Oil properties, diesel pour point
Thread Content
The hydrocarbon components in oil are mainly divided into alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Based on their hydrocarbon composition, they can be divided into three categories: paraffinic oil, naphthenic oil, and intermediate-base oil. What is the impact on diesel pour point?
Diesel that typically contains paraffin sees its freezing point rise by about 10 degrees for every 0.1% increase in the wax content
Paraffin-based diesel has a high freezing point, naphthenic diesel also has a high freezing point, while intermediate-type diesel falls between the two
Paraffin-based diesel has a high freezing point, while naphthenic-based diesel has a low freezing point; the intermediate types fall somewhere in between. The guy above made a typo in one word; everything else is correct
