Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Functional fluid compositions comprising at least one halogenated compound, certain phosphate esters and certain bright stock petroleum fractions which have excellent lubricity, fire-resistance, and homogeneity and are particularly usefit] as lubricants and hydraulic fluids.
  • fire-resistant fluid means a fluid of such chemical composition and physical characteristics that it will resist the propagation of flame under certain conditions hereinafter defined.
  • hydraulic fluids used in industrial hydraulic systems which are petroleum oils, water/glycol solutions, water-in-oil emulsions and completely synthetic types.
  • Fluids of the four types mentioned have varying degrees of fire-resistance and are" used in applications according to the severity of the conditions, taking into account such factors as degree of danger from fire, operating temperature, being loads and cost.
  • Many synthetic fluids such as the aryl phosphate esters offer a high degree of fire resistance and are usually employed when the danger from fire is great.
  • the cost of synthetic fluids has restricted their use to the most severe conditions.
  • the water containing fluids, while offering an acceptable degree of fire resistance at low cost, are not desirable in systems operating at high temperatures or where good lubricity of the fluid is required or where danger from fire is great.
  • Petroleum oils while offering good lubricity, are the least fire resistant but are used in many applications having a marginal fire hazard due to their low cost and general availability.
  • Previous attempts to render petroleum oil more fire resistant by incorporating therein known fire-resistant compounds such as phosphate esters have not produced fluids having a generally acceptable combination of lubricity, fire resistance and homogeneity. Numerous proposals have been made for correcting one or another of these properties, but correction of one property is usually effected at the expense of another property. For example, the incorporation of alkyl phosphate esters in petroleum to improve fire resistance results in fluids of marginal hydrolytic stability.
  • the aryl phosphate esters while providing superior fire resistance and hydrolytic stability, can only be added in small amounts due to the limited miscibility of the esters in petroleum oils and such amounts are ineffective in producing any significant increase in fire resistance.
  • aliphatic and olefinic chlorinated hydrocarbons have been combined with mineral oil to improve fire resistance; however, they have required either the use of only minor amounts of mineral oil thus not achieving economical fire-resistant compositions or the use of significant amounts of corrosion inhibitor because such chlorinated hydrocarbons tend to be corrosive to metals.
  • the combination of approximately equal amounts of aryl phosphate esters and chlorinated hydrocarbons yields a fluid with good flame resistance and fair lubricity, but requires the addition of VI improvers to obtain a satisfactory viscosity index.
  • compositions useful as functional fluids which are comprised of (1) a petroleum bright stock oil having a viscosity range of from about 150 to about 250 SSU at 210 F., (2) a phosphate ester selected from the group consisting of an ester represented by the formula where R, R and R are each selected from the group consisting of phenyl radicals, substituted phenyl radicals and alkyl C radicals provided that not more than one of R, R and R is an alkyl radical, and mixtures thereof, and (3) halogenated compounds selected from the group consisting of halogenated benzenes, naphthalenes, biphenyls, terphenyls, perhalodienes
  • the bright stocks useful in the compositions of this invention are those known in the art as conventionally refined of solvent extracted.
  • the crude oils are subjected to a first distillation under ordinary pressures to remove the low boilers, and a second steam distillation to remove heavy oil and waxy fractions.
  • the residue from the steam distillation is known as steam refined stock" or cylinder oil.
  • This material is subsequently deasphalted and dewaxed and treated with solvents and clays to produce the product known as bright stock.
  • the bright stocks are most generally used as heavy gear lubricants, and for blending with neutral oils for automatic engine lubricants. While the bright stocks can have a viscosity in the range of from about 50 to about 300 SSU at 210 F., those which are useful in the compositions of the present invention have viscosities in the range of about 150 to 250 SSU at 210 F and preferably in the range of 200 to 220 SSU at 210 F.

  • Such a mixture of phosphate esters provides an alkyl group to aryl group ratio of slightly less than 1.5 to 1 respectively.

  • the test procedures used to measure the various properties of the fluids of this invention and those used as comparisons are as follows:
  • Viscosity High Pressure Spray Test are not prone to foaming and any foam formed is not stable. Furthermore, the claimed compositions have good stability, even at temperatures of 250 F. and in the presence of air, and are essentially noncorrosive to metals such as aluminum, aluminum bronze alloy, iron, silver and titanium. A further advantage of the instant compositions is their outstanding hydrolytic stability.
  • improved hydraulic pressure devices can be prepared in accordance with this invention which comprise in combination a fluid chamber and an actuating fluid insaid chamber, said fluid comprising one of the compositions hereinbefore described.
  • performance characteristics are obtainable which are superior to those heretofore obtainable.
  • the novel functional fluids of this invention find utility in the transmission of power in a hydraulic system having a pump therein supplying the power for the system.
  • the parts which are so lubricated include the frictional surfaces of the source of power, namely the pump, valves, operating pistons and cylinders, fluid motors, and in some cases, for machine tools, the ways, tables and slides.
  • the hydraulic system may be of either the constant volume or the variable volume type.
  • the pumps may be of various types, including the pistontype pump, more particularly the variable-stroke piston pump, the variable-discharge of variable displacement piston pump, radial-piston pump, axial-piston pump, in which a pivoted cylinder block is adjusted at various angles with the piston assembly, for example, the Vickers Axial-Piston Pump, or in which the mechanism which drives the pistons is set at an angle adjustable with the cylinder block; gear-type pump, which may be spur, helical or herringbone gears, variations of internal gears, or a screw pump; or vane pumps.
  • the valves may be stop valves, reversing valves, pilot valves, throttling valves, sequence valves or relief valves.
  • Fluid motors are usually constant or variable discharge piston pumps caused to rotate by the pressure of the hydraulic fluid of the system with the power supplied by the pump power source. Such a hydraulic motor may be used in connection with a variable-discharge pump to form a variable speed transmission.
  • compositions of this invention can be utilized as gear lubricants in mechanical power trains.
  • Mild mineral oil E.P. gear lubricants currently employed commercially provide ratings within the ranges of 45 to 65 pounds when tested by the Timken Extreme Pressure Lubricant Testing Machine described above and typical para-ffrnic petroleum oil employed as a gear lubricant having a viscosity of about 300 SSU at 100 F. provide ratings in the range of only to pounds. Accordingly, in view of the high ratings reported in Table ill (50 to 65 pounds), compositions of this invention can be used alone or in combination with lubricant adjuvants as lubricants in automotive and other mobile equipment power trains.
  • compositions of this invention are heavier than water thus making their use as gear lubricants even more desirable in applications such as in sheet metal rolling mill power trains where water contamination is likely. This property allows water contamination to be more easily removed by flotation of the water and renders such water contamination less harmful than in prior lubricants containing mineral oil.
  • compositions of this invention can also contain dyes, pour point depressants, antioxidants, viscosity index improvers, such as polyalkylacrylates and polyalkylmethacrylates, anti-rust agents, hydrolytic stabilizers and the like where ever desired for special use requirements.
