[Prior Art] As refrigerators have become smaller and larger in capacity in recent years,
The operating temperature of refrigerators is becoming higher and higher. Conventionally, naphthenic mineral oils, paraffinic mineral oils, and the like have been used as refrigeration oils, but these mineral oil-based refrigeration oils do not have sufficient oxidation stability at high temperatures. Ester-based lubricating oils with excellent oxidation stability are used alone or in combination as refrigerating machine oils (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 125494/1983).

Currently, chlorofluorocarbons such as R-11 (trichloromonofluoromethane), R-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane), and R-22 (monochlorodifluoromethane) are used as refrigerants in refrigerators. Since fluorocarbons destroy the ozone layer, fluorocarbons such as R-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane), which do not affect the ozone layer, are being considered as alternative fluorocarbons for refrigerators. However, R-134a has the problem of not being soluble in mineral oil, which has traditionally been used as refrigeration oil, and polyalkylene glycol-based refrigeration oils have been proposed; However, they are not always fully satisfactory in terms of performance, compatibility with fluorocarbons in high-temperature ranges, electrical insulation properties, etc. Therefore, ester-based refrigeration oil is being considered as an alternative to this (Shigehiro Uemura, Status of technological development of alternative fluorocarbon refrigerants, 1990 Petroleum Products Conference Lecture Materials).

[0004] Ester-based refrigerating machine oil is an excellent refrigerating machine oil that has properties not found in mineral oil-based refrigerating machine oil, but esters have the disadvantage of being easily hydrolyzed. Free fatty acids produced by hydrolysis have adverse effects such as corroding the metal parts of refrigerators. In the case of refrigerating machine oils such as electric refrigerators, the disadvantage of easy hydrolysis of esters is particularly problematic because they are used at high temperatures for long periods of 10 to 20 years.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] An effective way to prevent hydrolysis is to control the water content in the ester to keep it as low as possible, but excessive water control deteriorates workability.

It can be purified by a purification process such as adsorption treatment. From the viewpoint of oxidative stability and hydrolytic stability, it is desirable that the acid value of the purified ester is 1 mgKOH/g or less, and the hydroxyl value is 40 mgKOH/g or less.
