This invention relates to fuels which although having relatively high sulfur concentrations, are highly suitable for use in internal combustion engines, and particularly in diesel engines.
It has heretofore been observed that internal combustion engines, when operated on fuels having a relatively high sulfur content, exhibit much more corrosion on the metallic portions of the engine which contact the products of combustion of the fuel than when the sulfur content of the fuel is eliminated or substantially reduced; this is true irrespective of whether the sulfur is present in the free or combined state. This corrosion has been attributed to the acidic vapors formed on combustion of the sulfur-containing fuels, namely, sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide, and this is evidenced by the fact that the amount of corrosion increases with an increase in the sulfur content of the fuel. These gases, in the presence of water (which may be formed during fuel combustion and/or enter the engine through the air intake as the moisture normally present in the atmosphere), attack the metal parts exposed thereto. For example, corrosion is especially severe on the cylinder Walls and piston rings since, at the pressures developed therein over at least a portion of the power stroke, the Water is liquefied so that sulfur dioxide and trioxide dissolve therein to form sulfurous and/or sulfuric acid, which latter attack the exposed metal surfaces. The temperature of the cylinder also effects corrosion. Thus, engines operating at relatively low temperatures are more susceptible to corrosion since more moisture will condense at such lower temperatures. The thin oil film which may cover the metal parts affords only slight protection against the corrosive effects of the sulfur acids, which protection is completely inadequate whenever high sulfur content fuels are employed. However, the presence of sulfur in fuels has a beneficial effect in that the ignition properties of the fuel are improved thereby, i. e., fuel containing appreciable quantities of sulfur may be easily ignited in internal combustion engines.
'A further disadvantage of employing high sulfur content fuels in internal combustion engines is that the sulfur products of combustion also attack the lubricating oil, and especially oil additives, i. e., materials added to the oil to impart special properties or characteristics thereto, such as materials which may be added to oils as pour point depressants, oiliness, color, extreme pressure andviscosity index improvers, and oxidation inhibitors. Another disadvantage of high sulfur content fuels is the formation piston deposits in diesel engines.
Recognition of the overall adverse effect of the presence of sulfur and sulfur-containing compounds in fuels for internal combustion engines has led to widespread use of various processes directed to the removal of sulfur, which may be accomplished with more or less success by methods known to the art. However, these processes at best are expensive, commonly produce worthless by-products, and frequently have an adverse effect on the fuel itself.
An object of the present invention is to eliminate the necessity of removing sulfur from fuels having a relatively high sulfur content. Another object is to provide a high sulfur content fuel composition which is substantially non-corrosive to the metal parts of internal combustion engines, and which does not cause excessive engine deposits. A further object is to provide a new method of operation for combustion engines. A still further object is to provide a novel process for the production of power from high sulfur content fuels. Other objects and their achievement according to the present invention will be apparent from the specification.
It has now been discovered that the incorporation of certain compounds, a hereinafter described, in high sulfur content fuels eliminates, or at least materially reduces, the corrosive effects caused by the presence of sulfur, and substantially decreases the formation of engine deposits, and thus the incorporation of these materials in fuels eliminates the necessity of treating such fuels for the removal of the sulfur therefrom.
According to the quantity of a metallic inorganic salt, as'hereinafter defined, is incorporated in a high sulfur content fuel, it having been discovered that if such a material is incorported into a fuel having a high sulfur content, the corrosive effects of the sulfur oxides are substantially reduced and even substantially completely eliminated.
By employing high sulfur content fuels containing incorporated therein only a relatively very small amount of a metallic inorganic salt, in accordance with the present invention, the corrosion of the metal parts is practically completely eliminated, or is substantially reduced, and engine deposits are reduced so that the corrosion and deposition is comparable to that observed with a fuel containing low or negligible quantities of sulfur, and hence the necessity for employing expensive processes for removing sulfur from of heavy fuels is obviated, and the advantages of having present invention, a small sulfur present to improve the ignition properties of the fuel are preserved. A further significant advantage of the present invention is the prevention of oil depletion, i. e., the oil and the oil additives are not attacked by the products of combustion of the fuel, and therefore the oil retains the original. desired characteristics: and. special prop erties.
It is now evident that the present invention provides new fuel compositions, and a new-x method for operating combustion engines on high sulfur content fuels in a manner so-thatthein fiuence of sulfur on wear and. deposition-..isisube stantially eliminated. It is-,:-funther-::euident-thati the present invention provides a novel process-fun the production of power by burninga. high sulfur content fuel.
