The invention relates to industrial gear oil compositions that have been specially designed to have improved storage stability and/or paint compatibility and/or seal compatibility. This improvement is achieved while maintaining good performance in other areas. These improvements are particularly relevant to synthetic lubricants, such as those made with polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oils. This balance of properties has been difficult to achieve in synthetic compositions where problems in the areas of storage stability, paint compatibility and/or seal compatibility of become more pronounced. The invention also relates to processes of making such compositions and methods of using the same.

The present invention relates to heat transfer compositions comprising refrigerant, lubricant and stabilizer, wherein the refrigerant comprises from about 10% by weight to 100% by weight of 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.

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.

The present invention relates to heat transfer compositions comprising refrigerant, lubricant and stabilizer, wherein the refrigerant comprises about 49% by weight difluoromethane (HFC-32), about 11.5% by weight pentafluoroethane (HFC-125), and about 39.5% 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.

The disclosed technology relates to a working fluid for a low global warming potential (GWP) refrigeration system that includes a compressor, where the working fluid includes a polyolester oil, an alkylbenzene oil, and a low GWP refrigerant, and where the ester based lubricant comprises dipentaerythritol esterified with a mixture of carboxylic acids, wherein the mixture of carboxylic acids comprises at least one linear carboxylic acid having 8 to 10 carbon atoms. The disclosed technology provides commercially useful low GWP working fluids (commercially useful working fluids based on low GWP refrigerants) that do not have the solubility and/or miscibility problems commonly seen in low GWP fluids, including high viscosity fluids and applications.

Provided is a lubricant composition which is excellent in thermal stability and chemical stability while making it possible to detect a leakage point of the lubricant composition, etc. with a fluorescent agent. The lubricant composition is one containing a base oil (A) and a fused ring compound (B) being fluorescent, having a tri- or higher fused ring, and not having nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur in a molecule thereof, wherein the fused ring compound (B) is contained in an amount of 0.001 to 1.0% by mass on a basis of the whole amount of the lubricant composition.

A method for improving oxidative stability of a lubricating oil in a diesel engine, in which biodiesel fuel is used with diesel fuel in the diesel engine, by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil. The formulated oil has a composition including at least one Group V lubricating oil base stock. The at least one Group V lubricating oil base stock is present in an amount from 1 to 75 weight percent, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil. Oxidative stability is improved in a diesel engine lubricated with the lubricating oil, as compared to oxidative stability achieved in a diesel engine lubricated with a lubricating oil not having the at least one Group V lubricating oil base stock, as determined by a CEC L-109-16 Bio-Diesel Oxidation Bench test. The lubricating oils are useful as passenger vehicle engine oil (PVEO) products or commercial vehicle engine oil (CVEO) products.

A turbine oil used in a turbine of a jet engine, containing: a base oil (A) containing a polyol ester (A1); an antioxidant (B) containing an amine-based antioxidant (B1); a polymethacrylate (C) having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 to 600,000; and an alkyl aromatic compound (D), having a content of the component (D) of 1,000 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of a total resin content of the component (C), and satisfying the following requirements (1) and (2): requirement (1): a viscosity index of 140 or more; and requirement (2): a coking amount attached to a panel of 80 mg or less after a panel coking test under the prescribed condition. The turbine oil has a high viscosity index to such an extent that an oil film can be retained in the use under a high temperature environment as in a turbine of a jet engine mounted on an aircraft, and is excellent in low temperature viscosity characteristics while retaining excellent heat resistance.

Miscible antifoams are provided that do not separate out of a target liquid and that are easy to incorporate in the target liquid. A method or system involves mixing a liquid (a miscible antifoam) into a target foaming liquid. This miscible antifoam is engineered/chosen such that it has both a higher surface tension and is more volatile than the target liquid, or engineered such that it has both a lower surface tension and is less volatility than the target liquid. The miscible antifoam leads to surface tension gradients that cause bubble rupture up to 10 times faster than the target liquid without the antifoam. Further, the miscible antifoams are easy to incorporate and do not separate out from the target liquid during operationboth of which are key limitations faced by existing antifoams.

The present invention relates to an aqueous lubricant composition for lubricating moving parts in a mechanical system, comprising at least water, glycerol; and hypericin.

It also relates to the use of this aqueous lubricant composition for lubricating moving parts in a mechanical system, in particular in a vehicle propulsion system.
