REFRIGERATING MACHINE OIL FOR CARBON DIOXIDE REFRIGERANT AND FLUID COMPOSITION FOR REFRIGERATING MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain both a refrigerating machine oil for a carbon dioxide refrigerant which has a sufficiently wide composition range exhibiting compatibility in mixing with a carbon dioxide refrigerant under a low-temperature condition and excellent lubricating properties and stability and sufficiently prevents a bad lubrication in use in a refrigerating machine for a carbon dioxide refrigerant, with which a sufficiently high heat exchange ratio can be obtained and a fluid composition for a refrigerating machine using the same. SOLUTION: This refrigerating machine oil for carbon dioxide refrigerant is characterized by comprising a polyalkylene glycol represented by genreal formula (1): R1-(OR2)n-OH [R1 is a hydrogen atom, a 1-2C alkyl group or a 2-3C acyl group; R2 is a 2-4C alkylene group; n is an integer of making a number-average molecular weight 500-3,000].
