Definitions

  • This invention relates to refrigerating machine oils, and more particularly to refrigerating machine oils for refrigerating machines using dimethyl ether (DME) as a refrigerant.
  • DME dimethyl ether
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerating machine oil which can be used with a DME refrigerant and has excellent lubricity, miscibility with the refrigerant and safety.
  • a refrigerating machine oil containing a hydrocarbon oil for a refrigerating machine using a DME refrigerant.
  • Eligible hydrocarbon oils for the inventive refrigerating machine oil may be naphthenic- or paraffinic mineral oils, olefin polymers, naphthalene compounds, alkylbenzene oils and mixtures thereof.
  • mineral oils are paraffinic- or naphthenic-mineral oils produced by subjecting the refrigerating machine oil fraction resulting from the atmospheric or vacuum distillation of a paraffinic- or naphthenic- crude oil or an intermediate base crude oil to one or more than two of refining processes such as solvent deasphalting, solvent extraction, hydrocracking, solvent dewaxing, catalytic dewaxing, hydrofinishing, sulfuric acid washing or clay treatment.
  • the highly refined mineral oils used for the present invention preferably contain unsaturates (degree of unsaturation) in non-aromatics of less than 10 percent. Unsaturates greater than 10 percent would cause the formation of sludge and the clogging of capillaries. Therefore, in the present invention, the unsaturation degree should be preferably less than 5 percent, more preferably less than 1 percent and most preferably 0.1 percent.
  • Such highly refined mineral oils are refined oils obtained by refining the distillate resulting from the atmospheric distillation of a paraffinic- or naphthenic- crude oil or an intermediate base crude oil or the distillate resulting from the vacuum distillation of the residue obtained by this atmospheric distillation, in accordance with a conventional manner; deep-dewaxed oils obtained by further deep-dewaxing the refined oils; and hydrogenated oils obtained by further hydrogenating the refined oils. No particular limitation is imposed on the refining process upon the production of these mineral oils.
  • the refining process may be conducted as follows:
  • Preferred highly refined minerals obtained by the above processes are naphthenic mineral oils and mineral oils obtained by the deep-dewaxing process because of fluidity at low temperatures and no wax precipitation at low temperatures.
  • the deep-dewaxing process may be conducted by solvent dewaxing under sever conditions or by catalytic dewaxing using a zeolite catalyst.
  • the olefin polymers may be those obtained by polymerizing an olefin having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, and the products obtained by hydrogenating the polymerized olefin.
  • Specific examples of such olefin polymers are polybutene, polyisobutene, the oligomers of ⁇ -olefin (poly- ⁇ -olefin) having 5 to 12 carbon atoms, ethylene-propylene copolymer, and the hydrogenates thereof.
  • the olefin polymers can be produced by any suitable conventional methods.
  • a poly- ⁇ -olefin may be produced by employing the conventional polymerization processes such as a Ziegler catalysis process, a radical polymerization process, an aluminum chloride process and a boron fluoride process wherein an ⁇ -olefin derived from ethylene is used as a raw material.
  • naphthalene compounds No particular limitation is imposed on the naphthalene compounds as long as they have naphthalene skeleton, but preferred are compounds represented by the following formula because of their excellent miscibility with a DME refrigerant; wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 may be the same or different and are each independently a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, provided that the total number of carbon atoms of R 1 through R 4 is within a range of 1 to 10.
  • R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 may be the same or different and are each independently a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10, preferably 1 to 8 carbon atoms.
  • the hydrocarbon group may be an alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkylaryl or aralkyl group.
  • Preferred hydrocarbon groups for R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 include a C 1 - C 8 alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, straight or branched butyl, straight or branched pentyl, straight or branched hexyl, straight or branched heptyl and straight or branched octyl; a C 2 - C 8 alkenyl group such as ethenyl (vinyl), 1-propenyl, 2-propenyl (allyl), 1-methylethenyl (isopropenyl), straight or branched butenyl, straight or branched pentenyl, straight or branched hexenyl, straight or branched heptenyl and straight or branched octenyl; a C 6 - C 8 aryl or alkylaryl group such as phenyl, tolyl, xylyl
  • a total number of carbon atoms of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 in Formula (1) should be in the range of 1 to 10, preferably 1 to 8. If the total number of carbon atoms is within this range, then R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 may be the same or different. In other words, all of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 may be a hydrocarbon group, or at least one of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 may be a hydrocarbon group while the rest thereof may be a hydrogen atom.
  • R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are a hydrocarbon group while the rest thereof are a hydrogen atom and that the total number of carbon atoms of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 is within the range of 3 to 8.
