Description

本発明は、冷凍機油用グリースに関する。 The present invention relates to grease for refrigerating machine oil.

冷凍サイクルでは、冷媒が液体から気体、気体から液体へと変化を繰り返しながら循環している。この冷媒が循環する循環ライン中に、冷媒を圧縮する圧縮機が配置されている。
圧縮機には、潤滑するための冷凍機油が収容されている。例えば特許文献1には、冷凍機油としてエステル油、エーテル油、カーボネート油の少なくとも1つを使用した冷凍圧縮機が開示されている。
In the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant circulates while repeatedly changing from liquid to gas and from gas to liquid. A compressor that compresses the refrigerant is arranged in the circulation line in which the refrigerant circulates.
The compressor contains refrigerating machine oil for lubrication. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a refrigerating compressor using at least one of an ester oil, an ether oil, and a carbonate oil as a refrigerating machine oil.

冷凍機油は冷媒に溶解しやすく、冷凍機油を溶解した冷媒が圧縮機から吐出され、冷凍サイクル内を循環する。このとき、冷媒に溶解した冷凍機油の一部が析出し、冷凍サイクル内の管壁や熱交換機等に付着して油膜を形成することで、熱伝導率が下がり、熱交換能力が低下することがあった。
そこで、近年では冷媒に相溶しにくい冷凍機油が用いられている。
The refrigerating machine oil is easily dissolved in the refrigerant, and the refrigerant in which the refrigerating machine oil is dissolved is discharged from the compressor and circulates in the refrigerating cycle. At this time, a part of the refrigerating machine oil dissolved in the refrigerant is deposited and adheres to the pipe wall or the heat exchanger in the refrigerating cycle to form an oil film, so that the thermal conductivity is lowered and the heat exchange capacity is lowered. was there.
Therefore, in recent years, refrigerating machine oil that is difficult to be compatible with the refrigerant has been used.

特開平9-303278号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-303278

しかしながら、冷媒に相溶しにくい冷凍機油を用いたとしても、冷媒の流れに伴って冷凍機油が流動し、冷媒と共に圧縮機から吐出されることがあった。その結果、冷凍サイクル内の管壁や熱交換機等に冷凍機油が付着して油膜が形成され、熱交換能力が低下する。
圧縮機の吐出口側に油分離器を設けて、圧縮機より吐出された冷媒と冷凍機油とを分離すれば、管壁や熱交換機等への油膜の形成を抑制できるが、冷凍サイクルの大型化につながってしまう。
そのため、冷凍機油には、冷媒に相溶しにくく、かつ、冷媒に流されにくいことが求められている。
However, even if refrigerating machine oil that is difficult to be compatible with the refrigerant is used, the refrigerating machine oil may flow with the flow of the refrigerant and may be discharged from the compressor together with the refrigerant. As a result, the refrigerating machine oil adheres to the pipe wall or the heat exchanger in the refrigerating cycle to form an oil film, and the heat exchange capacity is lowered.
If an oil separator is provided on the discharge port side of the compressor to separate the refrigerant discharged from the compressor from the refrigerating machine oil, the formation of an oil film on the pipe wall or heat exchanger can be suppressed, but the refrigeration cycle is large. It will lead to the conversion.
Therefore, the refrigerating machine oil is required to be difficult to be compatible with the refrigerant and to be difficult to be washed away by the refrigerant.

本発明は上記事情に鑑みてなされたもので、冷媒に相溶しにくく、かつ、冷媒に流されにくい冷凍機油用グリースを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a grease for refrigerating machine oil that is difficult to be compatible with a refrigerant and is difficult to be washed away by a refrigerant.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明は以下の手段を提案している。
すなわち、本発明の一態様に係る冷凍機油用グリースは、炭化水素油と、融点が270℃以下の樹脂とを含み、25℃における不混和ちょう度が100~340である。
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means.
That is, the grease for refrigerating machine oil according to one aspect of the present invention contains a hydrocarbon oil and a resin having a melting point of 270 ° C. or lower, and has an immiscible consistency at 25 ° C. of 100 to 340.

