Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lubricating oils, and in particular relates to a high-stability composite antifoaming agent, a preparation method and application thereof, and marine lubricating oil. Background Art

[0002] During the use of lubricating oil, it comes into contact with mixed air and generates bubbles through circulation. The generation of foam will bring many harms to the oil-using equipment and the lubricating oil itself, causing dry friction of mechanical parts, and may also cause air blockage to interrupt the oil supply of the oil pump, causing the wear of mechanical parts to increase and even damage. After the lubricating oil foams, the contact surface value with the air increases, which promotes the oxidation and deterioration of the lubricating oil and shortens the service life of the lubricating oil. Bubbles may even cause the lubricating oil to overflow and cause oil shortage accidents. In order to prevent the lubricating oil from generating a large number of bubbles and foams during the use of the equipment, anti-foaming agents are usually added to the oil to eliminate or inhibit foam. This method is simple and has the best effect, so it is widely used.

[0003] At present, the antifoaming agents used in the market are mainly divided into three categories: silicon-type, non-silicon-type and composite antifoaming agents. Silicon-type antifoaming agents are commonly used in polydimethylsiloxane, which has a good ability to inhibit foam at about 5-20ppm, but the solubility in lubricating oil and water is very low, and it is dispersed in the lubricating oil in the form of liquid droplets. With the extension of storage time, the organic silicon polymer antifoaming agent will be unstable and aggregate and settle, causing the performance of the antifoaming agent to fail. Non-silicon antifoaming agents are commonly used in acrylic acid ester non-silicon copolymers, which have better solubility in lubricating oil than silicon-type antifoaming agents, small dispersed particle size, less effect on air release, not easy to precipitate in oil products, and good antifoaming durability, but the amount added in lubricating oil is large, and it has good antifoaming performance only when the addition amount is 100-200ppm. When the addition amount is very low, the speed of eliminating foam is slow, and the time to eliminate the same volume of foam is even several times that of silicone oil.

[0004] Composite antifoaming agents balance the advantages and disadvantages of silicone oil and non-silicone antifoaming agents, and are composed of an appropriate proportion of the two. China Invention Patent Application Publication Specification CN105385484A proposes a method of compounding an organic fluorine-modified siloxane antifoaming agent with a copolymer of octyl acrylate and vinyl acetate; China Invention Patent Application Publication Specification CN104232246A proposes a method of compounding silicone oil, fluorine-containing silicone oil and acrylate polymer as an antifoaming agent. The antifoaming agent compositions disclosed in the above patent documents cannot meet the antifoaming performance indicators of marine medium-speed engine oils, and as the storage time increases, the antifoaming agent in the lubricating oil will gradually precipitate, and the antifoaming effect will be less durable. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to develop an antifoaming agent composition with good antifoaming effect and long-term storage, which is suitable for marine medium-speed engine oils with severe foaming effects. Summary of the invention

[0005] One of the technical problems to be solved by the present invention is that most of the existing composite antifoaming agents cannot meet the antifoaming index of marine lubricating oil, the antifoaming performance of the oil is unstable, and the amount of antifoaming agent added is large. Provided is a new composite antifoaming agent, which has good dispersibility in lubricating oil, excellent antifoaming performance of the oil, small addition amount, and stable storage.

[0071] Application Examples

[0072] This application example provides a method for preparing a medium-speed engine oil composition for a ship, and the specific details are as follows:

[0073] The composite antifoaming agents 1#, 2#, 3#, 4# prepared in the above Examples 1 to 4 and the antifoaming agents of Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were weighed and added to Great Wall 4012 marine medium-speed diesel engine oil, with the added amount being 0.08% by weight of the marine medium-speed engine oil. The mixture was stirred at 58° C. for 15 to 60 min until the antifoaming agent was evenly dispersed in the marine medium-speed engine oil, and the transparency of the oil was observed.

[0074] The marine medium speed engine oil obtained in the application example was subjected to a composition foam tendency test, and the specific test method is as follows:

[0075] Using a lubricating oil foam performance tester, various marine medium-speed engine oil compositions obtained according to the corresponding examples of the standard method of GB / T 12579 "Lubricating Oil Foam Property Determination Method" were tested for foam performance, and the anti-foam stability of the medium-speed engine oil added with the anti-foaming agent composition was investigated by the static storage method. The medium-speed engine oil composition was stored at room temperature, and the changes in the foam performance of the medium-speed engine oil composition were recorded over time. The smaller the foam volume generated by the oil product and the more it can be completely defoamed within the specified time, the better the anti-foam performance of the marine medium-speed engine oil. The test results are shown in Table 2:

[0076] Table 2 Test results of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7

[0077]

[0078] Table 2 shows that the composite antifoaming agents 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4# prepared in Examples 1-4 have a small foaming volume and can eliminate the foam within the specified time, and have excellent antifoaming effects; as the storage time increases, the antifoaming property and antifoaming stability of the medium-speed engine oil added with the composition of T901 and 9188 are the best, followed by the medium-speed engine oil added with the composition of T901 and 9138. Comparison of the composite antifoaming agent 1# prepared in Example 1 and the composite antifoaming agents A, B, and C prepared in Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3 shows that the antifoaming performance of the composite antifoaming agent composition prepared by each component is better than that of each single component. The foaming volume of Comparative Examples 4, 5, 6, and 7 has exceeded the index of the oil product and there is foam that has not been eliminated, which cannot meet the requirements. Although the foaming volume of Comparative Examples 5 and 7 is small, some foam has not been eliminated within the specified time, and as the storage time increases, the antifoaming property gradually deteriorates, and the antifoaming index of the oil product cannot be met. Compared with Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 4-7, the anti-foaming effect in medium-speed engine oil is good, and the anti-foaming stability is also good as the storage time increases.

[0079] In summary, the composite antifoaming agent composition of the present invention and the existing composite antifoaming agents on the market utilize the characteristics of good antifoaming properties of silicon-type antifoaming agents in small doses and good dispersion stability of non-silicon-type antifoaming agents, and improve the dispersion stability of the antifoaming agent by adding a co-solvent, thereby improving the antifoaming performance of the lubricating oil, and achieving better technical effects.

[0080] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
