Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a new discovery that adding certain compounds to a lubricating oil can prevent or reduce pre-ignition in an engine. This means that lubricating oils can be formulated to prevent this issue without needing other solutions. The compounds added to the oil also prevent low-speed pre-ignition, which is common in vehicles. This new formulation is easy to use and can be implemented in engines without causing any issues. Overall, this patent provides a solution to prevent pre-ignition in engines, which can lead to improved stability and performance.

Problems solved by technology

However, in some cases, the air / fuel mixture may be prematurely ignited by an ignition source prior to ignition by the spark of the spark plug, resulting in a phenomenon known as pre-ignition.
It is preferable to reduce or even eliminate pre-ignition, as this generally results in the presence of a sharp increase in temperatures and pressures in the combustion chamber, and may thus lead to a significant negative impact on the efficiency and the overall performance of an engine.
In addition, pre-ignition may cause significant damage to the cylinders, pistons, spark plugs and valves in the engine and in some cases may even lead to engine failure or even engine damage.
Recently, Low Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) has been identified, particularly by car manufacturers, as a potential problem for small engines (or downsized engines).
LSPI typically occurs at low speeds and high loads, and may cause serious damage to pistons and / or cylinders.
However, these solutions remain still insufficient to significantly reduce pre-ignition and are difficult to implement, especially in countries where a high level of basicity is required in fuels.
In addition, problems of lubricant stability or compatibility with post-treatment systems are associated with these solutions.
However, these light organic compounds could cause an excessive increase in lubricant volatility.

Evaluation of the Pre-Ignition Reduction Properties of the Lubricating Compositions according to the invention Cl1 and Cl2 and of the comparative lubricating composition CC1

[0211]This evaluation is performed by evaluating the impact of each lubricating composition on the low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI).

[0212]For this, the LSPI phenomenon is quantified by means of a GM Ecotech model spark ignition turbocharged engine composed of 4 cylinders in line for a total displacement of 2.0 L.

[0213]After a heating period of 20 minutes at an engine speed of 2000 rpm and an engine load of 4.105 Pascal effective average pressure (EAP), the test procedure consists of 2 sequences under heavy load (23.105 Pascal EAP at a speed of 2.000 rpm), 2 sequences under low load (13.105 Pascal of EAP at a speed of 1.250 rpm) and 2 sequences under heavy load identical to the first 2. Each sequence comprises 25.000 motor cycles to ensure a good statistical representativeness of the phenomenon studied.
