Description
FUEL ADDITIVES FOR TREATING
INTERNAL DEPOSITS OF FUEL INJECTORS
[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of application Serial No. 13/240,233, filed September 22, 2011, now pending.
[6002] The disclosure is directed to certain diesel fuel additives and to method for cleaning and/or preventing internal deposits in injectors for diesel fuel operated engines. In particular the disclosure is directed to methods that are effective agaist internal deposits in injectors for engines operating on ultra low sulfur diesel fuels.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY:
[0003] Recent changes in diesel fuels and diesel fuel additives have resulted in new injector performance concerns with deposits, including a new type of deposit not experienced with older diesel fuel formulations. The injector performance concerns run across all segments; on-road fleets, mining equipment, farming equipment, railroad and inland marine engines.
[0004] Vehicle operators, fuel marketers, and engine manufacturers are now seeing deposits forming on the internal parts of fuel injectors. If left untreated, these deposits may lead to significant power loss, reduced fuel economy, and, in extreme cases, increased downtime and higher maintenance costs due to premature replacement of “stuck injectors.” The new deposits are. believed to be a result of certain common corrosion inhibitors, biofuel components and acidic friction modifier, or other carboxylic components used in the fuel reacting with trace amounts of transition metals, alkali metal and alkaline earth metals causing salts that are less soluble in ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuels than in the higher sulfur fuels of the past. When such salts are present in fuel that is used in a High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) engine design, the salts may tend to deposit in the very tight tolerance areas of the injectors. Such deposits may lead to poor fuel injection, which in turn may lead to lost power, lost fuel economy, rough running engines, and eventually excessive vehicle downtime and maintenance expense.
[6065] ULSD now represents about 79% of all distillate fuel supplied in the United
States. Also, the Renewable Fuel Standard minimum for biodiesel was raised to 1 billion gallons mn 2012. There are indications that the amount of biodiesel required to be used in fuel will be even higher in the future. Accordingly, the changing fuel slate continues to move toward more
ULSD (with less solubility for salts that can form) and more biodiesel in the marketplace (another potential source of deposit causing materials in the fuel system).
[0006] In accordance with the disclosure, exemplary embodiments provide a method cleaning up internal components of a fuel injector for a diesel engine. The method includes operating a fuel injected diesel engine on a fuel composition that contains a major amount of diesel fuel having a sulfur content of 50 ppm by weight or less and from about 5 to about 500 ppm by weight of a reaction product derived from (a) a hydrocarbyl substituted dicarboxylic acid, anhydride, or ester and (b) an amine compound or salt thereof of the formula

[0607] Another embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for reducing an amount of salt deposits on internal components of a fuel injector for a fuel injected diesel engine.

[00021] As used herein, the term "hydrocarbyl group" or "hydrocarbyl" is used in its ordinary sense, which is well-known to those skilled in the art. Specifically, it refers to a group having a carbon atom directly attached to the remainder of a molecule and having a predominantly hydrocarbon character. Examples of hydrocarbyl groups include: (1) hydrocarbon substituents, that is, aliphatic (e.g., alkyl or alkenyl), alicyclic (e.g., cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl) substituents, and aromatic-, aliphatic-, and alicyclic-substituted aromatic substituents, as well as cyclic substituents wherein the ring is completed through another portion of the molecule (e.g., two substituents together form an alicyclic radical); (2) substituted hydrocarbon substituents, that is, substituents containing non-hydrocarbon groups which, in the context of the description herein, do not alter the predominantly hydrocarbon substituent (e.g., halo (especially chloro and fluoro), hydroxy, alkoxy, mercapto, alkylmercapto, nitro, nitroso, amino, alkylamino, and sulfoxy): (3) hetero-substituents, that is, substituents which, while having a predominantly hydrocarbon character, in the context of this description, contain other than carbon in a ring or chain otherwise composed of carbon atoms. Hetero-atoms include sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, and encompass substituents such as pyridyl, furyl, thienyl, and imidazolyl. In general, no more than two, or as a further example, no more than one, non-hydrocarbon substituent will be present for every ten carbon atoms in the hydrocarbyl group; in some embodiments, there will be no non-hydrocarbon substituent in the hydrocarbyl group.
[00022] “Biorenewable fuels” and “biodiesel fuels” as used herein is understood to mean any fuel which is derived from resources other than petroleum. Such resources include, but are not limited to, corn, maize, soybeans and other crops; grasses, such as switchgrass, miscanthus, and hybrid grasses; algae, seaweed, vegetable oils; natural fats; and mixtures thereof. In an aspect, the biorenewable fuel may include monohydroxy alcohols, such as those having from 1 to about 5 carbon atoms. Non-limiting examples of suitable monohydroxy alcohols include methanol, ethanol, propanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, t-butyl alcohol, amyl alcohol, and isoamyl alcohol.
