Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lubricating oil composition which contains a base oil and a fluorine compound and may have improved cooling performance. The base oil may contain a mineral oil. The base oil may have a kinematic viscosity in a range of from 1 to 25 mm2/s at 40° C. The content of the fluorine compound may be in a range of from 3 to 30% by weight based on the total amount of the composition.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A lubricating oil composition suitable for cooling an electric vehicle apparatus the composition comprising: a base oil; and a fluorine compound, wherein the base oil comprises a mineral oil, wherein the base oil has a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. in a range of from 1 to 5 mm 2 /s, and wherein the fluorine compound is present in a range of from 3 to 15 wt. %, based on total composition weight. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the base oil has a flash point of 60° C. or higher. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the base oil is a mineral oil. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein 70% by weight or more of the base oil is a mineral oil. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the fluorine compound comprises a hydrochlorofluorocarbon, hydrofluorocarbon, hydrofluoroether, or a mixture of two or more of any of these. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the fluorine compound has a boiling point in a range of from 40° C. to 150° C. 7. An apparatus configured for an electric vehicle, the apparatus comprising the composition of claim 1 . 8. A motor, a battery, an inverter, an engine, or a transmission of an electric vehicle, comprising the composition of claim 1 . 9. A cooling device configured for an electric vehicle cooling apparatus, the device comprising the composition of claim 1 . 10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the base oil is a combination of a mineral oil with at least one of synthetic oil selected from a naphthenic compound, a polyolefin compound, an aromatic compound, an ether compound, an ester compound, and a glycol compound. 11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the base oil comprises: a mineral oil, and a naphthenic compound, a polyolefin compound, an aromatic compound, an ether compound, an ester compound, and/or a glycol compound. 12. A method of cooling an apparatus of an electric vehicle, the method comprising: contacting the apparatus and the composition of claim 1 . 13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the apparatus is a motor, a battery, an inverter, an engine, or a transmission of the electric vehicle. 14. The composition of claim 1 , having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. in a range of from 1.80 to 5 mm 2 /s. 15. The composition of claim 1 , having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. in a range of from 1.80 to 2.69 mm 2 /s. 16. The composition of claim 1 , having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. in a range of from 1.80 to 2.03 mm 2 /s. 17. The composition of claim 1 , having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. in a range of from 1 to 2.03 mm 2 /s. 18. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the fluorine compound is present in a range of from 5 to 15 wt. %, based on the total composition weight. 19. The composition of claim 16 , wherein the fluorine compound is present in a range of from 5 to 15 wt. %, based on total composition weight. 20. The composition of claim 1 , having a viscosity index in a range of from 7 to less than 40.
