Benefits of technology

[0013]The present invention is directed to a method of reducing friction comprising contacting a metal surface with a functional fluid comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and greater than about 0.05 wt-% glycerol.

Problems solved by technology

However, the friction coefficient of fluids has a tendency to decline due to the temperature effects as the fluid heats up during operation.

Abstract

A functional fluid comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity, and greater than about 0.05 wt-% glycerol. A method of preparing a functional fluid comprising adding glycerol to a functional fluid, wherein the glycerol is not glycerol monooleate. A method of preparing an additive concentrate comprising adding glycerol to a diluent oil wherein the concentrate contains from about 1% to about 99% by weight of said diluent. A method of reducing friction comprising contacting a metal surface with a functional fluid comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and greater than about 0.05 wt-% glycerol.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to functional fluids useful in systems requiring power transmission fluids, hydraulic fluids and / or lubrication of moving parts. In particular, the present invention relates to a functional fluid containing an organic friction modifier for use in tractor hydraulic fluids.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Modern lubricating oil formulations are formulated to exacting specifications often set by original equipment manufacturers. To meet such specifications, various additives are used, together with base oil of lubricating viscosity. Depending on the application, a typical lubricating oil composition may contain dispersants, detergents, anti-oxidants, wear inhibitors, rust inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, foam inhibitors, and friction modifiers just to name a few. Different applications will govern the type of additives that will go into a lubricating oil composition.[0003]A functional fluid is a term which encompasses a variety of ...
