Definitions

  • the effective bulk modulus of a fluid is a calculated value that takes into account 1) the static bulk modulus of the fluid, which is a function of temperature and pressure and can be obtained through ASTM D6793, and 2) the air release properties of the lubricant, which can be assessed via ASTM D3427.
  • the general equation for system effective bulk modulus is listed as follows:
  • ⁇ e is effective bulk modulus of the system
  • V e is the effective volume within the system
  • V 1 is the volume of liquid
  • ⁇ 1 is the bulk modulus of the liquid
  • V a is the volume of air
  • ⁇ a is the bulk modulus of air
  • ⁇ c is the bulk modulud of the container.
  • the portions of ⁇ e that can be controlled are the bulk modulus of the fluid and the volume of the air present in the pressurized system. Air entrainment is often a function of system design and maintenance, but the rate of entrained air release can be modified in one fluid versus another to achieve the most favorable effective bulk modulus for a particular system.
  • Air entrainment is a small amount of air in the form of extremely small bubbles (generally less than 1 mm in diameter) dispersed throughout the bulk of the oil. Agitation of lubricating oil with air in equipment, such as bearings, couplings, gears, pumps, and oil return lines, may produce a dispersion of finely divided air bubbles in the oil. If the residence time in the reservoir is too short to allow the air bubbles to rise to the oil surface, a mixture of air and oil will circulate through the lubricating oil system. This may result in an inability to maintain oil pressure (particularly with centrifugal pumps), incomplete oil films in bearings and gears, and poor hydraulic system performance or failure.
  • Air entrainment is treated differently than foam, and is most often a completely separate problem.
  • a partial list of potential effects of air entrainment include: pump cavitation; spongy, erratic operation of hydraulics, loss of precision control, vibrations, oil oxidation, component wear due to reduced lubricant viscosity, equipment shut down when low oil pressure switches trip, “micro-dieseling” due to ignition of the bubble sheath at the high temperatures generated by compressed air bubbles, safety problems in turbines if overspeed devices do not react quickly enough, and loss of head in centrifugal pumps.
  • ASTM D-3427 One commonly used method to measure air release properties of petroleum oils is ASTM D-3427. This test method measures air content via density at given time intervals following aeration at temperatures specified by viscosity grade. Air release performance is reported either in air content at various time intervals or the time required for the air entrained in the oil to reduce in volume to either 0.1% or 0.2% is recorded as the air release time. Typically, for hydraulic oil and for purposes of this application, all air release measurements are performed at 50° C.
  • a novel lubricant formulation comprises at least one base stock and at least one additive, wherein the base stock has a density at 15.6° C. of greater than 0.9 and a ASTM D-3427 air release of less than 1.25 percent air at 1 minute.
  • a method of achieving favorable efficiency properties in a system comprises determining a favorable hydraulic efficiency requirement of the system, obtaining a hydraulic oil to achieve a favorable hydraulic efficiency property using a relationship between the hydraulic oil's density and bulk modulus to obtain a high bulk modulus hydraulic oil, and lubricating the system with the lubricant.
  • a method for blending a novel formulation comprises obtaining at least one base stock chosen to have a favorable air release properties, obtaining at least one additive, blending at least one base stock and at least one additive to achieve a favorable ⁇ e using a relationship between density and bulk modulus.
  • FIG. 1 is a graph showing air release properties as graphed versus density for different base oils in the 41.4-50.6 cSt at 40° C. range.
  • FIG. 2 is a graph showing air release graphed vs. isothermal secant bulk modulus at 34.47 MPA (5,000 PSI) and 60° C.
  • FIG. 3 is a graph of density with bulk modulus data.
  • FIG. 4 is a graph that illustrates several line profiles for air release as a function of viscosity grade.
  • base stocks provide system efficiency gains versus a Group I or Group II hydraulic oil formulation.
  • These base stocks providing favorable efficiency gains include GTL base stocks, PAO blends, Esters and PAG Fluids.
  • Table 1 details base oils and the improvements versus Group I/II base oils in terms of achieving a ⁇ e and thus, volumetric efficiency, improvement.
  • a novel combination of base stocks densities and bulk modulus provide unexpected favorable improvements in efficiency.
  • hydraulic oils range in viscosity from 10 cST, Kv40° C. to 150 cST, Kv40° C. and provide the ability to perform work. While there are small volumes of other base stocks commercially sold, they are marketed for niche applications, such as biodegradable and fire resistance and there are no claims to efficiency gains. Original equipment manufacturers are now considering moving to higher system pressures where fluids that contribute to efficiency will be more important in the future.
  • suitable lubricant base stocks include PAOs, Group III, GTL, Aromatic Esters, Polyol Esters, Alkylated Aromatics, Phosphate Esters, and any combinations thereof.
  • the lubricant comprises an ester base stock of at least 20 percent of the composition and more preferably at least 40 percent of the composition.
  • FIG. 1 is a graph showing air release properties as graphed versus density for different base oils in the 41.4-50.6 cSt at 40C. range. As shown in FIG. 1 , the most favorable base stocks exhibit high density and favorable air release properties.

