Description

冷媒２,３,３,３‐テトラフルオロ‐１‐プロペン用冷凍機油Refrigerating machine oil for refrigerant 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene
　本発明は、地球温暖化係数の低い２,３,３,３‐テトラフルオロ‐１‐プロペン（ＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆ、ＣＨ２＝ＣＦ-ＣＦ３）を冷媒として使用する冷凍機油に関する。 The present invention relates to a refrigerating machine oil using 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene (HFO-1234yf, CH 2 ═CF—CF 3 ) having a low global warming potential as a refrigerant.
　従来、冷凍機、空調機、冷蔵庫等には、フッ素と塩素を構成元素とするクロロフルオロカーボン（ＣＦＣ）、例えばＲ‐１１（トリクロロモノフルオロメタン）、Ｒ‐１２（ジクロロジフルオロメタン）、ハイドロクロロフルオロカーボン（ＨＣＦＣ）であるＲ‐２２（モノクロロジフルオロメタン）等が、冷媒として使用されてきたが、最近のオゾン層破壊問題に関連し、国際的にその生産及び使用が規制され、現在では、塩素を含有しない、例えば、ジフルオロメタン（Ｒ‐３２）、テトラフルオロエタン（Ｒ‐１３４またはＲ‐１３４ａ）などの新しいハイドロフルオロカーボン（ＨＦＣ）冷媒に転換されてきている。しかし、これらのＨＦＣは、オゾン層を破壊しないものの温室効果が大きく、近年問題となっている地球温暖化の観点からは必ずしも優れた冷媒ではない。 Conventionally, in refrigeration machines, air conditioners, refrigerators, etc., chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) containing fluorine and chlorine as constituent elements, such as R-11 (trichloromonofluoromethane), R-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane), hydrochlorofluorocarbon R-22 (monochlorodifluoromethane), which is (HCFC), has been used as a refrigerant, but its production and use have been regulated internationally in connection with the recent ozone layer destruction problem. It has been converted to new hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants that do not contain, for example, difluoromethane (R-32), tetrafluoroethane (R-134 or R-134a). However, although these HFCs do not destroy the ozone layer, they have a large greenhouse effect and are not necessarily excellent refrigerants from the viewpoint of global warming, which has become a problem in recent years.
　そこで、最近、２,３,３,３‐テトラフルオロ‐１‐プロペン（以下、「ＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆ」という）が、オゾン層を破壊することなく、地球温暖化への影響も前記の塩素系あるいは非塩素系フッ化炭化水素に比べて非常に低いことから、注目されている。上記フロン系冷媒で培われた圧縮機、凝縮器、絞り装置、蒸発器等からなるカーエアコン、ルームエアコン、産業用冷凍機等の冷却効率の高い冷凍システムに、このＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆを冷媒として採用することが検討されており、この冷媒と相溶性のある冷凍機油の選定が課題となっている。
　特許文献１および２には、フッ素化アルケン（フッ素置換オレフィン）を冷媒として用いる場合においても、ハイドロフルオロカーボン（ＨＦＣ）冷媒用に通常用いられてるポリオールエステル類、ポリアルキレングリコール類およびエステル化ポリアルキレングリコール類等の潤滑剤を使用できることが開示されている。しかしながら、冷凍機油に必須の性能である相溶性、溶解性、冷媒混合状態での潤滑性等は、冷媒の種類により異なるので、フッ素化アルカンであるＨＦＣ冷媒で良好であったからといって、そのままフッ素化アルケンのＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆ冷媒に良好に用いることができるとは一概にはいえない。特に、冷媒が二重結合を有するオレフィンであるために、冷媒と潤滑剤との混合流体の安定性が問題となる。すなわち、冷媒ＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆに好適な潤滑剤は、上述したような性能を評価することにより分かるものであり、未だそれはなされておらず、適切な冷凍機油は未だ提案されていない。 Therefore, recently, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene (hereinafter referred to as “HFO-1234yf”) does not destroy the ozone layer, and the impact on global warming is It is attracting attention because it is very low compared to non-chlorinated fluorohydrocarbons. This HFO-1234yf is used as a refrigerant in refrigeration systems with high cooling efficiency, such as car air conditioners, room air conditioners, industrial refrigerators, etc., cultivated with the above-mentioned CFC refrigerants. Therefore, the selection of refrigerating machine oil compatible with this refrigerant has been an issue.
Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose polyol esters, polyalkylene glycols, and esterified polyalkylene glycols that are usually used for hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants even when fluorinated alkenes (fluorinated olefins) are used as refrigerants. It is disclosed that lubricants such as the like can be used. However, compatibility, solubility, lubricity in the mixed refrigerant state, etc., which are essential performances for refrigerating machine oil, vary depending on the type of refrigerant, so just because it was good with an HFC refrigerant that is a fluorinated alkane, as it is. It cannot be generally said that the fluorinated alkene HFO-1234yf can be used favorably. In particular, since the refrigerant is an olefin having a double bond, the stability of the mixed fluid of the refrigerant and the lubricant becomes a problem. That is, the lubricant suitable for the refrigerant HFO-1234yf can be understood by evaluating the performance as described above, and it has not been done yet, and an appropriate refrigerating machine oil has not been proposed yet.

　本発明においては、ネオペンチルグリコール、トリメチロ－ルプロパン、ペンタエリスリトール、またはジペンタエリスリトールから選択される１種以上のネオペンチルポリオールを用いる。炭素数が１０を超えるネオペンチルポリオールは、炭化水素部分が大きくなりすぎて、これから合成されたエステルは冷媒ＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆとの相溶性、溶解性が低く、本発明の目的を達成することができない。冷媒ＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆとの相溶性を有し、かつ高粘度のエステルを合成できるネオペンチルポリオールとしては、ペンタエリスリトールやジペンタエリスリトールが特に好ましい。 In the present invention, at least one neopentyl polyol selected from neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, or dipentaerythritol is used. Neopentyl polyol having more than 10 carbon atoms has an excessively large hydrocarbon portion, and the ester synthesized therefrom has low compatibility and solubility with the refrigerant HFO-1234yf and cannot achieve the object of the present invention. .

　本発明においては、上記ネオペンチルポリオールの１種と直鎖または分枝の１価脂肪酸の１種とをエステル化したもの（エステル化合物）を、そのまま、あるいは異なる種類のエステルを複数混合（エステル混合物）して、または、ネオペンチルポリオールの１種と直鎖または分枝の１価脂肪酸の２種以上の混合物（酸混合物）とのエステル、あるいはネオペンチルポリオールの２種以上の混合物（アルコール混合物）と直鎖または分枝の１価脂肪酸の１種とのエステル、もしくはネオペンチルポリオールの２種以上の混合物（アルコール混合物）と直鎖または分枝の１価脂肪酸の２種以上の混合物（酸混合物）とのエステル等から１種または２種以上のエステルを適宜選定して用いることにより、各種冷凍機の要求する望ましい特性を満足するように調製するとよい。 In the present invention, one obtained by esterifying one kind of the above neopentyl polyol and one kind of linear or branched monovalent fatty acid (ester compound) is used as it is or by mixing a plurality of different kinds of esters (ester mixture). ) Or an ester of one kind of neopentyl polyol and a mixture of two or more kinds of linear or branched monovalent fatty acid (acid mixture), or a mixture of two or more kinds of neopentyl polyol (alcohol mixture) And a mixture of two or more esters (alcohol mixtures) of a linear or branched monovalent fatty acid or a neopentyl polyol and a mixture of two or more linear or branched monovalent fatty acids (acid mixture) 1) or two or more esters selected from the esters and the like to satisfy the desired characteristics required for various refrigerators. It may be prepared to.
