PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the energy efficiency of a temperature modifying and/or controlling system in which a refrigerator oil formulation is, or is intended to be, used. SOLUTION: Use of a Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil component in a refrigerator oil formulation, for the purpose of increasing the energy efficiency of a temperature modifying and/or controlling system in which the formulation is, or is intended to be, used. The Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil component may be a light base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 100°C (VK100) of 1.2-5 centistokes. The system may in particular be a cooling appliance or component thereof. Also provided is a refrigerator oil formulation containing a Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil component which has a VK100 of 1.2-5 centistokes. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