  • the most preferred range 14 would be a bulk modulus of greater than 215,000 and an ASTM D-3427 air release of less than 0.5 minutes.
  • a method of formulating a high efficiency hydraulic fluid is disclosed. This method may work through consideration of System design and fluid density, bulk modulus, and air release properties.
  • the most favorable method is dependant on whether the system entrains air during normal operations. For systems incurring minimal to no air entrainment, base stocks with high bulk modulus are selected, as the volume of air will be negligible in the expression for ⁇ e .
  • the bulk modulus is predicted through the general linear increase of bulk modulus with density.
  • FIG. 3 is a graph of density with bulk modulus data. This figure illustrates the general relationship of higher density equals higher bulk modulus.
  • the most preferred range 31 has a density of greater than 0.9 and a bulk modulus of greater than 215,000.
  • fluids with good air release properties are selected, with high bulk modulus and high density being in the most Preferred range of FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • lower bulk modulus and density may be acceptable as a preferred range with air release properties defined as acceptable as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • the air release performance of base stocks follows the pattern of light viscosities are better than heavy viscosities which are better than ultra heavy viscosity components. In others words, light viscosities exhibit the best performance whereas the ultra heavy viscosity components exhibit the worst air release properties.

  • GTL base stocks and base oils typically have very low sulfur and nitrogen content, generally containing less than about 10 ppm, and more typically less than about 5 ppm of each of these elements.
  • the sulfur and nitrogen content of GTL base stock and base oil obtained by the hydroisomerization/isodewaxing of F-T material, especially F-T wax is essentially nil.
  • the GTL base stock(s) comprises paraffinic materials that consist predominantly of non-cyclic isoparaffins and only minor amounts of cycloparaffins.
  • These GTL base stock(s) typically comprise paraffinic materials that consist of greater than 60 wt % non-cyclic isoparaffins, preferably greater than 80 wt % non-cyclic isoparaffins, more preferably greater than 85 wt % non-cyclic isoparaffins, and most preferably greater than 90 wt % non-cyclic isoparaffins.
  • compositions of GTL base stock(s), hydroisomerized or isodewaxed F-T material derived base stock(s), and wax-derived hydroisomerized/isodewaxed base stock(s), such as wax isomerates/isodewaxates are recited in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,080,301; 6,090,989, and 6,165,949 for example.
  • the additives include various commercially available industrial oil components and packages, which may include antiwear, antioxidant, defoamant, demulsifier, detergent, dispersant, metal passivation, and rust inhibition additive chemistries to deliver desired performance.
  • the preferred ashless antioxidants are hindered phenols and arylamines. Typical examples are butylated/octylated/styrenated/nonylated/dodecylated diphenylamines, 4,4′-methylene bis-(2,6-di-tert-butylphenol), 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, octylated phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine, alkyl ester of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-phenyl propionic acid, and many others. Sulfur-containing antioxidants, such as sulfur linked hindered phenols and thiol esters can also be used.
  • Suitable dispersants include borated and non-borated succinimides, succinic acid-esters and amides, alkylphenol-polyamine coupled Mannich adducts, other related components and any combination thereof. In some embodiments, it can often be advantageous to use mixtures of such above described dispersants and other related dispersants.
  • Examples include additives that are borated, those that are primarily of higher molecular weight, those that consist of primarily mono-succinimide, bis-succinimide, or mixtures of above, those made with different amines, those that are end-capped, dispersants wherein the back-bone is derived from polymerization of branched olefins such as polyisobutylene or from polymers such as other polyolefins other than polyisobutylene, such as ethylene, propylene, butene, similar dispersants and any combination thereof.
  • the averaged molecular weight of the hydrocarbon backbone of most dispersants, including polyisobutylene is in the range from 1000 to 6000, preferably from 1500 to 3000 and most preferably around 2200.
  • Suitable detergents include but are not limited to calcium phenates, calcium sulfonates, calcium salicylates, magnesium phenates, magnesium sulfonates, magnesium salicylates, metal carbonates, related components including borated detergents, and any combination thereof.
  • the detergents can be neutral, mildly overbased, or highly overbased.
  • Metal detergents have been chosen from alkali or alkaline earth calcium or magnesium phenates, sulfonates, salicylates, carbonates and similar components.
  • Inhibitors and antirust additives may be used as needed.
  • Seal swell control components and defoamants may be used with the mixtures of this invention. Suitable defoamants include polydimethyl siloxane and polymacrylates.
  • antiwear and/or friction modifiers may also be utilized.
  • examples include but are not limited to alkylated dithiocarbamates, alkyl phosphate esters, aryl phosphate esters, thiophosphates, amine phosphates, and dithiophosphates, alkylated phosphonate esters, aliphatic succinimides, molybdenum compounds, acid amides, and any combination thereof.
  • Additives in hydraulic fluids generally comprise less than 10 weight percent of the fully formulated fluid. As such, the density contributions and therefore bulk modulus contributions of additives are assumed to be negligible in the approximations of ⁇ 1 .
  • Performance additives can impact air release and in general, they are either air release neutral or detract from the air release properties of the base fluid. As such, additives should be selected (type and quantity) such that they meet basic performance characteristics while having minimal negative impact upon air release.