上記構成によれば、基油である炭化水素油と、増ちょう剤である融点が270℃以下の樹脂とを含み、25℃における不混和ちょう度が100~340であることにより、本実施形態の冷凍機油用グリースは冷媒に相溶しにくく、かつ、冷媒に流されにくくなる。よって、圧縮機から冷凍機油が吐出されにくく、冷凍サイクル内の管壁や熱交換機等に付着して油膜を形成することを防止でき、熱伝導率を良好に維持でき、熱交換能力の低下を抑制できる。
しかも、本実施形態の冷凍機油用グリースは、圧縮機から吐出されにくいので、冷凍サイクル内に油分離器を設ける必要がない。よって、冷凍サイクルの大型化や部品点数の増加を抑制できる。
加えて、本実施形態の冷凍機油用グリースを用いた圧縮機は、冷凍機油用グリースが吐出されにくいので、あたかもオイルレス圧縮機のように見える。
According to the above configuration, the present embodiment comprises a hydrocarbon oil as a base oil and a resin having a melting point of 270 ° C. or lower as a thickener and having an immiscible consistency at 25 ° C. of 100 to 340. The grease for refrigerating machine oil is difficult to be compatible with the refrigerant and is not easily washed away by the refrigerant. Therefore, it is difficult for the refrigerating machine oil to be discharged from the compressor, it is possible to prevent the oil film from adhering to the pipe wall or the heat exchanger in the refrigerating cycle, the thermal conductivity can be maintained well, and the heat exchange capacity is reduced. Can be suppressed.
Moreover, since the grease for refrigerating machine oil of the present embodiment is difficult to be discharged from the compressor, it is not necessary to provide an oil separator in the refrigerating cycle. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the size of the refrigeration cycle and an increase in the number of parts.
In addition, the compressor using the grease for refrigerating machine oil of the present embodiment looks like an oilless compressor because the grease for refrigerating machine oil is difficult to be discharged.

また、前記炭化水素油の40℃における動粘度が20000mm/s以上であり、前記樹脂の含有量が4~10質量%であることが好ましい。 Further, it is preferable that the kinematic viscosity of the hydrocarbon oil at 40 ° C. is 20000 mm 2 / s or more and the content of the resin is 4 to 10% by mass.

上記構成によれば、40℃における動粘度が20000mm/s以上である炭化水素油を用いたときに、冷凍機油用グリースの総質量に対する融点が270℃以下の樹脂の含有量を4~10質量%とすることで、冷凍機油としての適度な粘度を維持しつつ、冷媒により流されにくくなる。 According to the above configuration, when a hydrocarbon oil having a kinematic viscosity of 20000 mm 2 / s or more at 40 ° C. is used, the content of the resin having a melting point of 270 ° C. or less with respect to the total mass of the grease for refrigerating machine oil is 4 to 10. By setting the mass%, it becomes difficult to be washed away by the refrigerant while maintaining an appropriate viscosity as the refrigerating machine oil.

また、前記炭化水素油の40℃における動粘度が20000mm/s未満であり、前記樹脂の含有量が5~15質量%であることが好ましい。 Further, it is preferable that the kinematic viscosity of the hydrocarbon oil at 40 ° C. is less than 20000 mm 2 / s and the content of the resin is 5 to 15% by mass.

By setting the mass%, it becomes difficult to be washed away by the refrigerant while maintaining an appropriate viscosity as the refrigerating machine oil.

<作用効果>
以上説明した本実施形態の冷凍機油用グリースによれば、炭化水素油と樹脂(A)とを含み、25℃における不混和ちょう度が100~340であるため、冷媒に相溶しにくく、かつ、冷媒に流されにくくなる。よって、本実施形態の冷凍機油用グリースは圧縮機から吐出されにくく、冷凍サイクル内の管壁や熱交換機等に付着して油膜を形成することを防止でき、熱伝導率を良好に維持でき、熱交換能力の低下を抑制できる。
<Action effect>
According to the grease for refrigerating machine oil of the present embodiment described above, since the grease contains the hydrocarbon oil and the resin (A) and has an immiscible consistency of 100 to 340 at 25 ° C., it is difficult to be compatible with the refrigerant and is not compatible with the refrigerant. , It becomes difficult to be washed away by the refrigerant. Therefore, the grease for refrigerating machine oil of the present embodiment is difficult to be discharged from the compressor, can be prevented from adhering to the pipe wall or the heat exchanger in the refrigerating cycle to form an oil film, and can maintain good thermal conductivity. It is possible to suppress a decrease in heat exchange capacity.

