Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel acid-free quaternized nitrogen compounds, to the preparation thereof and to the use thereof as a fuel and lubricant additive, more particularly as a detergent additive, as a wax antisettling additive (WASA) or as an additive for reducing internal diesel injector deposits (IDID); to additive packages which comprise these compounds; and to fuels and lubricants thus additized. The present invention further relates to the use of these acid-free quaternized nitrogen compounds as a fuel additive for reducing or preventing deposits in the injection systems of direct-injection diesel engines, especially in common-rail injection systems, for reducing the fuel consumption of direct-injection diesel engines, especially of diesel engines with common-rail injection systems, and for minimizing power loss in direct-injection diesel engines, especially in diesel engines with common-rail injection systems.

Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for selecting refrigerant and lubricant combinations for use in heat transfer cycle systems and provides methods for operating said heat transfer systems. More particularly, the invention provides methods to select lubricant and refrigerant combinations for a heat transfer cycle system wherein at the lower temperatures of the heat transfer cycle the refrigerant and lubricant are miscible and at the upper temperatures of the heat transfer cycle the refrigerant and lubricant are phase separated and such that the density phase inversion temperature of the combination is below the upper operating temperature of the heat transfer cycle.
Abstract:
The working fluid composition for a refrigerating machine of the present invention comprises: a refrigerating machine oil comprising a mineral oil and an alkylbenzene in a mass ratio, the mineral oil/the alkylbenzene, of 85/15 to 15/85, wherein the mineral oil has a % CN by n-d-M ring analysis of 20 to 60, a pour point of −15° C. or less and a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 1.5 to 15 mm2/s; and a hydrocarbon refrigerant having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, wherein the refrigerating machine oil having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 2 to 12 mm2/s and a flash point of 120° C. or more.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to polymeric oil-return agents which solubilize or disperse mineral oil and/or synthetic oil lubricants with hydrofluorocarbon, hydrochlorofluorocarbon, and hydrofluoroolefin-based refrigerants and refrigerant compositions containing them. The polymeric oil-return agents are random copolymers containing less than about 30 wt % fluorine and produced from at least one monomer providing compatibility with the oil phase and at least one monomer providing compatibility with the refrigerant phase. The polymeric oil-return agents provide for more efficient return of mineral oil and/or synthetic oil lubricants from non-compressor zones back to a compressor zone in a refrigeration system.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to fluorine free polymeric oil-return agents that increase the miscibility of lubricants such as mineral oils and/or oxygenated lubricants with refrigerants in order to improve oil return and system performance of refrigeration systems. It was discovered that fluorine free block copolymers having a block compatible with the oil phase, and at least one block compatible with the refrigerant phase can effectively compatibilize lubricating oils with HFC and HFO refrigerants.
