Solution Overview

Problem

Existing detergents fail to effectively suppress engine deposit formation and provide adequate anticorrosion performance, leading to engine performance issues and reduced service life.

Innovation Solution

A novel Mannich base is developed through a process involving the reaction of a phenolic compound, a polyalkylenepolyamine, and a C1-C7 linear or branched saturated aliphatic aldehyde, which is used to produce a detergent with enhanced deposit formation suppression and anticorrosion properties.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If prior art detergents are used to suppress deposit formation, then some deposit suppression performance is achieved, but anticorrosion performance is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeposit formation suppressionVSAvoidanticorrosion performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The detergent comprises a composite additive system containing Mannich base (deposit suppressant), carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid (anticorrosion agents), and phenolic compounds. This composite formulation simultaneously addresses both deposit formation and corrosion issues that single-component detergents cannot resolve

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent specifies precise compositional parameters including Mannich base content (0.1-5% by weight), carboxylic acid content (0.01-1% by weight), and phenolic compound content (0.1-3% by weight). By optimizing these parameters, the detergent achieves balanced performance in both deposit suppression and corrosion protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If existing detergent formulations are used, then basic deposit suppression is provided, but engine service life is reduced due to corrosion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeposit formationVSAvoidengine service life
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The detergent applies preliminary protective action by forming protective films on metal surfaces through carboxylic acid and sulfonic acid components before corrosion can occur. This preventive mechanism protects engine parts throughout their service life, extending durability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The multi-component detergent system combines deposit suppressants with corrosion inhibitors, providing dual functionality that simultaneously protects against both deposit formation and corrosion, thereby extending engine service life

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
