The lubricating oil composition for a refrigerator of the present invention is a lubricating oil composition for a refrigerator that is used in combination with a refrigerant containing at least one fluorine-containing organic compound selected from compounds represented by the following molecular formula (A):
C.sub.pF.sub.rR.sub.s(A)
wherein R represents Cl, Br, I, or H; p represents an integer of from 2 to 6; r represents an integer of from 1 to 12; and s represents an integer of from 0 to 11, provided that the molecule contains at least one carbon-carbon unsaturated bond, and the lubricating oil composition for a refrigerator contains a base oil and a cyclic organic compound having a cyclic hydrocarbon structure and having one or more non-conjugated double bond in a cyclic structure or a side chain thereof.

A process for selective partial hydrogenation of conjugated diene compounds includes at least one, preferably terminal, diene function and at least one additional carbon-carbon double bond, the process including reacting the conjugated diene compounds with hydrogen in the presence of an iridium-NHC based catalyst. The disclosure also relates to a reaction mixture that can be obtained at the end of the process. The disclosure also relates to the use of the reaction mixture.

A lubricating oil for press working contains a base oil and a fat or oil-containing additive and a calcium-containing additive added to the base oil. The proportion of the fat or oil-containing additive with respect to the whole volume of the lubricating oil for press working is 10 to 30%. The proportion of the calcium-containing additive with respect to the whole volume of the lubricating oil for press working is 5 to 15%.

A process for making high density fuels having the potential to increase the range and/or loiter time of Navy platforms. Derivation of these fuels from a sustainable source will decrease the carbon footprint of the Department of Defense (DoD) and reduce reliance on nonsustainable petroleum sources. Fuels based on barbatene and thujopsene have volumetric energy densities comparable to JP-10 and can be produced from biomass sugars.

A process for making high density fuels having the potential to increase the range and/or loiter time of Navy platforms. Derivation of these fuels from a sustainable source will decrease the carbon footprint of the Department of Defense (DoD) and reduce reliance on nonsustainable petroleum sources. Fuels based on santalenes have volumetric energy densities greater than JP-5 and F-76 and can be produced from biomass sugars.

A compressor uses a refrigerant containing R1123 (1,1,2-trifluoroethylene) as a working fluid, and uses a polyol ester oil as a compressor lubricating oil. In addition, a fixed scroll and a revolving scroll each having a spiral lap rising from an end plate, and a compression chamber which is formed by meshing the fixed scroll and the revolving scroll, are provided. In addition, a discharge hole which is provided at a center position of the end plate of the fixed scroll, and is open to a discharge chamber, a bypass hole which is provided in the end plate of the fixed scroll, and communicates with the compression chamber and the discharge chamber at a timing different from a timing at which the compression chamber communicates with the discharge hole, and a check valve which is provided in the bypass hole, and allows a flow from the compression chamber side to the discharge chamber side.

Disclosed herein are bio-based compositions comprising branched aromatic compounds and/or branched cycloaliphatic compounds, and methods of their preparation from lignin-derived monomers, and their use as base oils in lubricant compositions, personal care compositions, and pharmaceutical compositions.

The engine lubricating system can become contaminated with carbon deposits and sludge. Sludge is where the combustion by-products that have entered the oil base saturate this oil base, thus forming a thick carbon rich substance. Sludge is not wanted within the engine. Sludge and or carbon deposits in the motor oil cause problems. Such carbon deposits form in the motor oil from heat, pressure, and namely combustion gases that have leaked pasted the piston rings. Turpentine and terpenes, hereafter referred to as terpenes, have shown that these chemicals can breakdown carbon which has been deposited within the engine's oil base.

Methods are provided for reducing noise, sticking, and/or friction using a dry lubricant. The methods provide for application of a friction- and/or noise-reducing composition. The methods reduce friction, and/or noise for multiple applications. The methods also provide for reducing adherence of undesirable materials to articles.

The present invention relates to refrigerant compositions comprising at least one fluoroolefin, at least one lubricant and an effective amount of at least one inhibitor wherein the inhibitor is present in the fluoroolefin and the lubricant.
