Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a composition for a refrigeration machine capable of reducing a friction coefficient in friction between sliding members in a refrigeration machine, and a composition kit for a refrigeration machine for providing the composition for a refrigeration machine. A composition for a refrigeration machine of the present disclosure includes a refrigeration machine oil, nanodiamond particles dispersed in the refrigeration machine oil, and a dispersant. The refrigeration machine oil preferably contains a polyvinyl ether, a polyol ester, a polyalkylene glycol, an alkylbenzene, or a mineral oil. The composition kit for a refrigeration machine of the present disclosure includes a refrigeration machine oil (A) containing a base oil and nanodiamond particles dispersed in the base oil, and a refrigerant (B).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A composition for a refrigeration machine, the composition comprising: a refrigeration machine oil; nanodiamond particles dispersed in the refrigeration machine oil; and a dispersant and a refrigerant, wherein a proportion of the nanodiamond particles contained in the composition for a refrigeration machine is from 1 to 500 mass ppm with respect to a total amount of the refrigeration machine oil. 2 . The composition for a refrigeration machine according to claim 1 , wherein the refrigeration machine oil contains a polyvinyl ether, a polyol ester, a polyalkylene glycol, an alkylated aromatic hydrocarbon compound, or a mineral oil. 3 . The composition for a refrigeration machine according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersant includes a dispersant (I) having a mass-average molecular weight of 500 or more and an amine value of 15 mg KOH/g or more and/or a fatty acid ester-based dispersant (II). 4 . The composition for a refrigeration machine according to claim 1 , wherein the refrigeration machine oil has an SP value of from 6.0 to 12.0 (cal/cm 3 ) 1/2 . 5 . The composition for a refrigeration machine according to claim 1 , wherein the composition has a friction coefficient of 0.08 or less when the composition is used as a lubricant in a ring-on-disk friction test under conditions of a surface pressure of 2 MPa and a speed of 1.5 m/s. 6 . The composition for a refrigeration machine according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is for use in a compressor of a refrigeration machine. 7 . The composition for a refrigeration machine according to claim 1 , wherein the refrigeration machine is an air conditioner. 8 . A composition kit for a refrigeration machine, the composition kit comprising: a refrigeration machine oil (A) containing a base oil and nanodiamond particles dispersed in the base oil; and a refrigerant (B), wherein a proportion of the nanodiamond particles contained in the refrigeration machine oil for a refrigeration machine is from 1 to 500 mass ppm with respect to a total amount of the refrigeration machine oil. 9 . The composition kit for a refrigeration machine according to claim 8 , wherein the refrigeration machine oil (A) has a friction coefficient of 0.08 or less when the refrigeration machine oil (A) is used as a lubricant in a ring-on-disk friction test under conditions of a surface pressure of 2 MPa and a speed of 1.5 m/s.
