Abstract

The present invention provides a refrigerating machine oil comprising a hydrocarbon-based base oil having a viscosity index of 120 or less, and the refrigerating machine oil being used with a 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene refrigerant.

Claims (29)

1. A refrigerating machine oil comprising a hydrocarbon-based base oil,

the refrigerating machine oil having a viscosity index of −30 to 105, and being used with a 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene refrigerant, wherein

the hydrocarbon-based base oil is at least one paraffinic mineral oil-based hydrocarbon oil,

the hydrocarbon-based base oil has a viscosity index of −30 to 105, a % C P of 63 to 90, and a % C N of 13 to 40, and

an amount of the hydrocarbon-based base oil is 95 mass % or more based on the total amount of refrigerating machine oil.

2. The refrigerating machine oil according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrocarbon-based base oil has

a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 20 to 120 mm 2 /s,

a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 2 to 12 mm 2 /s,

a % C A of 5 to 30,

a % C N /% C P of 0.2 to 1.5,

a sulfur content of 8000 ppm by mass or less, and

a nitrogen content of 100 ppm by mass or less.

3. The refrigerating machine oil according to claim 1 ,

further comprising at least one additive selected from the group consisting of an acid scavenger, an antioxidant, an extreme-pressure agent, an oiliness agent, an antifoaming agent, a metal deactivator, an antiwear agent, a viscosity index improver, a pour-point depressant, a detergent dispersant, a friction modifier and a rust inhibitor.

4. A working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine comprising:

a refrigerating machine oil comprising a hydrocarbon-based base oil, the refrigerating machine oil having a viscosity index of −30 to 105, and

a 1-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene refrigerant,

wherein

the hydrocarbon-based base oil is at least one paraffinic mineral oil-based hydrocarbon oil,

the hydrocarbon-based base oil has a viscosity index of −30 to 105, a % C P of 63 to 90, and a % C N of 13 to 40, and

an amount of the hydrocarbon-based base oil is 95 mass % or more based on the total amount of refrigerating machine oil.

5. The working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine according to claim 4 , wherein the hydrocarbon-based base oil has

a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 20 to 120 mm 2 /s,

a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 2 to 12 mm 2 /s,

a % C A of 5 to 30,

a % C N /% C P of 0.2 to 1.5,

a sulfur content of 8000 ppm by mass or less, and

a nitrogen content of 100 ppm by mass or less.

6. The working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine according to claim 4 , wherein the refrigerating machine oil further comprises at least one additive selected from the group consisting of an acid scavenger, an antioxidant, an extreme-pressure agent, an oiliness agent, an antifoaming agent, a metal deactivator, an antiwear agent, a viscosity index improver, a pour-point depressant, a detergent dispersant, a friction modifier and a rust inhibitor.
