An HFO refrigerant composition comprising at least one type of HFO refrigerant and a polymer of halogenated propene represented by C 3 H a F b Cl c (provided that a+b+c=6, a=an integer of 1 to 3, b=an integer of 3 to 5, and c=an integer of 0 to 1) that is an oligomer having a molecular weight of 200 to 900.
2. The HFO refrigerant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the HFO refrigerant is at least one member selected from the group consisting of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf), (Z or E-)1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze), (Z or E-) 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene (HFO-1225ye), 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene (HFO-1225zc), and 3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFO-1243zf).
3. The HFO refrigerant composition according to claim 1 comprising the oligomer in an amount of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the HFO refrigerant.
4. The HFO refrigerant composition according to claim 1 further comprising a lubricant.
5. The HFO refrigerant composition according to claim 4 , wherein the lubricant is at least one member selected from the group consisting of polyalkylene glycols, polyol esters, polyvinyl ethers, and alkylbenzenes, having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 5 to 400 cSt.
6. The HFO refrigerant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the HFO refrigerant composition is used for at least one member selected from the group consisting of mobile air conditioners, refrigerators, turbo freezers, container freezers, household air conditioners, and industrial air conditioners.
