The invention addresses a problem of providing a lubricating oil composition for refrigerators excellent in thermal stability for a refrigerant that contains difluoromethane (R32), trifluoroiodomethane (CF.sub.3I) and at least one compound (α) selected from saturated fluorinated hydrocarbon compounds (HFC) except difluoromethane (R32). The lubricating oil composition for refrigerators is used for a refrigerant containing difluoromethane (R32), trifluoroiodomethane (CF.sub.3I) and at least one compound (α) selected from saturated fluorinated hydrocarbon compounds (HFC) except difluoromethane (R32), and contains at least one kind of base oil selected from polyoxyalkylene glycols, polyvinyl ethers, copolymers of a poly(oxy)alkylene glycol or a monoether thereof and a polyvinyl ether and polyol esters, in which the hydroxyl value of the base oil is 15 mgKOH/g or less.

A refrigerating machine oil having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 0.5 mm.sup.2/s or more and 2.5 mm.sup.2/s or less, a distillation end point in gas chromatography distillation of 380° C. or more and 450° C. or less, and a sulfur content of 0.001 mass % or more and 0.2 mass % or less.

Provided are a lubricating oil composition containing (A) a specific amide compound and (B) a metal-based detergent, wherein the content of the metal-based detergent (B) as converted in terms of metal atom is, based on the total amount of the composition, more than 300 ppm by mass and 1,000 ppm by mass or less, and having a high intermetallic friction coefficient and excellent clutch anti-shudder performance; and a lubrication method and a transmission using the composition.

Provided is a lubricating oil composition comprising a base oil (A) containing a polyalkylene glycol (A1) and a polyol ester (A2), a phosphorus-based rust inhibitor (B), and an antioxidant (C) containing an amine-based antioxidant (C1). The lubricating oil composition exhibits a strong effect for suppressing sludge sedimentation even when used for an extended period of time in a high-temperature environment, and has excellent demulsibility and rust preventive properties, and therefore, can be suitably used in turbomachinery, compressors, hydraulic equipment, and machine tools.

The present invention relates to heat transfer compositions comprising refrigerant, lubricant and stabilizer, wherein the refrigerant comprises 39 to 45% by weight difluoromethane (HFC-32), 1 to 4% by weight pentafluoroethane (HFC-125), and 51 to 57% by weight trifluoroiodomethane (CF.sub.3I), and wherein said lubricant comprises polyol ester (POE) lubricant and/or polyvinyl ether (PVE) lubricant, and wherein said stabilizer comprises an alkylated naphthalene and optionally but preferably an acid depleting moiety.

An apparatus and method wherein potential ozone layer-damaging chlorodifluoromethane (Refrigerant R-22) is substituted with a mix of less environmentally damaging refrigerants pentafluoroethane and tetrafluoroethane in chlorodifluoromethane-based air-cooling systems mainly in residential cooling. While less environmentally damaging than chlorodifluoromethane, the substitute refrigerant has a temperature-pressure relationship similar to that of chlorodifluoromethane, making the substitute refrigerant suitable for use with chlorodifluoromethane-based air-cooling systems. In this event, it is mixed with a relatively small percentage of a lubricating oil which is compatible with both the unit refrigerant and typical R-22 system design.

The present invention relates to heat transfer compositions comprising refrigerant, lubricant and stabilizer, wherein the refrigerant comprises 39 to 45% by weight difluoromethane (HFC-32), 1 to 4% by weight pentafluoroethane (HFC-125), and 51 to 57% by weight trifluoroiodomethane (CF.sub.3I), and wherein said lubricant comprises polyol ester (POE) lubricant and/or polyvinyl ether (PVE) lubricant, and wherein said stabilizer comprises an alkylated naphthalene and optionally but preferably an acid depleting moiety.

Lubricating compositions are described, the lubricating compositions comprising a base oil component and an additive component, wherein the additive component comprises a non-silicone anti-foaming agent.

Disclosed is a method using at least one anti-wear additive in an oil, the at least one anti-wear additive including at least one polyphosphorus compound to reduce and/or prevent the neurotoxicity of the oil or for the prophylaxis of aerotoxic syndrome, preferably in case of fume event.

The present invention relates to a refrigerant composition, including difluoromethane (HFC-32), pentafluoroethane (HFC-125), and trifluoroiodomethane (CF.sub.3I) for use in a heat exchange system, including air conditioning and refrigeration applications and in particular aspects to the use of such compositions as a replacement of the refrigerant R-410A for heating and cooling applications and to retrofitting heat exchange systems, including systems designed for use with R-410A.
