A method for transferring heat using a heat transfer facility containing a heat transfer composition, said heat transfer composition including a refrigerant, which includes 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and a lubricant. The lubricant includes a polyol ester, and the solubility of the 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene in the lubricant at 0° C. and at an absolute pressure of 2.2 bar is less than the solubility of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane in the lubricant at 0° C. and at an absolute pressure of 2.0 bar. A method including the successive steps of: evaporating a refrigerant; superheating the refrigerant; and compressing the refrigerant.

The present disclosure relates to a synthetic vegetable oil and an environmental-friendly flame-retardant hydraulic oil composition including the same, and a preparation method thereof, and provides a method of preparing a glycerin-ester-based lubricating base oil through a catalyst-free and rinsing-free process, a glycerin-ester-based lubricating base oil that is a synthetic vegetable oil obtained by the method, and an environmental-friendly flame-retardant hydraulic oil composition that contains the glycerin-ester-based lubricating base oil and that is capable of reducing electricity consumption by 7 to 8% compared to mineral oil-based lubricating oils due to excellent flame retardancy (with self-extinguishing function) and lubricity.

The present invention provides a compressor for refrigeration and air conditioning and a refrigeration and air conditioning device capable of achieving both favorable environmental performance and favorable refrigeration cycle efficiency. In the compressor for refrigeration and air conditioning, a refrigerator oil containing a polyol ester and a refrigerant containing difluoromethane are enclosed. The polyol ester has two or more repetitions of poly[2,2-di(alkanoyloxymethyl)oxytrimethylene] as a structural unit. Further, the polyol ester is composed of only one or both of a cyclic polyol ester, which is obtained by cyclically polymerizing a molecular chain having the structural unit, and a crosslinked polyol ester, which is obtained by crosslinking molecular chains having the structural unit with each other through a crosslinkable structural unit polymerized with the structural unit.
