The present invention relates to a lubricating composition, intended for a refrigerant system comprising a gas compression circuit, comprising: at least one first polyalkylene glycol exhibiting a hydroxyl number strictly of greater than 50 mg KOH/g and a kinematic viscosity, measured at 100° C. according to the standard ASTM D445, ranging from 5 to 10 mm.sup.2/s, and at least one second polyalkylene glycol with a kinematic viscosity, measured at 100° C., ranging from 100 to 500 mm.sup.2/s, said polyalkylene glycols A and B being present in a PAG(s) A/PAG(s) B ratio by weight of between 60/40 and 99/1. It also relates to the employment of such a lubricating composition in a refrigerant system comprising a gas compression circuit, in particular for an automobile air conditioning system, in combination with a coolant based on hydrocarbon compounds, such as R134a and/or HFO-1234yf.

A refrigerating machine oil having a flash point of 130° C. or lower and a carbon residue of 10% residual oil of 0.02% by mass or more.

Environmentally friendly refrigerant blends utilizing blends including 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf) and fluoroethane (HFC-161). The blends have ultra-low GWP, low toxicity, and low flammability with low temperature glide or nearly negligible glide for use in a hybrid, mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or full electric vehicles for thermal management (transferring heat from one part of the vehicle to the other) of the passenger compartment providing air conditioning (A/C) or heating to the passenger cabin.

An extremely rheopectic sulfonate-based grease composition and method comprising adding overbased calcium sulfonate, overbased magnesium sulfonate, and a facilitating acid, using a particular type of overbased calcium sulfonate and/or methods for adding overbased calcium sulfonate relative to the magnesium sulfonate and facilitating acid to favor the reaction between the magnesium sulfonate and facilitating acid. A preferred overbased calcium sulfonate comprises benzene rings having multiple alkyl groups. Preferred methods comprise (1) adding all calcium sulfonate after adding the magnesium sulfonate and facilitating acid, (2) adding a first portion of calcium sulfonate with the magnesium sulfonate before adding the facilitating acid and a second portion of calcium sulfonate after the facilitating acid, and/or (3) one or more calcium sulfonate delay periods relative to adding the facilitating acid. The extremely rheopectic grease is fluid and pourable and only takes on a grease structure after milling or shearing.

The present disclosure relates to an automotive slide member including a first slide portion having a first lubricant applied between first portions of a first friction slide mechanism, and a second slide portion having a second lubricant applied between second portions of a second friction slide mechanism. The first slide portion is arranged at a part to be touched by an operator who attaches the automotive slide member to an automobile or a user of the automobile. The second slide portion is arranged at a part that is not touched by the operator who attaches the automotive slide member to the automobile or the user of the automobile. The second lubricant contains a relatively larger amount of conductive carbon than that of the first lubricant.

The present disclosure provides a composition comprising a refrigerant characterized by having a coefficient of performance (COP) and a refrigerating capacity (Capacity) equivalent to or higher than those of R134a, and having a sufficiently low GWP. The present disclosure is, specifically, a composition comprising a refrigerant, the refrigerant comprising cis-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132(Z)) and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf), wherein HFO-1132(Z) is present in an amount of 53.0 to 59.5 mass %, and HFO-1234yf is present in an amount of 47.0 to 40.5 mass %, based on the total mass of IFO-1132(Z) and HFO-1234yf.

Provided is grease capable of suppressing a decrease in a function as a lubricant even when used in a device installed in a refrigerant circuit in which a refrigerant containing a chlorine atom and an olefin bond in a molecule flows, and a refrigeration cycle apparatus using the grease as a lubricant. Grease that is used in a device installed in a refrigerant circuit in which a refrigerant containing a chlorine atom and an olefin bond in a molecule flows contains fluorine as a component. In a chiller apparatus, the grease is used as a lubricant for at least one of a first radial touchdown bearing and a second radial touchdown bearing of a compressor, a drive portion of an inlet guide vane of the compressor, and a drive portion of an expansion valve.
