A lubricating oil comprises a base oil; and an anti-degradation additive comprising microcapsules, nanocapsules, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing; the microcapsules and the nanocapsules each independently having a core of a neutralizing material and a polymeric encapsulant configured to release the neutralizing material in an acidic environment by breaking crosslinks or hydrogen bonds in the polymeric encapsulant. The released neutralizing material can prevent the formation of viscous, high molecular weight molecules thus enhancing the lifetime of the lubricating oil and improving its reliability.

The process relates to a method of using catalyzed graphene with a nanoparticle reacting agent in the refrigeration circuit of a thermal vapor compression system to improve the efficiency of the system. Specifically, the present process relates to a method of using a catalyzed graphene and nanoparticle reacting agent in the refrigeration circuit of an air conditioning, heat pump, or refrigeration system to increase the performance of the system relative to an equivalent system operating in an equivalent environment without the catalyzed graphene and nanoparticle reacting agent.