しかも、本実施形態の冷凍機油用グリースは、圧縮機から吐出されにくいので、冷凍サイクル内に油分離器を設ける必要がない。よって、冷凍サイクルの大型化や部品点数の増加を抑制できる。
加えて、本実施形態の冷凍機油用グリースを用いた圧縮機は、冷凍機油用グリースが吐出されにくいので、あたかもオイルレス圧縮機のように見える。
Moreover, since the grease for refrigerating machine oil of the present embodiment is difficult to be discharged from the compressor, it is not necessary to provide an oil separator in the refrigerating cycle. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the size of the refrigeration cycle and an increase in the number of parts.
In addition, the compressor using the grease for refrigerating machine oil of the present embodiment looks like an oilless compressor because the grease for refrigerating machine oil is difficult to be discharged.

また、炭化水素油の40℃における動粘度が20000mm/s以上の場合、樹脂(A)の含有量が4~10質量%であれば、冷凍機油としての適度な粘度を維持しつつ、冷媒により流されにくくなる。 When the kinematic viscosity of the hydrocarbon oil at 40 ° C. is 20000 mm 2 / s or more and the content of the resin (A) is 4 to 10% by mass, the refrigerant maintains an appropriate viscosity as a refrigerating machine oil. Makes it harder to be washed away.

また、炭化水素油の40℃における動粘度が20000mm/s未満の場合、樹脂(A)の含有量が5~15質量%であれば、冷凍機油としての適度な粘度を維持しつつ、冷媒により流されにくくなる。 Further, when the kinematic viscosity of the hydrocarbon oil at 40 ° C. is less than 20000 mm 2 / s and the content of the resin (A) is 5 to 15% by mass, the refrigerant maintains an appropriate viscosity as a refrigerating machine oil. Makes it harder to be washed away.

表1、2の結果から明らかなように、各実施例で得られた冷凍機油用グリースは、冷媒に相溶しにくく、かつ、冷媒に流されにくかった。また、摺動性にも優れていた。
対して、表3の結果から明らかなように、不混和ちょう度が340超である比較例1、2で得られた冷凍機油用グリースは、冷媒に流されやすかった。
不混和ちょう度が100未満である比較例3で得られた冷凍機油用グリースは、冷媒と共に流動しないが、ワックス状を呈しており、冷凍機油として不向きであった。
樹脂(A)の代わりにシリカを用いた比較例4で得られた冷凍機油用グリースは、冷媒に流されやすかった。
なお、比較例1、2、4の場合、冷凍機油用グリースが冷媒に流されやすかったため、摺動性の評価は不要と判断し、評価しなかった。
As is clear from the results in Tables 1 and 2, the grease for refrigerating machine oil obtained in each example was difficult to be compatible with the refrigerant and was not easily washed away by the refrigerant. It was also excellent in slidability.
On the other hand, as is clear from the results in Table 3, the grease for refrigerating machine oil obtained in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 having an immiscible consistency of more than 340 was easily washed away by the refrigerant.
The grease for refrigerating machine oil obtained in Comparative Example 3 having an immiscible consistency of less than 100 did not flow with the refrigerant, but was waxy and unsuitable as refrigerating machine oil.
The grease for refrigerating machine oil obtained in Comparative Example 4 in which silica was used instead of the resin (A) was easily washed away by the refrigerant.
In the cases of Comparative Examples 1, 2 and 4, since the grease for refrigerating machine oil was easily flowed into the refrigerant, it was judged that the evaluation of slidability was unnecessary and was not evaluated.