[00023] As used herein, the term “major amount” is understood to mean an amount greater than or equal to 50 wt. %, for example from about 80 to about 98 wt .% relative to the total weight of the composition. Moreover, as used herein, the term “minor amount” is understood to mean an amount less than 50 wt. % relative to the total weight of the composition.
[60024] As used herein, the term “salts or salt deposits” are understood to mean transition metal, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carboxylates.
Amine Compound
[00025] Suitable amine compounds of the formula
NR
: i
NH C—NH—NHR may be chosen from guanidines and aminoguanidines or salts thereof wherein R and R! are as defined above. Accordingly, the amine compound may be chosen from the inorganic salts of guanidines, such as the halide, carbonate, nitrate, phosphate, and orthophosphate salts of guanidines. The term “guanidines” refers to guanidine and guanidine derivatives, such as aminoguanidine. In one embodiment, the guanidine compound for the preparation of the additive is aminoguanidine bicarbonate. Aminoguanidine bicarbonates are readily obtainable from commercial sources, or can be prepared in a well-known manner.
Hydrocarbyl Carbonyl Compound
[00026] The hydrocarbyl carbonyl reactant compound of the additive may be any suitable compound having a hydrocarbyl moiety and a carbonyl moiety, and that is capable of bonding with the amine compound to form the additives of the disclosure. Non-limiting examples of suitable hydrocarbyl carbonyl compounds include, but are not limited to, hydrocarbyl substituted succinic anhydrides, hydrocarbyl substituted succinic acids, and esters of hydrocarbyl substituted succinic acids. :
[60027] In some aspects, the hydrocarbyl carbonyl compound may be a polyalkylene succinic anhydride reactant having the following formula: , ©
RL
! 4, ~~ oO ~ wherein R? is a hydrocarbyl moiety, such as for example, a polyalkenyl radical having a number average molecular weight of from about 100 to about 5,000 daltons. For example, the number average molecular weight of R* may range from about 200 io about 3,000 daltons, as measured by GPC. Unless indicated otherwise, molecular weights in the present specification are number average molecular weights.
[00028] In the above formula, the R* hydrocarbyl moiety may comprise one or more polymer units chosen from linear or branched alkenyl units. In some aspects, the alkenyl units may have from about 2 to about 10 carbon atoms. For example, the polyalkenyl radical may comprise one or more linear or branched polymer units chosen from ethylene radicals, propylene radicals, butylene radicals, pentene radicals, hexene radicals, octene radicals and decene radicals.
In some aspects, the R? polyalkenyl radical may be in the form of, for example, a homopolymer, copolymer or terpolymer. In one aspect, the polyalkenyl radical is isobutylene. For example, the polyalkenyl radical may be a homopolymer of polyisobutylene comprising from about 10 to about 60 isobutylene groups, such as from about 20 to about 30 isobutylene groups. The polyalkenyl compounds used to form the R? polyalkenyl radicals may be formed by any suitable methods, such as by conventional catalytic oligomerization of alkenes.
[00029] In an additional aspect, the hydrocarbyl moiety R* may be derived from a linear alpha olefin or an acid-isomerized alpha olefin made by the oligomerization of ethylene by methods well known in the art. These hydrocarbyl moieties can range from about 8 carbon atoms to over 40 carbon atoms. For example, alkenyl moieties of this type may be derived from a linear Cy or a mixture of Cag.4 alpha olefins or from acid-isomerized Cig alpha olefins.
[00030] In some aspects, high reactivity polyisobutenes having relatively high proportions of polymer molecules with a terminal vinylidene group may be used to form the R* group. In one example, at least about 60%, such as about 70% to about 90%, of the polyvisobutenes comprise terminal olefinic double bonds. There is a general trend in the mdustry to convert to high reactivity polyisobutenes, and well known high reactivity polyisobutenes are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,152,499, the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[00031] Specific examples of hydrocarbyl carbonyl compounds include such compounds as dodecenylsuccinic anhydrides, C15 alkenyl succinic anhydride, and polyisobutenyl succinic “anhydride (PIBSA), and acid and ester compounds derived therefrom. In some embodiments, the PIBSA may have a polyisobutylene portion with a vinylidene content ranging from about 4% to greater than about 90%.

In these examples as well as elsewhere in this application, all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated. It is intended that these examples are being presented for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention disclosed herein.