  例えば、（１）ペンタエリスリトールと２‐エチルヘキサン酸１０～９０重量部及び３,５,５‐トリメチルヘキサン酸９０～１０重量部の酸混合物とをエステル化して得られた混合エステル（２）ペンタエリスリトール１０～９０重量部及びジペンタエリスリトール９０～１０重量部のネオペンチルグリコール混合物と２‐エチルヘキサン酸１０～９０重量部及び３,５,５‐トリメチルヘキサン酸９０～１０重量部の酸混合物との混合エステル、（３）ジペンタエリスリトールと２‐エチルヘキサン酸１０～９０重量部及び３,５,５‐トリメチルヘキサン酸９０～１０重量部とのエステル混合物等が、冷媒ＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆに対して適度の相溶性、溶解性を有し、潤滑性、電気絶縁性や安定性等に、特に優れた冷凍機油として用いることができる。 For example, (1) a mixed ester obtained by esterification of pentaerythritol with an acid mixture of 10 to 90 parts by weight of 2-ethylhexanoic acid and 90 to 10 parts by weight of 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid (2) penta 10-90 parts by weight of erythritol and 90-10 parts by weight of dipentaerythritol, 10-90 parts by weight of 2-ethylhexanoic acid and 90-10 parts by weight of an acid mixture of 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid, (3) an ester mixture of dipentaerythritol and 2-ethylhexanoic acid 10 to 90 parts by weight and 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid 90 to 10 parts by weight with respect to the refrigerant HFO-1234yf Use as a refrigerating machine oil that has moderate compatibility, solubility, lubricity, electrical insulation, stability, etc. Can do.
　本発明に用いるエステルは、上記特定のネオペンチルポリオールと特定の脂肪酸との脱水反応によるエステル化反応、あるいは脂肪酸の誘導体である酸無水物、酸クロライド等を経由しての一般的なエステル化反応や各誘導体のエステル交換反応によって得ることができる。また、本発明の冷媒ＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆは、地球温暖化係数は低いものの、分子内に二重結合があるため分解しやすく、安定性は高くない。一方、使用される冷凍機油にはより高い安定性が求められるので、エステルの不飽和度は低いほどよく、その指標となる冷凍機油のヨウ素価は、１０gI2/100g以下である。 The ester used in the present invention is an esterification reaction by dehydration reaction between the specific neopentyl polyol and the specific fatty acid, or a general esterification reaction via an acid anhydride, acid chloride or the like which is a derivative of a fatty acid. Or by transesterification of each derivative. Moreover, although the refrigerant | coolant HFO-1234yf of this invention has a low global warming potential, since there exists a double bond in a molecule | numerator, it is easy to decompose | disassemble and stability is not high. On the other hand, since a higher stability is required for a refrigerating machine oil used, degree of unsaturation of the ester may as low iodine value of the refrigerating machine oil to be the index is less 10gI 2 / 100g.
　また、上記方法で得られるエステルは、未反応で残存する酸および水酸基を特に制限するものではないが、カルボキシル基や水酸基は残存しないことが好ましい。カルボキシル基の残存量が多いと、冷凍機内部に使用されている金属との反応により金属石けんなどを生成し、沈殿するなどの好ましくない現象も起こるため、冷凍機油の酸価は０.１mgKOH/g以下である。また、水酸基の残存量が多いと、エステルが低温において白濁し、冷凍サイクルのキャピラリー装置を閉塞させる等、好ましくない現象が起こるため、水酸基価は５０mgKOH/g以下とすることが好ましく、１０mgKOH/g以下のものがより好ましい。 Further, the ester obtained by the above method does not particularly limit the unreacted remaining acid and hydroxyl group, but preferably no carboxyl group or hydroxyl group remains. If the residual amount of carboxyl groups is large, undesired phenomena such as the formation of metal soap and precipitation due to the reaction with the metal used in the refrigerator occur, so the acid value of the refrigerator oil is 0.1 mgKOH / g or less. Further, if the residual amount of hydroxyl group is large, the ester becomes cloudy at a low temperature and undesired phenomena such as blocking of the capillary device of the refrigeration cycle occur. The following are more preferable.
　さらに、本発明の冷凍機油は、冷凍機を適正に作動させ、かつ高い効率を確保するため、４０℃における動粘度が５～３００mm２/sになるようする。この動粘度は、好ましくは、７～２５０mm２/s、より好ましくは、３２～２００mm２/sになるようにするとよい。 Furthermore, the refrigerating machine oil of the present invention has a kinematic viscosity at 40 ° C. of 5 to 300 mm 2 / s in order to properly operate the refrigerating machine and ensure high efficiency. This kinematic viscosity is preferably 7 to 250 mm 2 / s, more preferably 32 to 200 mm 2 / s.
