Preliminary evaluation of esters of monocarboxylic fatty acid on the lubrication properties of diesel fuel
This paper assesses the impact of esters of monocarboxylic fatty acids, on the lubrication properties of ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuels. Seven esters were used as lubricating additives on a matrix of eight fuels, at five different concentrations of 50, 100, 500, 750, and 1000 ppm. Tribological experiments carried out on the high-frequency reciprocating test rig (HFRR) showed that the effective concentration of the additives was 500 ppm or higher.
