Title: ２ストロークエンジンの運転における燃料経済性及び環境への影響を改善する方法及びシステム
IPC: C10L1/24
Filed: 2004-12-30
Abstract: 本発明は、２ストロークエンジンにおける燃料消費及び環境への影響を低減する方法及びこれに対応するシステムに関する。当該方法及びシステムは、少なくとも１つのエンジン（３００）からシステム油／消費性システム油（３０１’）を得る工程と、上記得られたシステム油／消費性システム油（３０１’）の少なくとも一部に少なくとも１つの摩擦調整剤（１０１）を添加し、この少なくとも１つの摩擦調整剤（１０１）の添加により上記得られたシステム油／消費性システム油（３０１’）の摩擦係数が減り、その結果、摩擦の低減したシステム油（３０１’’）が得られる工程（１０２）と、上記摩擦の低減したシステム油／消費性システム油（３０１’’）を上記少なくとも１つのエンジン（３００）に供給する工程とを含む。このようにして、システム油／消費性システム油の汚染によって引き起こされる摩擦損失（通常、システム油を使用する際に生じ、他の場合では効率を大幅に下げ、燃料消費を増大させ、また、排出を増大させる）が回避されるか又は最小限にとどめられる。さらに、本発明は、システム油／消費性システム油をシリンダ油に転換する方法及び対応するシステムに関する。最後に、本発明は、消費性システム油がシリンダ油に転換される際に消費性システム油を用いる方法に関する。これにより、さらに、消費性システム油が、より低性能の添加剤パッケージ及び／又はより低い添加剤処理比を有することが可能となる。したがって、経済的節約及び環境的改善が大幅に達成される。
