<p>The present invention provides a composition for use in compression refrigeration and air-conditioning. The composition comprises: (a) a refrigerant selected from the group consisting of hydrofluorocarbon and hydrochlorofluorocarbon; and (b) a sufficient amount to provide lubrication of at least one fluorinated silicone. The fluorinated silicone has units therein selected from the group consisting of fluoroalkyl and alkyl. If both fluoroalkyl and alkyl units are present in the fluorinated silicone, at least 25 % of the units are fluoroalkyl. The fluorinated silicone has a molecular weight between about 280 and about 6,000; a viscosity of about 10 to about 300 centistokes at 38 °C (0.1 to 3 cm2/sec), and is miscible in combination with the refrigerant in the range between -40 °C and at least +20 °C.</p> |
