Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a system oil composition for crosshead diesel engines, the system oil composition having excellent heat resistance and being effective for improvement of fuel efficiency. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system oil composition for crosshead diesel engines in which the system oil composition includes a mineral oil and/or a synthetic oil as a base oil (A) and has a kinematic viscosity of at least 35 mm 2 /s at 50° C., a high-shear viscosity of at most 45 mPa·s at 50° C., and a high-shear viscosity of at least 15 mPa·s at 70° C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine, comprising a mineral base oil having a total aromatic content of 10% to 40% by mass as a base oil (A) and having a kinematic viscosity as specified by ASTM D-445 of at least 35 mm 2 /s at 50° C., a high-shear viscosity measured at 50° C. in conformity with the measurement method prescribed by ASTM D4683 of at most 45 mPa·s, and a high-shear viscosity measured at 70° C. in conformity with the measurement method prescribed by ASTM D4683 of at least 15 mPa·s. 2. The system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein the base oil (A) is a mixture of a base oil having a kinematic viscosity of greater than 15 mm 2 /s and at most 30 mm 2 /s at 100° C. and a base oil having a kinematic viscosity of greater than 3 mm 2 /s and at most 12 mm 2 /s at 100° C., and a fraction of a total base oil amount occupied by the base oil having the kinematic viscosity of greater than 15 mm 2 /s and at most 30 mm 2 /s at 100° C. is at least 7% by mass, and further comprising a viscosity index improver (B) with a PSSI of at most 30. 3. The system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine according to claim 2 , wherein the viscosity index improver (B) is at least one selected from an olefin polymer, a star polymer having in a molecule thereof a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon structure, and a methyl methacrylate polymer. 4. The system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine according to claim 1 , further comprising a metallic detergent (C) and a phosphorus compound (D). 5. A method for improving efficiency of a crosshead diesel engine using the system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine according to claim 1 . 6. The system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine according to claim 2 , further comprising a metallic detergent (C) and a phosphorus compound (D). 7. The system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine according to claim 3 , further comprising a metallic detergent (C) and a phosphorus compound (D). 8. A method for improving efficiency of a crosshead diesel engine using the system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine according to claim 2 . 9. A method for improving efficiency of a crosshead diesel engine using the system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine according to claim 3 . 10. A method for improving efficiency of a crosshead diesel engine using the system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine according to claim 4 . 11. A method for improving efficiency of a crosshead diesel engine using the system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine according to claim 6 . 12. A method for improving efficiency of a crosshead diesel engine using the system oil composition for a crosshead diesel engine according to claim 7 .