[60049] In the following examples, the effect the detergent additive had on diesel fuel contaminated with carboxylate salts for high pressure common rail diesel fuel systems was evaluated. An engine test was used to demonstrate the propensity of fuels to provoke fuel injector sticking and was also used to demonstrate the ability of certain fuel additives to prevent or reduce the amount of internal deposit in the injectors. An engine dynamometer test stand was used for the installation of the Peugeot DW10 diesel engine for running the injector sticking tests. The engine was a 2.0 liter engine having four cylinders. Each combustion chamber had four valves and the fuel injectors were DI piezo injectors have a Euro V classification.
[00050] The core protocol procedure consisted of running the engine through a cycle for 8-hours and allowing the engine to soak (engine off) for a prescribed amount of time. The injector performance was then characterized by measuring the cylinder exhaust temperature for each cylinder. A test was stopped and considered to have failed (one or more injectors sticking) if the exhaust temperature of any cylinder was more than 65°C. above any other cylinder exhaust temperature at any point in time. A test was also considered to have failed if after allowing the engine fo cool to ambient temperature, a cold start showed a temperature difference of 45° C. or more in cylinder exhaust temperatures. Sticking of the needle and thus failure could also be confirmed by disassembling the injector and subjectively determining the force required to remove the needle from the nozzle housing. Cleanliness tests were run for keep-clean performance as well as clean-up performance.
[00051] Test preparation involved flushing the previous test's fuel from the engine prior to . removing the injectors. The test injectors were inspected, cleaned, and reinstalled in the engine.
If new injectors were selected, the new injectors were put through a 16-hour break-in cycle.
Next, the engine was started using the desired test cycle program. Once the engine was warmed up, power was measured at 4000 RPM and full load to check for full power restoration after cleaning the injectors, If the power measurements were within specification, the test cycle was initiated. The following Table 1 provides a representation of the DW10 sticking test cycle that was used to evaluate the fuel additives according to the disclosure.

Example 1 (Injector Sticking Engine Test)
[06052] Diesel engine nozzle sticking tests were conducted using the Peugeot DW10 engine following the protocol of Table 1. For keep-clean testing, the engine was run with diesel fuel doped with metal carboxylate salts and with the detergent additive indicated in the example.
For clean-up testing, the engine was first run with diesel fuel doped with metal carboxylate salts without a detergent additive to establish a baseline of stuck fuel injectors. Next, the engine was run with the same fuel containing the detergent additive indicated. In all of the tests, the fuels tested contained 200 ppmv lubricity modifier and 1600 ppmv cetane improver, 20 ppmw of dodecyl succinic acid, 3 ppmw of NaOH, and 25 ppmwv of water. At the beginning of the test, no injector sticking was indicated by a uniform exhaust gas temperature for all 4-cylinders as shown in FIG. 3. However, a cold start of the engine after 8 hours showed injector sticking as shown in FIG. 4. In all of the figures, curve A is cylinder 1, curve B is cylinder 2, curve C is : cylinder 3 and curve D is cylinder 4.
Comparative Example 2 100053] In this example, a conventional succinimide dispersant additive was added to the fuel at a treat rate of 75 ppmw. FIG. 5 shows the injectors sticking after a 16 hour test with the fuel containing the conventional detergent.
Comparative Example 3
[00054] In this example a quaternary ammonium salt Diesel fuel additive package was added to the fuel at a treat rate of 75 ppmw. FIG. 6 shows the injector sticking after a 7 hour test with this fuel.
Example 4
[060055] The detergent additive of the disclosure was added to the fuel at a treat rate of 75 ppmw. After a 16 hour test, FIG. 7 shows that none of the injectors were stuck. Physical inspection of the injectors upon completion of the test confirmed that none of the injectors were stuck. : Example 5
[60056] In this test, a base fuel containing the metal salts described above was run in the engine for 8 hours to dirty-up the fuel injectors. FIG. 8 shows that after a cold start of the engine, the injectors were stuck.
Example 6
[00657] In this test, the ability of the detergent additive of the disclosure to the clean-up dirty fuel injectors of FIG. 8 was demonstrated. In this example, 30 ppmw of the detergent additive of the disclosure was combined with 120 ppmw of a conventional succinimide dispersant and this mixture was added to the fuel. FIG. 9 shows that after a 16 hour test, none of the injectors were stuck.
[60058] As indicated by the foregoing examples, fuel additives containing detergent additive of the disclosure provides a significant reduction in internal deposits in diesel fuel injectors when engines are operated on ULSD fuels as compared to conventional fuel detergent additives and that the detergent additive was effective for cleaning up dirty fuel injectors.
