Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine, containing: a refrigerant containing trifluoroiodometbane; and a refrigerating machine oil containing a polyol ester and a hindered phenol compound, wherein a content of the hindered phenol compound is 0.6 to 10% by mass based on a total amount of the refrigerating machine oil.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine, comprising: a refrigerant comprising trifluoroiodomethane, difluoromethane (R32) and pentafluoroethane (R125), wherein a ratio of (R32 and trifluoroiodomethane):R125 is 80 to 95:20 to 5; and a refrigerating machine oil comprising a polyol ester of pentaerythritol and a fatty acid having 4 to 9 carbon atoms, a hindered phenol compound comprising 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, and an acid scavenger being at least one selected from the group consisting of a glycidyl ether epoxy compound represented by the following formula (1) and a glycidyl ester epoxy compound represented by the following formula (2): wherein R a represents an aryl group or an alkyl group having 5 to 18 carbon atoms, and R b represents an alkyl group having 5 to 18 carbon atoms, wherein a content of the polyol ester is 90% by mass or more, a content of the hindered phenol compound is 0.8 to 3% by mass, and a content of the acid scavenger is 0.7 to 3% by mass, based on a total amount of the refrigerating machine oil; and wherein the working fluid composition comprises no unsaturated hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant. 2. A refrigerating machine comprising: a refrigerant circulation system wherein in which a compressor, a condenser, an expansion mechanism, and an evaporator are connected by piping in this order; and the working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine according to claim 1 , filled in the refrigerant circulation system. 3. The working fluid composition according to claim 1 , wherein the refrigerant consists of the trifluoroiodomethane, the difluoromethane (R32), and the pentafluoroethane (R125). 4. The working fluid composition according to claim 1 , wherein the fatty acid comprises at least one of 2-ethylhexanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid. 5. The working fluid composition according to claim 1 , wherein the fatty acid comprises 2-ethylhexanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid.
