    Description
    Fuel Additives to Maintain Optimum Injector Performance
    Technical area
    The present invention relates to certain diesel fuel additives and diesel fuels and diesel fuel additive concentrates that include the additive. In particular, the disclosure relates to a diesel fuel additive that is effective in increasing the performance of diesel fuel injectors.
    Background and summary
    It has long been desired to maximize fuel economy, horsepower and driveability in diesel powered vehicles while increasing acceleration, reducing emissions and preventing hesitation. While gasoline engine performance can be increased by using dispersants to keep valves and fuel injectors clean, such gasoline dispersants are not necessarily effective in diesel fuel applications. The reasons for this unpredictability are based on many differences between the way the diesel engine and the gasoline engine operate and the chemical differences between diesel and gasoline.
    Over the years, dispersant compositions for diesel fuel have been developed. Dispersant compositions known in the art for use in diesel fuel include compositions which may include polyalkylene succinimides, which are the products of the reaction of succinic anhydrides of polyalkylene and amines. Dispersants are suitable for maintaining soot and sludge in suspension in the fluid, however, they are not particularly effective at cleaning surfaces once deposits have formed on the surfaces. Thus, diesel fuel compositions that include dispersants often still produce undesirable deposits on diesel engine injectors. Therefore, improved compositions that can prevent, deposit build-up, maintaining a clean "as new" for the life of. vehicles are desired. Ideally, the same composition that can clean the soiled fuel injectors by restoring the performance of the previous state "as good as new" would also be desirable and valuable for the purpose of reducing emissions to the atmosphere.
    Embodiments of the invention provide diesel fuel, a diesel fuel additive concentrate, and a method for improving the fuel injector performance of a diesel engine. Diesel fuel includes a major amount of middle distillate fuel; and a reaction product of a hydrocarbyl-substituted dicarboxylic acid or anhydride and an amine compound or salt thereof. The amine compound has the formula
    wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a hydrocarbyl group containing from about 1 to about 15 carbon atoms, and R 1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a hydrocarbyl group containing from about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms. The reaction product contains at least one aminotriazole moiety and is present in the fuel in an amount sufficient to improve the performance of the fuel injectors.
    Another embodiment of the invention provides a method of improving the performance of the injector of a diesel engine. The method includes operating the diesel engine with a fuel having a major amount of fuel and a minor amount of a reaction product derived from an amine compound or salt thereof of the formula
    wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a hydrocarbyl group containing from about 1 to about 15 carbon atoms, and R 1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a hydrocarbyl group containing from about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms and a hydrocarbyl carbonyl compound of the formula
    wherein R2 is a hydrocarbyl group having a number average molecular weight ranging from about 200 to about 3000.
    Another embodiment of the invention provides a method of cleaning the fuel injectors of a diesel fuel injection engine. The method includes operating the diesel engine with a fuel having a major amount of fuel and a minor amount of a reaction product derived from an amine compound or salt thereof of the formula
    wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a hydrocarbyl group containing from about 1 to about 15 carbon atoms, and R 1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a hydrocarbyl group containing from about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, and a hydrocarbyl carbonyl compound of the formula
    wherein R2 is a hydrocarbyl group having a number average molecular weight ranging from about 200 to about 3000.
    An advantage of the fuel additive described herein is that the additive can not only reduce the amount of deposits. forming on direct and / or indirect diesel fuel injection systems, but the additive can also be effective in cleaning dirty fuel injection systems. Deposition reduction and the cleaning effect of the additive are demonstrated in engine technology in the post-2007 years.

    EXAMPLES
    The following examples are illustrative of exemplary embodiments of the present invention. In these examples, as well as elsewhere in this application, all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated. It should be understood that these examples are presented by way of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention disclosed herein.
    Example 1. Polybutenyl succinic anhydride of molecular weight 950 is heated to 95 ° C. An aminoguanidine bicarbonate oil slurry (AGBC) is added over a period of 45 minutes. The mixture is heated under vacuum at 160 ° C and maintained at this temperature for about 6 hours, removing water and carbon dioxide. The resulting mixture is filtered.
    In the following example, an injector deposition test is performed on a diesel engine using a conventional diesel engine injector test as described below.
    Test program
    The test program used is described by Graupner et al. "Injector deposit test for modem diesel engines", Technische Akademie Esslingen, 5th International Colloquium, 12-13 January 2005, 3.10, p57, edited by Wilfried J. Bartz. Briefly, the program uses a modern diesel engine with a highlight of the formation of the deposit on the fuel injector, 1 / test is broken down into 5 steps: a) measurement of the power output of the engine b) a lap of 8 hours endurance c) a prolonged soaking period (3 to 8 hours) during which the engine is stopped and allowed to cool d) a second endurance lap of 8 hours e) measurement of the output power of the engine
    For the data presented here, the above five steps are used, however, steps b), c) and d) can be repeated several times depending on the current testing program. Similarly, steps a) and e) may be omitted but are useful for improving the understanding of the results. The results are reported as the difference between a mean actual power at the start of the test during step a) and an average actual power at the end of the test during step e). Alternatively, if step a) and step e) of the above procedure are not performed, the difference measured between the actual starting power at full load / full speed and ultimate load / speed can be used. Differences in smoke production are also noted. The depot formation on the injector will have a negative influence on the final output power and will increase the amount of smoke observed. In order to replicate the expected conditions in a modern diesel engine, a small amount of metallic contamination in the form of zinc neodecanoate is added to the fuel used to run the engine. In the table, BAT is a bis-aminotriazole compound as described above.
    As shown in the previous example, the bis-aminotriazole compound provides virtually no real power loss in a diesel fuel that has been doped with zinc. This result is surprising and totally unexpected. Therefore, it is believed that the bis-aminotriazole compositions as described herein can be effective in keeping the surfaces of the diesel fuel injectors clean.
