Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improved fuels for internal combustion engines, and more particularly to a metal-containing motor fuel which, due to its content of particular metals, in particular form, and at particular concentrations, has improved characteristics and increases the performance of gasoline (spark ignition) or diesel (compression ignition) engines operated therewith.
  • motor fuel is used to designate all liquid hydrocarbon fuels suitable for use in internal combustion engines of all type, including gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel.
  • Such fuels are composed of a mixture of various types of hydrocarbons boiling within the range of about 80 to about 800 F.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a fuel whose deposits in the engine improve anti-knock properties.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide gasolines and diesels fuels of improved combustion characteristics.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide a process of making improved motor fuels by the addition of a special composition containing zinc, copper and lead compounds in certain amounts and proportions.
  • the present invention provides for the preparation of concentrated solutions of the additive to be incorporated into the fuel.
  • the present invention mainly comprises the provision of a motor fuel comprising per each liter of fuel about 0.5-15 mg. of zinc in the form of zinc naphthenate, about 0.5-25 mg. of copper in the form of copper napht-henate, and lead in the form of lead naphthenate in an amount at least about 2 times the weight of the sum of the zinc and copper content, the total amount of zinc, copper and lead being between about 3 and 200 mg. per liter of fuel.
  • brominated and/or chlorinated hydrocarbon in an amount such as to obtain a 10% to preferably 35% to 50% bromination of the added metals in the case of brominated hydrocarbons, and a 20% to 200%, preferably 70% to 100% chlorination of the added metals in the case of the chlori nated hydrocarbons.
  • bromin-ation and chlorination are used herein to designate the conversion of the added metals into their maximum valency halogen compounds. If brominated and chlorinated hydrocarbons are used concurrently, they should be added in such proportions as to provide the amounts of bromine and chlorine required for the above stated halogenation levels.
  • brominated benzene brominated ethylene, chlorinated benzene or chlorinated ethylene as the halogenated hydrocarbons.
  • bromo benzene, ethylene dibromide, ohloro benzene and/or ethylene dichloride will give the most desirable results.
  • the additive composition of the present invention which contains 05-15 mg. of zinc in the form of zinc naphthenate, about 05-25 mg. of copper in the form of copper naphthenate, and lead in at least double the amount of the total of the zinc and copper, the total amount of the zinc, copper and lead being greater than 3 mg., and being as high as a total of 200 mg., are suitable not only for gasoline for internal combustion engines, but for diesel oils and for fuels in general for all types of internal combustion engines.
  • a preferred motor fuel in accordance with the present invention comprises per each liter of hydrocarbon fuel about 3.5-8 mg., most preferably about 7.2 mg., of zinc in the form of zinc naphthenate, about 0.55 mg.,
  • composition of the additives with reference to the metals (mg/l.)
  • the composition of the present invention has the efiect of forming a film between the cylinder walls and the piston which improves the compression and reduces the friction between the cylinder and piston, thus improving the entire operation of the engine and rendering the operation of the same much more economical.
  • porous sealing ring which is level at the top, that is pressed flat and which is about 1-2 mm. (depending on the size of the engine) wide, is conical towards the bottom and which fills the space between the piston head and the motor block in a wedgeshaped manner.
  • This ring can be taken off and upon analysis is found to have essentially always the same composition.
  • the presence of these metals is, however, of critical importance for the formation of the film, and their amount is likewise decisive for the formation and the efficiency of the film in accordance with the present invention.
  • the copper content influences the combustion and thereby the amount and proportion of C and H in the deposits.
  • the content of C and H in the deposits in order to achieve the most desirable effects has been found to be about 30- 35%, whereby the ratio of C:H is about 1:1.
  • the additives of the present invention may be added not only to unleaded fuels, but also to leaded motor fuels, that is fuels containing soluble lead compounds, particularly lead tetraethyl, as anti-knock agents. It is common practice to use in conjunction with lead tetraethyl certain halogenated hydrocarbons as scavenging agents. In the normal leaded motor fuel the contents of lead tetraethyl and halogenated hydrocarbons are balanced in such Way that in the combustion chamber theoretically the total amount of lead becomes volatile as lead-bromide or lead chloride, and is expelled with the exhaust gases.
  • Gasoline as used in connection with the present invention is a well known article of commerce for use in internal combustion engines operating on the Otto cycle. It is composed of a mixture of various types of hydrocarbons, including aromatics, olefins, parafims, isoparafiins and naphthenes. These mixtures are obtained from petroleum by refining processes including fractional distillation, catalytic cracking, hydroforming, alkylation and extraction. Motor gasoline boils between 80 F. (initial boiling point) and about 450 .F., when tested by A.S.T.M. method 86. Its vapor pressure by A.S.T.M. method D323 varies for use at different seasons between 7 and 15 lbs. per square inch at 100 F.
  • diesel fuels used in the practice of the present invention are all of the commonly sold grades including kerosene. Kerosenes normally have boiling ranges between 100 F. and about 600 F. and are sometimes referred to in the petroleum industry as No. 1 fuel oils. Diesel. fuels in general have boiling ranges between F. and are described more fully in A.S.T.M. specification D-975-53T as amended.
  • Such fuels are derived from petroleum crude oils by a variety of processing operations which may include atmospheric and vacuum distillation, catalytic and thermal cracking, catalytic and thermal reforming, visbreaking, hydrotreating and the like.
  • processing operations which may include atmospheric and vacuum distillation, catalytic and thermal cracking, catalytic and thermal reforming, visbreaking, hydrotreating and the like.
  • diesel fuel is composed of a mixture of various types of hydrocarbons including parafiins, isoparafiins, naphthenes and aromatics.

  • the amounts of metals added in accordance with the present invention should be increased according to the content of sulfur, e.g. the content of sulfur of 2%, the
  • naphthenates of copper, lead and zinc were carried out with naphthenates of copper, lead and zinc.
  • commercial naphthemates of lead, copper and zinc made by Hoechster Farbwerke, Frankfurt-am-Main were used. These naphthenates were individually dissolved in a gasoline having a boiling range of 100 C. in such amount as to obtain (1) a lead solution containing 58.8 g. of lead per liter, (2) a copper solution containing 13.6 g. of copper per liter, and (3) a zinc soluton containing 28.8 g. of zinc per liter.
  • the gasoline contained 29.4 mg. of lead, 3.4 mg. of copper, 7.2 mg. of zinc and 0.03 cc. of mono bromo benzene per liter.
  • the amount of gas blown through into the crankcase was substantially reduced and stabilized at a minimum, which was measured and found to be 50% of the amount of gas blown through and measured when the same motor was operated without the additive of the present invention.
  • the amount of gas blown through with standard gasoline was measured to be 88 cc. per second at 3000 r.p.m. and 11.6 H.P. output, and this blown through amount dropped for the same number of revolutions and the same output to 44 cc. when the gasoline with the additive of the present invention was used.
  • the increase of the output or efiiciency corresponded to the improved sealing effect obtained according to the present invention and to a corresponding increase of the compression pressure with a simultaneous improvement of the combustion.
  • a drop of the CO percentage and an increase of the CO percentage was found. Irrespective of the increased compression pressure, no tendency to knock could be determined or found.
