Aviation fuel cold flow additives and compositions

摘要

Aviation fuel, such as jet fuel, blends and methods for improving cold flow properties of such fuels at extremely low temperatures are disclosed. Cold flow properties of, for example, JP-8 based jet fuels are improved by addition to the fuel of a variety of C₁₀-C₁₆ alkyl poly(meth)acrylate esters and polyvinylesters of C₁₀-C₁₆ alkanoic acids. Demonstratable cold flow improvement of such fuels at temperatures of about -53° C. and below is shown.