　上記エステルを主成分とする本発明の冷凍機油は、冷媒ＨＦＯ－１２３４ｙｆ用の冷凍機油として、低温から高温までの広い領域で、相互に適切な相溶性、溶解性を示してその潤滑性及び熱安定性を大幅に向上させることができる。さらに、代替フロン用冷凍機油として用いられているポリアルキレングリコール（ＰＡＧ）等に較べると、はるかにＨＦＯ－１２３４ｙｆとの相溶範囲が広く、電気絶縁性が高く、かつ吸湿性も小さい。 The refrigerating machine oil of the present invention containing the above ester as a main component is a refrigerating machine oil for refrigerant HFO-1234yf, and exhibits appropriate compatibility and solubility in a wide range from low temperature to high temperature. Stability can be greatly improved. Furthermore, compared with polyalkylene glycol (PAG) and the like used as a substitute refrigeration oil for CFCs, the compatibility range with HFO-1234yf is much wider, the electrical insulation is high, and the hygroscopicity is low.
　なお、上記主成分となるエステルが冷凍機油中に占める割合は、５０重量％以上、特には８０重量％以上、さらには９０重量％以上が好ましく、本発明に係る冷凍機油には、冷凍機油としての機能を満足する範囲において、他のタイプのエステル、ＰＡＧやＰＶＥなどのエーテルあるいは炭化水素系であるアルキルベンゼンや鉱油等の潤滑油を適宜混合できる。 The proportion of the ester as the main component in the refrigerating machine oil is preferably 50% by weight or more, particularly preferably 80% by weight or more, and more preferably 90% by weight or more. The refrigerating machine oil according to the present invention includes a refrigerating machine oil. As long as the above function is satisfied, other types of esters, ethers such as PAG and PVE, or hydrocarbons such as alkylbenzene and mineral oil can be mixed as appropriate.
　地球温暖化係数の低い冷媒であるＨＦＯ－１２３４ｙｆは、一方では、二重結合を有するため分解しやすく、安定性はあまり高くない。そこで、冷媒と冷凍機油の混合物流体の安定性を高めるため、安定性向上添加剤を添加するとよい。この安定性向上添加剤として、ヒンダードフェノール化合物、芳香族アミン化合物、エポキシ化合物、またはカルボジイミドのうち１種以上を添加するとよく、さらにはエポキシ化合物とカルボジイミドを合わせて添加することがより好ましい。これらの安定性向上剤は、冷凍機油に対して、合計で０.０５～３重量％添加すれば十分である。特に、エポキシ化合物とカルボジイミドの両者を配合することが好ましい。 On the other hand, HFO-1234yf, which is a refrigerant with a low global warming potential, has a double bond, so it is easily decomposed and its stability is not so high. Therefore, in order to increase the stability of the fluid mixture of the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil, a stability improving additive may be added. As the stability improving additive, one or more of hindered phenol compounds, aromatic amine compounds, epoxy compounds, or carbodiimides may be added, and more preferably, the epoxy compound and carbodiimide are added together. It is sufficient to add a total of 0.05 to 3% by weight of these stability improvers to the refrigerating machine oil. In particular, it is preferable to blend both an epoxy compound and a carbodiimide.
　ヒンダードフェノール化合物としては、２,６‐ジ‐ターシャリーブチルフェノール、２,６‐ジ‐ターシャリ‐ブチル‐Ｐ‐クレゾール、４,４‐メチレン‐ビス‐（２,６‐ジ‐ターシャリ‐ブチル‐Ｐ‐クレゾール）など三級アルキル置換のフェノール化合物が代表的に用いられる。芳香族アミン化合物としてはα‐ナフチルアミン、ｐ,ｐ’‐ジ‐オクチル‐ジフェニルアミンなどがあげられる。これら化合物は、化合物の単独又は２種以上を併用してもよく、０.０５～２重量％、特には０.１～１重量％含有することが好ましい。 Examples of hindered phenol compounds include 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-P-cresol, 4,4-methylene-bis- (2,6-di-tert-butyl- A tertiary alkyl-substituted phenolic compound such as P-cresol) is typically used. Examples of the aromatic amine compound include α-naphthylamine, p, p′-di-octyl-diphenylamine, and the like. These compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more, and are preferably contained in an amount of 0.05 to 2% by weight, particularly 0.1 to 1% by weight.

