Abstract

According to a compressor and a refrigeration cycle device using same of the present invention, a refrigerant and refrigeration oil 103 are sealed in an container 101 , the refrigerant is a hydrofluoroolefin having double bond of carbon in its composition or a mixture of hydrofluoroolefin as a base component and hydrofluorocarbon having no double bond, and at least one of benzotriazole, dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid zinc, dialkyl selenium, metal phenate, and organic nitrogen compound is included in the refrigeration oil 103 , and it is an object to suppress the decomposition and polymerization of refrigeration oil and a refrigerant, and to secure reliability of the compressor and the refrigeration cycle device.

Claims (18)

1. A compressor in which a refrigerant and refrigeration oil are sealed, the refrigerant being a hydrofluoroolefin having double bond of carbon in its composition or a mixture of hydrofluoroolefin as a base component and hydrofluorocarbon having no double bond, wherein dialkyl selenium and optionally at least one of metal phenate, and organic nitrogen compound is included in the refrigeration oil,

wherein an antioxidant selected from the group consisting of an amine-based antioxidant, a phenol-based antioxidant and a sulfur, phosphorus-based antioxidant is present in the refrigeration oil.

2. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the amine-based antioxidant is included in the refrigeration oil.

3. The compressor according to claim 2 , wherein the amine-based antioxidant is at least one of phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine and dialkyl diphenyl amine.

4. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the phenol-based antioxidant is included in the refrigeration oil.

5. The compressor according to claim 4 , wherein the phenol-based antioxidant is at least one of 2,6-ditertiary-butyl-p-cresol (DBPC), 3-arylbenzofuran-2-one (intramolecule cyclic ester of hydroxycarboxylic acid).

6. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the sulfur, phosphorus-based antioxidant is included in the refrigeration oil.

7. The compressor according to claim 6 , wherein the sulfur, phosphorus-based antioxidant is at least one of dibenzyl disulfide, dicetyl sulfide, dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid zinc and diallyl dithiophosphoric acid zinc (ZnDTP).

8. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrofluoroolefin is tetrafluoropropene (HFO1234yf), the hydrofluorocarbon is one or both of difluoromethane (HFC32) and pentafluoroethane (HFC125), and the refrigeration oil is one of polyvinyl ether, polyol ester and polyalkylene glycol.

9. A refrigeration cycle device for forming a refrigeration cycle which compresses, condenses, expands and evaporates a refrigerant, wherein the compressor according to claim 1 is used.

10. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the refrigeration oil is polyol ester.

11. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein

a stator of a motor is fixed to an upper portion in a sealed container,

a compressing mechanism including a shaft driven by a rotor of motor is fixed to a lower portion in the sealed container,

a piston is inserted into an eccentric portion of a shaft in the cylinder of the compressing mechanism,

a suction chamber and a compressing chamber are formed through partitioning by a vane between an inner surface of the cylinder and an outer surface of the piston, and

the compressing mechanism is formed of a metal material.

12. The compressor according to claim 11 , wherein the metal material comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of iron, copper and aluminum.
