Definitions

  • This invention relates to novel hydraulic fluids containing a specific combination of components which combination imparts beneficial properties to the fluid, particularly when used as aircraft hydraulic fluids.
  • Hydraulic fluids including those based on organic phosphate esters, are well known in the art and have been recognized for quite some time as advantageous for use in aircraft where they operate as a power transmission medium.
  • the aircraft hydraulic fluid is conventionally formulated to include additives such as viscosity index improvers, anti-erosion agents, acid scavengers, anti ⁇ oxidants, rust inhibitors and the like so that the composition meets the needs of modern aircraft.
  • One problem typically encountered with aircraft hydraulic fluids is that combinations of additives in a particular basestock do not always provide for the desired or expected combination of properties. For example, a combination of additives in one basestock may not perform nearly as well as in another basestock. Also, the inclusion of an additional additive into a hydraulic fluid formulation can deleteriously affect the performance of one or more of the additives already employed in that formulation.
  • the art has typically assigned some sort of incompatibility of the basestock with one or more of the additives employed in conjunction therewith or incompatibility of one additive with one or more of the other additives used in the formulation in order to explain this phenomena.
  • suitable aircraft hydraulic fluids is an empirical exercise and the formulator typically is required to balance the properties of the formulation against the particular additives and basestocks employed.
  • Particular problems of concern to the formulator include the inclusion of suitable acid scavengers, anti-erosion agents and viscosity index improvers in the aircraft hydraulic formulation.
  • aircraft hydraulic fluids commonly become contaminated with moisture. Water enters the hydraulic system with air bled from an engine compressor stage. During operation, the moisture level in the fluid can typically range from about 0.1 to about 0.5 weight percent. Water causes hydroiytic decomposition of phosphate esters to produce partial esters of phosphoric acid which can cause corrosion.
  • phosphate ester aircraft hydraulic fluids are conventionally formulated to contain an acid scavenger which neutralizes partial esters of phosphoric acid released by this hydroiytic breakdown.
  • an anti-erosion agent is incorporated into the aircraft hydraulic fluid to counteract erosive conditions typically occurring in the power transmission mechanisms of the aircraft.
  • Erosion is a form of electrochemical corrosion, more precisely referred to as zeta corrosion. The process of erosion results in the wearing of the metering edges of the hydraulic valves leading to degraded performance of the hydraulic systems. Erosion can also lead to metal contaminants, in ionic form, which reduce the oxidative stability of the fluid thereby accelerating corrosion and catalytically accelerating the decomposition of the phosphate ester basestock.
  • Viscosity index improvers are employed to limit the effect of temperature on the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid composition. Specifically, while viscosity control at both elevated and reduced temperatures is essential for the hydraulic fluid, it is critically important that viscosity control be maintained at reduced temperatures typically encountered during flights at high altitudes.
  • This invention overcomes the problems of the prior art by providing for an aircraft hydraulic fluid comprising a novel combination of additives and organic phosphate basestocks which provides excellent results in scavenging acid generated by the partial esters of phosphoric acid, in controlling erosion at the metering edges of the hydraulic servo valves, in reducing electrodeposited solids and in maintaining suitable viscosity over a wide range of temperatures.

  • R is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group of from 1 to 10 carbon atoms optionally containing from 1 to 4 ether oxygen atoms therein and cycloalkyl of from 3 to 10 carbon atoms
  • each R' is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of from 1 to 10 carbon atoms and -C(O)OR" where R" is alkyl of from 1 to 10 carbon atoms optionally containing from 1 to 4 ether oxygen atoms therein or cycloalkyl of from 3 to 10 carbon atoms

  • an anti-erosion agent which is a salt of perfluoroalkyl or perfluorocycloal
  • a phosphate basestock comprising a mixture of triaryl phosphate and trialkyl phosphate in aircraft hydraulic fluids
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,035,824 the use of alkali (e.g. , potassium) perfluoroalkyl or perfluorocycloalkyl sulfonate as an anti- erosion agent in aircraft hydraulic fluids is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,679,587; and the use of certain epoxides of the formula described above in aircraft hydraulic fluids is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,723,320.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un liquide hydraulique pour aéronef. Ce liquide est constitué d'une nouvelle combinaison d'additifs et d'huiles de base au phosphate organique, laquelle combinaison donne de bons résultats pour ce qui est du piégeage de l'acide produit par les esters partiels de l'acide phosphorique, pour ce qui est de la limitation de l'érosion au sein de la formulation et pour ce qui est de la réduction de l'électrodéposition de corps solides.
