Description

Patented Apr. 15, 1941 Robert a. Fulton, Pittsburgh, Pa... assignor, by mesne assignments, to Puritan Company, 1110., Rochester, N. Y., a corporation of New York No Drawing. Application December 27, 1939,
Serial No. 311,142
11 Claims.
ilhis invention relates to the manufacture of fluid compositions for the transmission oi pressure and more particularly to a fluid that is especially adapted for modern hydraulic brake systems and analogous equipment.
This application is a continuation in part oi my co-pending application Serial No. child, filed February 15, 1936.
lit is not the purpose of this invention to describe in detail the mechanical construction of hydraulic systems, inasmuch as such systems are lrnown and have heretofore been described. it is sumcient to point out that in order to actuate such systems there is required a fluid for trans mitting pressure. it is desired to point out, how
ever, that the modern hydraulic braking system may comprise rubber, aluminum and other sensiinasmuch as prior art fluids comprised such I ingredients as aliphatic alcohols. oils, glycerlne, water and the like, they were prepared in many instances merely by mixing the various constituents together in the ratio desired, more or less in the cold. In certain prior art disclosures use oi mineral oils, very damaging to rubber braking parts, other oils, Water and other components have been referred to without suitable limitation.
l have found that greatly improved results, and a superior fluid may be obtained. Preferably I employ my novel manufacturing procedure as set forth in detail herein.
This invention has for One object to provide a novel hydraulic pressure transmitting fluid substantially non-injurious to automotive braking parts, which fluid is capable of miscibility with other fluids. Another object is to provide a method for making fluids for hydraulic apparatus used in the transmitting of power. sun another object is to prepare a base which may be readily converted to fluid. Still another ob ject is to provide a method which is more rapid production of a fluid that will not iniure a larching system charged therewith. Other objects will appear hereinafter.
I have iound that particularly excellent tluid tor use in hydraulic apparatus may be prepared from various vegetable oils, any tree oil being substantially comprised of the non-drying and/or semi-drymg type. and various solvents provided certain other constituents are incorporated therein, by the proper procedure. While oils are preierred, in some instances fatty acids such as oleic, ricinoleic, and the like, may be employed, being converted to a soap. Or, fatty acids and glyc=- crime may be reacted to produce an oily material. Even though certain oils and solvents have I heretofore been considered incompatible, l have and produces a superior product than obtained by methods heretofore employed. A still further object is to provide a method conducive to the i found that a large variety of oils and. solvents may be coupled into clear, non-viscous fluids satisfactory for use in hydraulic braking systems by my novel procedure set forth in detail hereinafter.
My novel fluids generically comprise a nondrying vegetable oil (if in a free state) such as castor oil, dissolved in or otherwise incorporated with a solvent such as a glycol or other polyhydric alcohol, and/or glycol others such as the mono-ethyl ether of ethylene glycol, and a soap such as a potash soap ot a vegetable oil. Ordinarily, certain combinations of oils and solvents have been considered immiscible. However, as will be described in detail hereinafter, the oil and solvent are caused to couple to produce a clear, free-flowing base which can be further diluted with various other organic liquids. While I have mentioned castor oil as the preferred oil, and would employ a good quality castor oil, various other saponiflable oils such as rapeseed, kapokseed, sunflower seed, grapeseed, teaseed, and other such oils may be mixed with the castor oil or otherwise employed, as will be apparent as the description proceeds. Likewise, while I prefer certain mono-hydric alcohols, certain glycols, or other poly-hydric alcohols, and certain glycol others as solvents, other solvents such as aliphatic esters, ketones, and the like may be employed.
For a more complete understanding of my invention, reference is made to thefollo'wing era amples which are set forth primarily for the purpose of illustrating my preferred embodiment. Hence, it is to be understood that although these examples represent particularly excellent com positions, my invention embraces other embodiments.
soap percentage, and preferably the fluids would be substantially anhydrous.
My preferred fluids will have a pH of between 6-9 and preferably between 7.5 and 8.5 as will be described in more detail hereinafter under the method of manufacture.
