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.

Described herein are methods of stabilizing the beta hydrogen of glycerol based esters by the insertion of alkoxy groups to significantly improve the thermal, oxidative, and hydrolytic stability of the ester and allow for controlling the molar density of esters bonds in the lubricants to maximize hydrolytic stability while maintaining biodegradability and further improving performance properties.

A liquid anti-friction composition includes an ester product having a number average molecular weight that is greater than 3800 g/mol, and obtained by subjecting a mixture that includes diglycerol, a monobasic acid component, and a dibasic acid component to an esterification reaction. The monobasic acid component includes at least one C.sub.14-C.sub.24 branched chain fatty acid.
