US Patent:
47817283, Nov 1, 1988
Filed:
Aug 27, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/900726
Inventors:
Peter J. Jessup - Santa Ana CA
Stephen G. Brass - Fullerton CA
Michael C. Croudace - Huntington Beach CA
Assignee:
Union Oil Company of California - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
C10L 102
C10L 118
C10L 122
C10L 124
US Classification:
44 56
Abstract:
The octane value of fuels such as gasoline is increased by adding thereto an organic compound containing a tert-butyl group or a radical containing a trimethyl silyl group bonded to a carbon or nitrogen atom, which, in turn, is bonded to yet another atom by double or triple bonds.

Cetane Number Improvement

US Patent:
47239646, Feb 9, 1988
Filed:
Dec 20, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/811957
Inventors:
Peter J. Jessup - Santa Ana CA
Diane M. Dillon - Fullerton CA
Stephen G. Brass - Fullerton CA
Michael C. Croudace - Huntington Beach CA
Assignee:
Union Oil Company of California - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
C10L 110
US Classification:
44 57
Abstract:
Liquid hydrocarbon fuels having an enhanced cetane number include at least one azo compound having the formula: R. sub. 1 N. dbd. NR. sub. 2 wherein R. sub. 1 and R. sub. 2 are the same or different organo groups, each containing 1 to about 10 carbon atoms.

Fuel Composition And Method For Control Of Octane Requirement Increase

View page
US Patent:
47739169, Sep 27, 1988
Filed:
Mar 11, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/024670
Inventors:
Michael C. Croudace - Huntington Beach CA
Timothy Wusz - Anaheim CA
Stephen G. Brass - Fullerton CA
Assignee:
Union Oil Company of California - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
C10L 116
US Classification:
44 79
Abstract:
The octane requirement increase phenomenon in a spark ignition internal combustion engine is controlled by introducing with the combustion charge a fuel composition containing an octane requirement increase-inhibiting amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of fused aromatics having at least 2, preferably between 3 and 5, aromatic rings with no heteroatoms substituted in the rings. The polynuclear aromatics can be either unsubstituted or substituted with groups other than an alkyl group. Usually the polynuclear aromatic is added to the fuel in an amount between about 0. 1 and 5. 0 weight percent of the fuel. In particular, anthracene and phenanthrene, and their non-alkyl derivatives, provide effective octane requirement increase-inhibiting additives for unleaded gasoline.

Fuel Composition And Method For Control Of Engine Octane Requirements

View page
US Patent:
48447170, Jul 4, 1989
Filed:
Apr 22, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/185148
Inventors:
Michael C. Croudace - Santa Ana CA
Timothy Wusz - Fullerton CA
Stephen Brass - Fullerton CA
Assignee:
Union Oil Company of California - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
C10L 118
C10L 122
US Classification:
44 71
Abstract:
The octane requirement increase phenomenon in a spark ignition internal combustion engine is controlled by introducing with the combustion charge a fuel composition containing an octane requirement increase-inhibiting amount of a combination of compounds, the combination comprising a first compound being (1) a gasoline soluble amide and (2) a second compound being a gasoline soluble ketone. Usually the first and second compounds are each added to the fuel in an amount between about 0. 001 and 3 weight percent of the fuel. In particular, the combination of N,N-dibutyl formamide and either benzophenone or methylcyclohexanone provides an effective octane requirement increase-inhibiting additive for unleaded gasoline.

Method For Control Of Octane Requirement Increase In An Internal Combustion Engine Having Manifold And/Or Combustion Surfaces Which Inhibit The Formation Of Engine Deposits

View page
US Patent:
46128808, Sep 23, 1986
Filed:
Mar 21, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/714963
Inventors:
Stephen Brass - Fullerton CA
Michael C. Croudace - Huntington Beach CA
Timothy Wusz - Anaheim CA
Assignee:
Union Oil Company of California - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
F02B 7512
US Classification:
123 1A
Abstract:
The control of the octane requirement increase phenomenon in an internal combustion engine is achieved by introducing into an internal combustion engine, having manifold and/or combustion surfaces which inhibit the formation of engine deposits, along with the combustion charge, a fuel composition containing an octane requirement increase-inhibiting amount of (a) an oil-soluble iron compound and (b) carboxylic acids and/or ester derivatives thereof. In particular the esters of a tertiary alcohol and an unsubstituted, mono-carboxylic acid having at least two carbon atoms, e. g. , t-butylacetate, in combination with dicyclopentadienyl iron provides an effective octane requirement increase-inhibiting additive for said internal combustion engine. Preferably the manifold and combustion surfaces of said internal combustion engine are coated with a low density alumina or zirconia coating. More preferably said alumina or zirconia coating further comprises a carbon gasification catalyst, e. g.
