Definitions

  • Esters and particularly glycerol esters, have been used as friction modifiers in motor oils.
  • U. S. Patent No. 4,495,088, issued January 22, 1985 to Listen discloses lubricating oils containing borated fatty acid esters of glycerol and a succinimide.
  • the fatty acid monoester of glycerol is said to be preferred, though mixtures of mono- and diesters may be used.
  • mixtures contain at least 40% of the monoester.
  • the mixtures of mono- and diesters contain from 40 to 60 percent by weight of the monoesters.
  • commercial glycerol monooleate contains a mixture of from 45 % to 55% by weight monoester and from 55% to 45 % diester.
  • U. S. Patent No. 4,683,069, issued July 28, 1987 to Brewster et al. discloses lubricating oil compositions which contain 0.05 to 0.2 wt. % of a glycerol partial ester of a C 16 -C 18 fatty acid as a fuel economy additive.
  • Optimum efficiency is said to be found at about the 0.2 weight percent level and use in excess of this amount is said to be possibly detrimental to the overall performance of the lubricating oil composition.
  • a mixture of glycerol monooleate (GMO) and glycerol dioleate (GDO) in a weight ratio of 3 parts GMO to 2 parts GDO is used in a lubricating oil.
  • GMO glycerol monooleate
  • GDO glycerol dioleate
  • Example 2 uses this GMO/GDO mixture at levels of 0.3, 0.5, 0.4 and 0.9 wt. %.
  • European Patent No. 0092946, published November 2, 1983 discloses lubricating oil compositions containing 0.2 wt.
  • Example 2 uses this GMO/GDO mixture at levels of 0.3, 0.5, 0.4 and 0.9 wt. %.
  • European Patent No. 0466297 published January 15, 1992, discloses the use of mono-, di- or triesters of glycerol in lubricating oils to improve compatibility with nitrile rubbers.
  • the ester can be used in an amount from 0.01 to 3.0 weight percent based on the weight of the oil composition.
  • a lubricating oil composition comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and, in an amount effective to reduce fuel consumption in an internal combustion engine, a monoester of glycerol and a carboxylic acid containing 12 to 20 carbon atoms and 0 to 3 double bonds, or a mixture of a monoester and a diester of glycerol and a carboxylic acid containing 12 to 20 carbon atoms and 0 to 3 double bonds wherein at least 75 mole percent of the mixture is monoester.
  • Also provided in accordance with this invention is a method for reducing the fuel consumption of an internal combustion engine comprising treating the moving surfaces thereof with a lubricating oil composition comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and, in an amount effective to reduce fuel consumption in the internal combustion engine, a monoester of glycerol and a carboxylic acid containing 12 to 20 carbon atoms and 0 to 3 double bonds, or a mixture of a monoester and a diester of glycerol and a carboxylic acid containing 12 to 20 carbon atoms and 0 to 3 double bonds wherein at least 75 mole percent of the mixture is monoester.
  • glycerol esters of fatty acids are prepared by reacting glycerol and a fatty acid.
  • the product of this reaction is often referred to as, e.g., glyceryl monooleate.
  • glyceryl monooleate is often referred to as, e.g., glyceryl monooleate.
  • glyceryl monooleate because the starting acid was oleic acid
  • a typical commercial product contains esters of acids other than oleic acid, because the "oleic acid” used to prepare the ester is, in fact, a mixture of acids of which oleic acid may constitute only about 70 mole percent of the acids.
  • a typical commercial "glyceryl monooleate” may actually contain only about 38-40 mole percent glyceryl monooleate.
  • Canadian Patent No. 1,137,463, issued December 14, 1982, and Canadian Patent No. 1,157,846, issued November 29, 1983 confirm this usage of the term "glyceryl monooleate" when referring to a mixture of mono-, di, and/or triesters.
  • esters of the present invention are also prepared by reacting glycerol and a C ⁇ 2 -C 2 o carboxylic acid containing 0 to 3 double bonds in a conventional manner well known in the art.
  • the preferred acid is oleic acid.
  • the resulting product is a mixture of mono-, di- and triesters.
  • this reaction mixture is then distilled using conventional techniques, and the monoester portion of the distillate is recovered. This can result in a product which is essentially all monoester.
  • the esters used in the lubricating oil compositions of this invention may be all monoesters, or a mixture of mono- and diesters in which at least 75 mole percent, preferably at least 90 mole percent, of the mixture is the monoester.
  • the monoester or mixture of mono- and diesters is used in an amount effective to reduce fuel consumption in an internal combustion engine.
  • the lubricating compositions of this invention contain at least 0.3, preferably 0.3 to 2.0 weight percent of the monoester or mixture of mono- and diesters.
  • the esters of this invention may also be borated. Boration passivates hydroxyl groups on the glycerol portion of the esters which helps improve compatibility with rubber seals.
  • the borated product can be prepared by borating the ester with boric acid with removal of the water of reaction.
  • there is sufficient boron present such that each boron will react with from 1.5 to 2.5 hydroxyl groups present in the reaction mixture.
  • the reaction may be carried out at a temperature in the range of 60°C. to 135°C, in the absence or presence of any suitable organic solvent such as methanol, benzene, xylenes, toluene, neutral oil and the like.
  • a method for borating esters is disclosed in U. S. Patent No. 4,495,088, issued January 22, 1985 to Liston, which is incorporated by reference.
  • the lubricating oil used in the compositions of this invention may be mineral or synthetic oils of viscosity suitable for use in the crankcase of an internal combustion engine.
  • Crankcase lubricating oils ordinarily have a viscosity of about 1300 cSt at 0°F. to 22.7 cSt at 210°F. (99°C).
  • the lubricating oils may be derived from synthetic or natural sources.
  • Mineral oils useful in this invention include paraffinic, naphthenic and other oils used in lubricating oil compositions.
  • Synthetic oils include both hydrocarbon synthetic oils and synthetic esters.
  • Useful synthetic hydrocarbon oils include liquid polymers of alpha olefms having the proper viscosity.
  • Useful synthetic esters include the esters of both monocarboxylic and polycarboxylic acids as well as monohydroxy alkanols and polyols. It has been found that the effect of the esters of this invention on lubricating oil compositions is most pronounced in oils that have a relatively low viscosity.
