  • Patent number: 4304660
    Abstract: Lubricating oils suitable for use in refrigeration equipment in admixture with fluorinated hydrocarbon refrigerants are produced by solvent extraction of naphthenic lubricating oil base stocks, cooling the resulting extract mixture, optionally with the addition of a solvent modifier, to form a secondary raffinate and a secondary extract, and recovering a dewaxed oil fraction of lowered pour point from the secondary raffinate as a refrigeration oil product.The process of the invention obviates the need for a separate dewaxing operation, such as dewaxing with urea, as conventionally employed for the production of refrigeration oils.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 14, 1980
    Date of Patent: December 8, 1981

    Inventors: Avilino Sequeira, Jr., Ralph P. Chesluk, Howard J. Platte
  • Patent number: 4125479
    Abstract: Lubricating oils with superior oxidation inhibition result from the combination of additives in a lubricating oil base; the ashless additive combination comprising methylene bis(dibutyl dithiocarbamate) and 4-methyl-2,6-ditertiary butyl phenol. The above combination of additives displays synergistic activity as an oxidation inhibitor.
