  • Lubricating composition suitable for diesel engines
    Patent number: 7598212
    Abstract: An improved lubricating composition suitable for diesel engines comprising a major amount of at least one oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor amount of an alkylamine-alkylphosphate additive. The alkylamine-alkylphosphate additive comprises from at least 1.25 equivalents of alkylamine to 1.0 equivalents of alkylphosphate.
    Type: Grant

  • Modification of lubricant properties in an operating all loss lubricating system
    Patent number: 7124728
    Abstract: A marine diesel engine system includes a diesel engine having a plurality of cylinders. The system also includes, proximate the engine, a primary engine lubricant and an additive selected from certain alkylamine-alkylphosphates, 500 TBN calcium sulfonate and mixtures thereof. A means for blending the lubricant and additives into a mixture for introduction into a cylinder is provided. Thus lubricant properties may be modified depending upon engine conditions.

  • Lacquer reducing lubricating oil composition and method of use of same
    Publication number: 20040209783
    Abstract: This invention relates to lubricating oil compositions that have surprisingly been shown to reduce the formation of lacquer deposits in engines. More specifically, this invention relates to a lubricating oil for natural gas engines that reduces siloxane-related cylinder liner lacquer deposits.

  • Method of employing instrumentation to efficiently modify a lubricant's flow rate or properties in an operating all-loss lubricating system
    Patent number: 6779505
    Abstract: A method to employ instrumentation to effectuate variation in lubricant flow rate or properties in response to actual engine conditions. Preferably, the present invention provides a method for the in situ monitoring of the lubricating oil's effectiveness in a two-stroke diesel engine by measuring the used lubricant's Fe content and fuel sulfur content with XRF technology and the used lubricant's BN with an IR measurement device, and for efficiently modifying the lubricant's properties and/or flow rate to the equipment in response to the actual wear or corrosion needs of the machinery or engine.
