Definitions

  • the invention relates to equipment compositions containing lubricants based on polyalkylene glycols, which are used for the lubrication of refrigeration machines, Heat pumps and related equipment, such as air conditioners, using carbon dioxide are operated as refrigerants.
  • Carbon dioxide has been used as a refrigeration machine resource since the beginning of modern refrigeration technology.
  • the Linde company built the first compression refrigeration machine in 1881 using carbon dioxide as the refrigerant.
  • Glycerin was used as the lubricant.
  • CFC refrigerants carbon dioxide was hardly used anymore.
  • Polypropylene glycols and polyalkylene glycol copolymers containing propylene oxide monomer units have long been known as lubricants.
  • EP 0 421 765-A1 describes their compatibility with R134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) described as refrigeration machine resources. R134a and carbon dioxide are fundamentally different resources. EP 0 421 765-A1 gives no indication of solubility / miscibility, compatibility, thermal and hydrolytic stability of equipment compositions containing polyalkylene glycols and carbon dioxide.
  • EP 0 017 172-A1 describes polyalkylene glycol-neopentyl polyol esters mixtures disclosed as a lubricant for compressors.
  • EP 0 017 172-A1 gives none Reference to refrigeration machines or the use of lubricants in refrigeration machine resources.
  • EP 0 861 883-A2, WO 98/08912, EP 0 908 509-A1, EP 0 844 299-A1 and EP 0 959 121-A1 have an earlier seniority, but are only after the priority date of the present application published and thus as Article 54 (3) documents only to be evaluated in terms of novelty.
  • a refrigerant which is in the consists essentially of carbon dioxide
  • polyalkyl ken glycols which contain at least 40% propylene oxide monomer units.
  • Refrigerants such as fluorine / chlorine or fluorine hydrocarbons have increased operating pressures and operating temperatures (or ⁇ p 's and ⁇ T' s) required high demands on sealing materials, moving parts and lubricants put. This is especially true for refrigeration systems operating in a transcritical Cyclic process operated.
  • Polyalkylene glycols have already been used as lubricants for both processes proposed (see e.g. Lubricants for Carbon Dioxide; U. Hesse, H.O.Spauschus in Refrigeration Science and Technology, Proceedings, Aarhus Denmark 3-6 Sept. 1996, ISSN 0 151 163).
  • the compression cycle takes place Go through states in which the carbon dioxide as a refrigerant both in the subcritical (subcritical) as well as in supercritical (supercritical) Area.
  • CO 2 behaves very differently with regard to the solubility properties.
  • Subcritical CO 2 is polar, while CO 2 is non-polar in the supercritical range.
  • the polyalkylene glycols according to the invention are soluble in CO 2 for higher mass fractions of lubricants over the entire temperature range from the critical temperature T k to below -55 ° C. With smaller proportions of lubricants, the polyalkylene glycols are no longer or only partially soluble in carbon dioxide.
  • the polyalkylene glycols have hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, aryloxy, Alkoxy, alkylaryloxy and / or hydroxy end groups (c).
  • the end groups of the alkyl or aryl type preferably have 1 to 8, particularly preferably 1 to 4, Carbon atoms. In the latter case, these are alkyl and / or alkoxy end groups.
  • the polyalkylene glycols according to the invention are thus either homopolymers, namely polypropylene glycol (or polypropylene oxide), or copolymers, terpolymers etc. further containing monomer units of type (b).
  • the monomer units can have a statistical distribution or a block structure exhibit.
  • the monomer units of type (b) contained at least 5% in the polymer chain.
  • the monomer units of type (b) are preferably ethylene oxide and / or butylene oxide units.
  • the polyalkylene glycols according to the invention can be obtained by reacting alcohols, including the polyalcohols, as starter compounds with alkylene oxides such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and / or butylene oxide. This have only one free hydroxyl group as the end group after the reaction. Polyalkylene glycols with only one hydroxy group are compared to those with two preferred free hydroxyl groups.
  • hygroscopicity and compatibility are polyalkylene glycols, e.g. after a further etherification step none free hydroxyl groups have more.
  • polyalkylene glycols which average molecular weights of 400 to 3000 g / mol, particularly preferably of Have 1000 to 2000 g / mol.
  • the polyalkylene glycols according to the invention are distinguished by densities of more than 940 kg / m 3 , and preferably even more than 1000 kg / m 3 , and moreover surprisingly also have the properties listed above, which are required for use as a refrigerating machine oil in combination with carbon dioxide as a refrigerant are.
  • Polyalkylene glycols with a density of over 940 kg / m 3 are particularly suitable under these conditions. Practical tests have shown, however, that those with higher densities, above about 1000 kg / m 3, worked even better. This can be explained by a faster settling of the polyalkylene glycols according to the invention when complete solubility in the carbon dioxide refrigerant is no longer ensured.
  • additives customary in the equipment compositions such as Wear improvers, anti-foaming agents, antioxidants such as alkylated phenolic Antioxidants such as especially Irganox® L101, viscosity index improver, Corrosion protection agents or high-pressure additives, such as in particular Phosphate esters may be included.
  • esters or ester mixtures are also preferred, independently of one another, whose acid component according to (1) (a), based on the total carboxylic acid group concentration, consists of at least 60 mol% of n-pentanoic acid; whose acid component according to (1) (b) consists predominantly of branched monocarboxylic acids, particularly preferably of 5 to 40 mol% of branched monocarboxylic acids, based on the total carboxylic acid group concentration.
  • the acid components remaining for the complete esterification of all hydroxyl groups consist of linear C5 to C10 monocarboxylic acids.
  • all the hydroxyl groups of the alcohol component are completely esterified in the ester or the ester mixture.
  • the neopentyl glycol esters according to the invention preferably have densities above 940 kg / m 3 , generally even above 1000 kg / m 3 .
