Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a lubricant for refrigerating machines employing a refrigerant comprising tetrafluoroethane. More particularly, it relates to a lubricant for refrigerating machines which is used along with substitute fluorohydrocarbon (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "flon compound") such as 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a). As such, the lubricant is excellent in the performance such as wear resistance, electrical insulating properties, hydrolytic stability, nonhygroscopicity and the like and further has excellent returnability of the lubricant in a refrigerating cycle (characteristics that the lubricant is inclined to return to a compressor after it is circulated in the refrigerating cycle).
- Conventionally, in a compression-type refrigerating cycle comprising a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator, a flon compound including a fluorinated hydrocarbon such as dichlorodifluoromethane (R-12) and chlorodifluoromethane (R-22) has been used as the refrigerant. Many kinds of lubricants compatible with them have been produced industrially available for use.
- However, there have been misgivings that these flon compounds widely used as the refrigerant are liable to cause depletion of the ozone layer and environmental pollution after they are released into the open air. In an effort to prevent environmental pollution, fluorohydrocarbons (or chlorofluorohydrocarbons), for example 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) and the like have been developed as a possible replacement in recent years. Until now there have been introduced into market many so-called substitute flon compounds with minimized danger of environmental pollution and capable of satisfying said required properties, for example 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134) and the like, as well as R-134a.
- These new substitute flon refrigerants are different from conventional flon refrigerants in characteristics. Thus, glycol compounds, ester compounds and the like have been proposed as the lubricant for use in combination with them (U.S. Patent No. 4,755,316, Japanese Patent Applications Laid Open No. 33193/1991, No. 200895/1991, No. 200896/1991, No. 20975/1992 and No. 4294/1992), and these patents are intended to dissolve substitute flon refrigerants and lubricants completely so as to provide good returnability of the lubricants.
- In an attempt to circulate all over a refrigerating cycle a refrigerant and a lubricant in their completely dissolved state as envisaged by these patents, however, said lubricant must be selected from only a very limited number of compounds acceptable to the chemical properties of substitute flon refrigerants such as R-134a. Accordingly, the selected lubricant is forced to sacrifice certain aspects of the important performance required as the lubricant.
- In fact, polyalkylene glycol compounds and ester compounds thereof, both known as compatible with R-134a, have been found to have insufficient wear resistance, along with faulty electrical insulating properties. It has also been found that the polyalkylene glycol compounds are highly hygroscopic while the ester compounds thereof are unstable hydrolytically. Thus the demand for a solution in these problems has been raised in relevant industrial segments.
- The present invention has been completed on the basis of a concept quite contrary to ordinary common knowledge as set forth above, in an effort to find the solution in the problems. As the result, it has been found that all these aspects of the performance can be unified by using a substance excellent in wear resistance, insulation resistance and the like as the lubricant, compounding therewith a fluidity improver to improve the fluidity of the lubricant in the presence of a refrigerant (R134a and the like) and thus providing excellent returnability of the lubricant in a compression-type refrigerating cycle. It has thus been made possible that a lubricant combined even with a new refrigerant has all the required performance including excellent wear resistance, electrical insulating properties, hydrolytic stability and the like and further ensuring excellent returnability of the lubricant. The present invention has been accomplished based on this finding.
- Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a lubricant for refrigerating machines employing a refrigerant comprising tetrafluoroethane, which is excellent in the performance such as wear resistance, electrical insulating properties, hydrolytic stability, nonhygroscopicity and especially has excellent returnability of the lubricant. The lubricant can be used in combination with a substitute flon refrigerant in a compression-type refrigerating cycle without a hitch.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a lubricant for refrigerating machines employing a refrigerant comprising tetrafluoroethane, which is especially effective when used in automobile or household air conditioners, refrigerators and the like, having high industrial usefulness.
- The present invention provides a lubricant for refrigerating machines employing a refrigerant comprising 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane or 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane which comprises as an essential component a base oil comprising (A) 40 to 95% by weight of a synthetic oil formed of a poly-α-olefin or a mixture of a poly-α-olefin and an alkylbenzene and (B) 5 to 60% by weight of a fluidity improver comprising both or either of an ester compound and a triglyceride.
- The lubricant of the present invention can be suitably used in various refrigerating machines and ordinarily in a compression-type refrigerating cycle comprising a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator.
- As set forth above, the lubricant of the present invention comprises the components (A) and (B) as the essential components, and the synthetic oil constituting the component (A) is a poly-α-olefin or a mixture of a poly-α-olefin and an alkylbenzene.
- Various poly-α-olefins can be used and ordinarily are each a polymer of α-olefin having 8 to 14 carbon atoms and a kinematic viscosity of 10 to 350cSt at 40°C. Preferred among them is a polymer of 1-dodecene, a polymer of 1-decene or a polymer of 1-octene, each having a kinematic viscosity of 10 to 350cSt at 40°C. A lubricant containing a synthetic oil comprising such a poly-α-olefin has a lower viscosity at low temperatures to provide better returnability of the lubricant.
- Various alkylbenzenes can be used as well and ordinarily are each an alkylbenzene having a kinematic viscosity of 5 to 500cSt, preferably 10 to 350cSt at 40°C. Either soft or hard alkylbenzene can be used provided that it meets the above-mentioned condition.
- The alkylbenzene is not used singly but in the form of its mixture with said poly-α-olefin as the synthetic oil as the component (A) of the present invention. The mixing ratio of the poly-α-olefin and the alkylbenzene is appropriately selected according to circumstances and is not particularly limited. Preferably the mixture has a poly-α-olefin content of 5% or more by weight, more preferably 50% or more by weight of the mixture. When the mixture of the poly-α-olefin and the alkylbenzene is used as the synthetic oil as the component (A), the mixing stability between the poly-α-olefin and the fluidity improver as the component (B) is improved.
- On the other hand, the fluidity improver acts to improve the fluidity of a hydrocarbonic compound at low temperatures (those of evaporator) in the presence of a small amount of a substitute flon refrigerant such as R-134a, so as to provide better returnability of the lubricant in a refrigerating cycle. The kinematic viscosity of the fluidity improver is not particularly limited but ordinarily is 2 to 100cSt, preferably 3 to 50cSt at 40°C.
- Typical examples of the fluidity improver include an ester compound, particularly an ester compound having at least 2 ester bonds.

The reaction product (I) can be obtained by reacting the compounds as enumerated in ①, ② and ③ above. For the reaction product (I) every detail of its structure has not necessarily been brought to light. Ordinarily, however, the the reaction product (I) has a structure wherein 2 carboxyl groups of the polybasic carboxylic acid ① (in the case with a derivative thereof, groups derived from the carboxyl groups; the same shall apply hereunder) each react to be bonded with a hydroxyl group of the polyhydric alcohol ② (in the case with a derivative thereof, groups derived from the hydroxyl groups; the same shall apply hereunder) and further another hydroxyl group of this polyhydric alcohol ② reacts to be bonded with a carboxyl group of the monobasic fatty acid ③.