　表１および表２から分かるように、本発明に係るエステルは冷媒ＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆと広い温度範囲で相溶し、熱安定性を含めた冷凍機油としての特性が良好である。なかでも添加剤を配合した実施例４～８は熱安定性試験後の全酸価の上昇が少なく、特にエポキシ化合物とカルボジイミドの両者を添加した実施例７，８では全酸価の上昇がなかった。
比較例１、２のエステルの場合、酸のカ－ボン数が大きすぎるとＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆと相溶せず、またヨウ素価が高いと熱安定性が極めて悪く、添加剤による大幅な改善も見られない。比較例３のエステルは炭素数５の酸（ペンタン酸）が使われているため、冷媒ＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆとは相溶するものの、加水分解されやすい短鎖の酸のため熱安定性が悪くなっている。また電気絶縁性も低く、吸湿性が高い。比較例４、５のエーテルは冷媒と相溶するものもあるが（比較例５）、その相溶範囲は狭く、体積抵抗率で示される電気特性が本発明のエステルより約１０００倍悪く、かつ熱安定性も悪く、さらには、吸湿性も高く、冷凍機油として適さないことが分かる。比較例６の合成炭化水素油であるＰＡＯは極性が無いためＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆとは全く相溶せず、使えない。 As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, the ester according to the present invention is compatible with the refrigerant HFO-1234yf in a wide temperature range, and has good characteristics as a refrigerating machine oil including thermal stability. In particular, Examples 4 to 8 in which additives were added had little increase in the total acid value after the thermal stability test, and in Examples 7 and 8 in which both the epoxy compound and carbodiimide were added, there was no increase in the total acid value. It was.
In the case of the esters of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, if the carbon number of the acid is too large, it will not be compatible with HFO-1234yf, and if the iodine value is high, the thermal stability will be extremely poor, and there will be a significant improvement due to the additive. I can't. Since the ester of Comparative Example 3 uses an acid having 5 carbon atoms (pentanoic acid), it is compatible with the refrigerant HFO-1234yf, but its thermal stability is deteriorated due to a short-chain acid that is easily hydrolyzed. Yes. It also has low electrical insulation and high hygroscopicity. Although some of the ethers of Comparative Examples 4 and 5 are compatible with the refrigerant (Comparative Example 5), the compatibility range is narrow, and the electrical properties indicated by the volume resistivity are about 1000 times worse than the ester of the present invention, and It can be seen that the thermal stability is poor and the hygroscopic property is also high, which makes it unsuitable as a refrigeration oil. Since PAO which is the synthetic hydrocarbon oil of Comparative Example 6 has no polarity, it is completely incompatible with HFO-1234yf and cannot be used.
　本発明の冷凍機油は、ＨＦＯ‐１２３４ｙｆを冷媒として用いる冷凍機の潤滑油として用いられ、特には、圧縮機、凝縮器、絞り装置（膨張弁またはキャピラリーチューブ等の冷媒流量制御部）、蒸発器等を有し、これらの間で冷媒を循環させる冷却効率の高い冷凍システムで、特には、スワシュプレ－トタイプ、レシプロタイプ、ロ－タリ－タイプ、スクロ－ルタイプコンプレッサ等のコンプレッサを有する冷凍機における潤滑油として用いることができ、カ－エアコン、ル－ムエアコン、産業用冷凍機等に好適に使用できる。 The refrigerating machine oil of the present invention is used as a lubricating oil for a refrigerating machine that uses HFO-1234yf as a refrigerant, and in particular, a compressor, a condenser, a throttle device (a refrigerant flow control unit such as an expansion valve or a capillary tube), an evaporator. Etc., and refrigeration systems with high cooling efficiency that circulate refrigerant between them, especially in refrigerators having compressors such as swash plate type, reciprocating type, rotary type, scroll type compressor, etc. It can be used as oil and can be suitably used for car air conditioners, room air conditioners, industrial refrigerators and the like.
