Embodiment 1

[0078] The tests were carried out on three hydrocarbon base fuel gasolines. Comparative Example A is a base fuel widely used in fuel sold in the Netherlands in 2002. Comparative Example B corresponds to Comparative Example A, where heavy platinum reformate (the higher boiling fraction of refinery steam produced by reforming naphtha over a platinum catalyst) is added to increase aromatics. Example 1 corresponds to Comparative Example A, where light FCC gasoline (the lower boiling fraction of a refinery stream produced by catalytic cracking of heavier hydrocarbons) is added to increase olefins. The sulfur content of the fuel was adjusted to 50 ppmw S by adding dimethyl sulfide where necessary to eliminate possible effects caused by differences in sulfur content.

[0079] The resulting fuel has the properties given in Table 2:-

Embodiment 2 and 3

[0090] Four hydrocarbon base fuel gasolines were tested. Comparative Example C was the base fuel widely used in fuels sold in the Netherlands in 2002. Comparative Example D corresponds to Comparative Example C where heavy platinum reformate was added to increase aromatics. Example 1 corresponds to Comparative Example C, wherein 15 parts by volume of diisobutene is added for every 85 parts by volume of the base fuel of Comparative Example C. Diisobutene is a mixture of 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene and 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene in proportions obtained by commercial manufacture. Example 3 corresponds to Comparative Example C, wherein the refinery stream of C5 and C6-olefins was added in a ratio of 15 parts by volume olefins per 85 parts by volume of the base fuel of Comparative Example C.

[0091] The resulting fuel has the properties given in Table 4:-

Embodiment 4

[0099] A fuel similar to Comparative Example C (Comparative Example E) was mixed with diisobutene and ethanol to obtain a gasoline composition containing 10% v / v diisobutene and 5% v / v ethanol (Example 4). The resulting gasoline contained 13.02% v olefins, had an initial boiling point of 40°C, a final boiling point of 168.5°C, and met the other parameters of the present invention. The fuel was tested in a Toyota Avensis 2.0 liter VVT-i direct injection spark ignition engine relative to Comparative Example E, and relative to the same base fuel containing 5% v / v ethanol (Comparative Example F). Comparative Example E and Comparative Example F were not within the parameters of the present invention due to their olefin content (3.51% v / v and 3.33% v / v total olefins, respectively).

Abstract

Method of improving the oxidative stability of a lubricating composition which is used to lubricate a spark ignition internal combustion engine, the spark- ignition engine being comprised within the powertrain of a hybrid electric vehicle, wherein the method comprises the step of introducing into the combustion chamber of the spark-ignition engine a gasoline composition wherein the gasoline composition comprises a hydrocarbon base fuel containing 10 to 20% v olefins, not greater than 5% v olefins of at least 10 carbon atoms, and not greater than 5% v aromatics of at least 10 carbon atoms, based on the base fuel, initial boiling point in the range 30 to 40DEG C, T10 in the range 45 to 57 DEG C, T50 in the range 82 to 104 DEG C, T90 in the range 140 to 150 DEG C and final boiling point not greater than 220 DEG C.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of improving the oxidative stability of a lubricating composition for lubricating a spark ignition combustion engine housed in a powertrain of a hybrid electric vehicle. Background technique [0002] The rising cost of hydrocarbon fuels and growing concerns about the environmental impact of carbon dioxide emissions have resulted in a growing demand for motor vehicles that run partially or fully on electrical energy. [0003] Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) utilize electrical energy stored in rechargeable batteries and mechanical energy converted from fuel (usually hydrocarbons) by a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE). The battery is charged during driving maneuvers of the ICE and is also charged by restoring kinetic energy during deceleration and braking. Many vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) offer this process for some of their models. HEVs generally provide a normal driving experie...
