Definitions
- This invention relates to a lubricant composition and its use in refrigeration systems.
- the foaming agent assists in generating and sustaining a froth or foam of fine bubbles which acts to absorb and thus attenuate the noise produced by the compressor unit during operation
- CFCs disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,792,755 include trichloroethylene, dichlorodifluoromethane (R-12) and monochlorodifluoromethane (R-22).
- HFC hydrofluorocarbon gases
- suitable base fluids for such synthetic lubricant compositions are polyalkylene glycols, polyol esters, polyvinyl ethers and alkylbenzenes.
- Known foaming additives are silicon based, for example organosiloxanes or silicones.
- WO95/12649 discloses a lubricant composition comprising a synthetic polyol ester lubricant and a foam density-increasing additive for use in a refrigerator system with at least one compressor and a halocarbon refrigerant gas, preferably an HFC.
- the foam density-increasing additive is preferably a siloxane but may also be a halogenated aliphatic polymeric ester (for example Fluorad FC430 available from 3M) and is found to both increase the foam density and control vapour evolution from the compressor.
- EP 0590238 A1 discloses a compressor for compressing an HFC refrigerant which is characterised by the presence of a lubricant composition consisting of a pentaerythritol ester and a siloxane foaming additive wherein an oil foam layer is created during compressor operation to reduce compressor noise.
- JP10088173 A2 discloses lubricant compositions for refrigeration compressors for noise reduction comprising HFC refrigerants, ester oil lubricants with at least 2 ester bonds, a hydrolytic stabiliser, an antioxidant and 0.001-0.01 wt. % of silicone oils.
- silicon-containing foaming additives may not be suitable for all refrigerant systems as they are only partially miscible with the base oil of the lubricant composition. This may lead to separation of the silicon-containing additives in cold parts of the refrigeration system. The loss of the silicone-containing additives may also cause loss of foaming due to additive depletion, fouling of heat exchange surfaces and valve blockage. Furthermore silicones present on metal surfaces prevent painting of such surfaces.