I have found a method for producing my brake fluids which is particularly efllcient and rapid, as well as conducive to the production of a chemically stable and high quality fluid. In considering the methods of manufacturing my fluid, itwill, of course be assumed that the acid values of the various oils or other constituents employed, will be known. It will also be assumed that the percentage of purity of the potassium hydroxide or other alkali or other reagent will be at least approximately known.
Referring now to the manufacture of the composition disclosed in detail in Example I, the following procedure was employed: The alkali hydroxide required to saponify the teaseed oil was Example I Per cent Teaseed oil 8-15 Castor oil 3-15 Glycerin (or glycol) 10-25 Commercial alcohol 40-68 Potassium hydroxide 1.4-3 (Alkali expressed in soap 8-14) Water (incidental) Trace to 14 Example II Per cent Teaseed oil 10-20 Castor oil 5-15 Glycerin 10,-30 Denatured alcohol"; -20 Mono-ethyl ether of ethylene glycol 30-60 Potassium hydroxide 1.5-4 (Alkali expressed as soap 9-20) Water Traces to 20 Example III Per cent Castor oil 15-25 Ethylene glycol 5-75 Mono-ethyl ether of diethylene glycol 0-60 Etlrvl alcohol 0-25 Alkali hydroxide 1l2-5- (Expressed as $09.19.... 9-24) Water Substantially anhydrous Example IV Per cent Castor oil 10-25 Ethylene glycol 5-20 Denatured ethyl alcohol 45-75 Potassium hydroxide 4-5 (Expressed as soap 5 -24) Triethanolamine Traces to 2 Water Traces to All of the aforementioned brake fluids have viscosities (S. U. V.) at 100 F of less than 100. For example, the viscosities of the preferred compositions falling under Example IV were less than (40) S. U. V. at 100 F. All the fluids also flowed relatively easily at lower temperatures, as
for example, 0 F. and did not crystallize, stratify. or otherwise separate at temperatures even below zero.
It will be noted that the alkali hydroxide in the above examples has been expressed as such dissolved with the aid of heat in the high boiling point medium, glycerin. There may be a slight excess of the hydroxide present at this point, if desired; for insuring complete saponiflcation.
After all of the hydroxide was in solution in the glycerin, the fatty oil to be saponified was added with agitation and the temperature of the mixture raised to, for example, 140-l90 C. By using such procedure, complete saponiflcation is obtained in relatively few minutes (as contrasted with prior art processes using simple mixing or aqueous, low-temperature conditions.)
Thereafter, the castor oil was incorporated with the resultant glycerin mixture. Further heat may be applied at a suitable time. A sample ofthe solution was withdrawn and tested, the composition being adJusted (if need be) either by the addition of alkali or acid .(as for example in the form. of further saponiflable oil, or acid such as oleic, palmitic, and the like), until the pH thereof is within the desired'range.
Thereafter the reaction mixture may be cooled to below 100 C. and further diluted with alcohol and/or other solvents already described.
The procedure for manufacturing the compositions described in Examples III and IV are similar to the aforementioned, in that likewise, a high boiling point saponiflcation medium was employed. In Examples III and IV, castor oil, ethyland also in terms of soap. While it is preferred to employ potassium hydroxide as this is readily available and produces a particularly satisfactory soap with vegetable oils, other alkalis may be employed. In general, the soap content will be greater than 5% and preferably greater than 8%, but less than or 40%. One preferred range of soap is 8%-21% or 22%. In general, the soap is less than suflicient to produce a fluid having a viscosity of greater than S. U. V. at F. For certain fluids for high temperature service the viscosity may be raised to -300 (S. U. V.)
Generically, my novel pressure transmitting fluid comprises a non-drying vegetable oil, at least 5% of soap and a solvent. Preferably, the
' composition would comprise castor oil, between 8% and 25% of an alkali metal soap, and 5-10% of a high boiling point solvent such as ethylene or propylene glycol, polyglycol ethers, or the like. A small amount of an agent such as an amine, pyrogallol, hydroquinones, or the like for acting as an inhibitor might also be included. Any water content present would be small, less than the ene glycol (and in the instance of Example IV, triethanolamine) were mixed in a reaction kettle. The alkali hydroxide was slowly incorporated with these mixtures with stirring and the temperature raised to above 100 C. but less than C. It is possible to employ these temperatures not hitherto possible in certain prior art processes employing aqueous conditions, inasmuch as ethylene glycol (or other high boiling medium as glycol ethers) was used as the saponiflcation medium. By this procedure a portion of the castor oil underwent reaction. The
as desired, to bring the composition to a pH between approximately 7-8.5.
