Definitions
- This invention relates to uses of controlling particulate emissions from a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine, and in other aspects to the use of a combination of additives as a particulate emissions controlling additive in a fuel composition for a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine.
- the invention also relates to the use of a combination of additives as an additive for controlling the generation of complex poly-aromatic nuclei (CPAN) in a fuel composition for a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine.
- CPAN complex poly-aromatic nuclei
- spark-ignition internal combustion engines which are classified according to the type of system for delivering fuel to the engine combustion chambers:
- Vehicle emissions include particulate pollutants (PM), as well as ozone precursors such as nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and hydrocarbons.
- PM particulate pollutants
- NO x nitrogen oxides
- hydrocarbons hydrocarbons
- CPAN are thought to be precursors in the generation of particulate emissions.
- Particulate emissions from gasoline direct injection engines are now being mandated by legislation.
- An example of this is EU Commission Regulation No 582/2011, known as 'The Euro VI' emissions regulation, which came into force on 31 December 2013.
- Particulate emissions can impact the performance of an engine. For instance, within the gas flow of an engine, they can lead to clogging of the exhaust gas recirculation system, the exhaust gas after treatment system and the gasoline particulate filters. Particulate emissions can also lead to increases in turbo lag and response times in the engine.
- CPAN can also impact the performance of an engine in other ways. For instance, it is known in the art that CPAN can form soot-like particles that interfere with the anti-wear additive function in the lubricant pathway. Accordingly, CPAN can lead to wear on components in the lubricant pathway, such as the turbo, the timing chain, the crank train, and the camshaft and valve train assembly, including associated bearings and sealing systems. Control of CPAN generation and subsequent ingress into the lubricant will also maintain the performance of the lubricant including the lubricant additive chemistries thereby extending the required lubricant drain interval, especially under severe engine operating conditions. Other CPAN derived materials are believed to congregate within the combustion chamber. This can lead to an increase in octane requirement, as well as greater propensity for pre-ignition in the engine.
- US2004/118036 discloses that a fuel composition containing an alkylene oxide-adducted hydrocarbyl amide having from about 3 to 50 moles of alkylene oxide per mole of hydrocarbyl amide may reduce the particulate emissions in an internal combustion engine.

- PIBA polyisobutylene amine
- GB-A-2 010 324 relates to a dispersant additive for use in a hydrocarbon fuel, especially a fuel for a compression ignition engine, comprising a mixture of a polyalkylene amine and a Mannich base reaction product of an alkylphenol, an aldehyde and an amine.

Description
- This invention relates to uses of controlling particulate emissions from a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine, and in other aspects to the use of a combination of additives as a particulate emissions controlling additive in a fuel composition for a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine. The invention also relates to the use of a combination of additives as an additive for controlling the generation of complex poly-aromatic nuclei (CPAN) in a fuel composition for a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine.
- In general, there are two types of spark-ignition, internal combustion engines which are classified according to the type of system for delivering fuel to the engine combustion chambers:
- Port Fuel Injection (PFI) engines - engines in which a mixture of fuel and air is injected into intake ports and then passes into combustion chambers of the engine through one or more intake valves (sometimes also called inlet valves or inlet port valves).
- Direct Injection (DI) engines - engines in which fuel is injected directly into combustion chambers of the engine through injectors (sometimes also called direct injectors or direct injector nozzles) and air is introduced into the combustion chambers through one or more air intake valves (sometimes also called air inlet valves or air inlet port valves).
- Vehicle emissions include particulate pollutants (PM), as well as ozone precursors such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrocarbons.
- CPAN are thought to be precursors in the generation of particulate emissions. Particulate emissions from gasoline direct injection engines are now being mandated by legislation. An example of this is EU Commission Regulation No 582/2011, known as 'The Euro VI' emissions regulation, which came into force on 31 December 2013.
- Particulate emissions can impact the performance of an engine. For instance, within the gas flow of an engine, they can lead to clogging of the exhaust gas recirculation system, the exhaust gas after treatment system and the gasoline particulate filters. Particulate emissions can also lead to increases in turbo lag and response times in the engine.
- CPAN can also impact the performance of an engine in other ways. For instance, it is known in the art that CPAN can form soot-like particles that interfere with the anti-wear additive function in the lubricant pathway. Accordingly, CPAN can lead to wear on components in the lubricant pathway, such as the turbo, the timing chain, the crank train, and the camshaft and valve train assembly, including associated bearings and sealing systems. Control of CPAN generation and subsequent ingress into the lubricant will also maintain the performance of the lubricant including the lubricant additive chemistries thereby extending the required lubricant drain interval, especially under severe engine operating conditions. Other CPAN derived materials are believed to congregate within the combustion chamber. This can lead to an increase in octane requirement, as well as greater propensity for pre-ignition in the engine.

The amount of Mannich Base additive used in the experiment was selected to give a typical port fuel injection valve keep-clean performance. Experiment B - combination of Mannich Base additive and Mannich Base additive
- The particulate emissions control performance of a fuel containing a combination of two Mannich Base additives was assessed.

Increase in injector pulse width may be used as a measure of the detergency of fuel compositions.

Figure 1 , with a reference base fuel as comparison. - The data shown in
Figure 1 demonstrates that the fuel composition comprising a Mannich Base additive in combination with a polyisobutylene amine exhibits beneficial particulate emissions control in a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine.

The comparison of the fuels is made at concentrations of additives providing comparable keep-clean performance, when measured using the industry standard test method: CEC-F-20-A-98. - It can be inferred from the data that the generation of CPAN is controlled by a fuel composition comprising a Mannich Base additive and a polyisobutylene amine.
