage rate. Product was supplied in one-gallon (3.785 1) containers along with a graduated beaker for accurate measurement. Daily record sheets were 20 completed by the driver to record miles driven and fuel and additive consumed.
During dynamometer testing, the tractor was secured to a Clayton water-brake dynamometer and run for four minute intervals at settings of 2100 rpm 25 and full power, 2000 rpm and full power and 1900 rpm and full power. Readings were taken every minute from the dynamometer's gauges, recording the actual rear wheel horsepower. A separate tachometer was installed in the cab. The one in the tractor was 30 found to "bounce". The speed and horsepower balance were maintained at the rear wheels from the cab. Simultaneously, fuel measurements were taken at the same intervals. A thirty gallon drum (113.55 1) of fuel was placed on an accurate digital scale and the 35 reduction in the weight of the fuel was recorded. 3 0 Recirculation was returned to the drum to measure only that fuel consumed. The combined rear wheel horsepower was found to be equal to factory specifications, i.e. 70% of rated 250 horsepower (186.5 kW), 5 equal to 175 hp (130.55 kW). Prior to testing the engine was checked by the manufacturer to be sure that the fuel flow and fuel pressure agreed with the manufacturer's specifications for the fuel pump.
Two test runs were conducted on each test date 10 to assure the repeatability of results. Each test consisted of three minutes of stabilized run time at each of the three rpm settings with one minute in between to allow for stabilization and transition to the next rpm level.
The averages of three readings for each rpm setting are summarized in Table 7 A for untreated and treated data. Table 7A provides a comparison of horsepower (output) versus fuel flow (input) at a given engine rpm for untreated and treated data. 20 Horsepower increases following additive treatment averaged 2.6% to 5.2% improvement over baseline.
Table 7B provides a comparison of actual horsepower increase using the additive versus untreated data. Actual horsepower increases ranged 25 from 4.5 hp (3.36 kW) to 9.0 hp (6.72 kV) following additive treatment.

Actual horsepower improvement averaged 7.0 hp (5.2 kW) for the treated runs over the three rpm settings. This 15 corresponds to a 4.0% increase in horsepower over baseline horsepower.
The dynamometer was not equipped to run treated tests at equivalent baseline horsepower in order to monitor decrease in fuel flow; however, a 20 calculation of brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is one means of recording the fact that more work is produced per unit of fuel when using the additive. Therefore, if power requirements were held constant, less fuel would be consumed when 25 using the additive. The data provided in Table 7C represent BSFC, pounds of fuel consumed per horsepower-hour for untreated and treated data. The improvement using additive ranged from 2.5% to 5.0%.
Emissions measurements were not quantified 30 during these tests; however, a reduction in visible smoke emissions was observed when running on treated fuel at start-up, idle and loaded conditions. *-> Testing Method (Over-the-Road) Baseline data from previous months' records was listed indicating date, miles driven, gallons of 25 fuel used and then miles per gallon was calculated. The two selected vehicles were then tested on a chassis dynamometer for baseline determination (see Testing Method-Chassis Dynamometer). After the dynamometer tests, the tractors were treated with 30 the fuel additive and returned to their commercial routes. The next two months (treated data) were 3:i then listed and compared to the original (untreated) baseline data.
Testing Method (Chassis Dynamometer) Both Kenworth tractors were tested on an 5 Ostradyne Model U130TT chassis dynamometer. The specifications of the unit are horsepower limit 500 (373 kW), torque limit 1500 lb. ft. (2034 Nm), maximum rear wheel speed was 60 mph (96.6 km.p.h.).
The tractors were driven onto the dynamometer 10 such that the rear driving wheels of the tractor turned a set of rollers. These rollers are connected to a braking system. The force required on the turning rollers to load the tractor's rear driving wheels is indicated on various meters 15 located on the dynamometer's control panel. The meters consisted of horsepower, torque, speed (calibrated in miles per hour) and also a separate panel with controls to adjust for barometric pressure, humidity, etc.
The test consisted of selecting three basic rpm's in the upper scale of the tractor's capability. The tractor was then fully loaded maintaining the specific rpm and the meters on the dynamometer were recorded every minute for 5 25 minutes.
Fuel flow was measured by filling a 20 gallon (75.72 1) pail with diesel fuel from the tractor's saddle tanks. The 20 gallon (75.721) pail was placed on an accurate electronic scale. During the 5 minute load tests, 30 minute readings were taken from the scale so an accurate accounting of the fuel usage in pounds of fuel per minute was recorded. 3 1 Data Evaluation (Over-the-Road) The over-the-road data for both tractors is summarized in Tables 8A and 8B. Both tractors showed improvements in excess of 5.6+% in MPG while 5 under treatment; with a discernable trend towards continued improvement with time under treatment.