It will be observed from the preceding examples of suitable methods for preparing my novel compositions, that I am not concerned with merely neutralizing acid in the vegetable oils, but that I actually react a portion of the oil, or other saponifiable component, with the hydroxide. I am able to readily accomplish this in a short time by means of employing a high boiling point saponification medium rather than aqueous conditions. While I prefer a high-grade castor oil or other type non-drying vegetable oil, if the oil should contain any acids or other impurities any reaction thereof would merely be incidental. Therefore, it will be observed that in my novel compositions my map content is considerably higher than has heretofore been encountered and/or is produced or associated with non-drying oils, low water and the like for obtaining miscibility, homogeneity and other advantages. Although I prefer to obtain the soap content from a portion of the oil to be used as a lubricating or body-forming medium in my brake fluid composition, in some instances it is also possible to independently saponify a vegetable oil with a hydroxide by means of a high boiling point saponiil cation medium as described, andthereafter combine the vegetable soap with body-giving medium (preferably castor oil) and one or more of the solvents having the structural formula H-UH already described.
although I have shown the incorporation of triethanolamine in only one example, it is to be understood that this amine or various other amines such ashydroxy ethyl ethylene diamine, and diethylene triamine, and oleic or ricinoleic acid salts of the above amines; rhodamine and esters or other agents and inhibitors, may be incorporated in each of the various compositions disclosed. It is also to be understood that small amounts of various |organic dyes may be incorporated in the compositions. In all of the examples disclosed, preferably as already indicated, the pH of the completed solution will be within the range of approximately 7-9.
as indicated above, my composition comprising oil, soap and high boiling solvent may be considered as a hydraulic fluid base. Said base can be prepared as described, stored or otherwise maintained, and subsequent thereto said prepa ration be diluted with any suitable solvent or solvents such as the aforementioned and then incorporated in the hydraulic apparatus. Inasmuch as both my base and final fluid compositions are miscible with other fluids, they lend themselves to admixture with other fluids, as for example, alcohols and ethers, or" commercial bralre fluids.
An example of such mixing is as follows: A. certain quantity of base as aforementioned was allowed to set for a period. It was then placed in a mixing apparatus and more than an equal quantity of ethyl alcohol added with agitation. Thereafter the resultant mixture was tested ai'id suitable additions of amines, dyes, or the like materials, made to bring the pH to within the range 7-8.5, or otherwise alter the composition.
In place of the alcohol, glycols, glycol-ethers, or other solvents may be incorporated, as apparent from my several examples. Or, two or more of the solvents described herein could be employed in various ratios. For example, the ratio might vary from 1:1 to 1:7.- In general, the aggregate addition of further solvents will be at least an amount equal to the weight of the base or one and a half to two or three times said weight.
By my novel procedure described herein, I obtain thorough incorporation and reaction of certain ofthe components, and otherwise obtain complete and uniform admixture. The process is relatively rapid, requiring only 5-20 minutes at the temperatures above 100 C. even on /2 ton lots, and may be carried out in standard equipment as steam kettles or the like. The resultant products contain no unreacted alkali particles, and consequently the newly prepared fluid may be charged in an automatic braking system without detriment. The fiuid is non-injurious to the various parts of the modern hydraulic braking system and is completely homogeneous. By my employment of certain oils and control of the water content, as already described, I obtain a composition that is not only clear and homogeneous as produced but remains so even after the addition of diluents or admixture with other fluids.
From the foregoing, it-is apparent that while I prefer the procedure and compositions disclosed because I have found that these are particularly satisfactory, my invention is susceptible of some modification. Hence, I do not wish to be restricted in my invention, excepting insofar as is necessitated by the prior art and the spirit of the appended claims.
