Abstract: A process for operating a compressor heat pump or a compressor refrigeration system using ammonia as the refrigerant and a refrigerant compressor lubricated with a lubricant from the polyalkylene glycol family, The polyalkylene glycols used as lubricants have a specific composition and an amine is added thereto. Monofunctional or difunctional polyalkylene glycols are used as lubricants.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new three-part process, which can also be employed on a large industrial scale, for the preparation of polyurea lubricating greases, which is characterised(a) in that polyureas which carry oleophilic groups are prepared by reaction of diisocyanates with amines either in the absence of a solvent on a reaction screw at 80.degree.-120.degree. C., preferably at 85.degree.-95.degree. C., (variant A) or in a toluene medium at 20.degree.-80.degree. C., preferably at 30.degree.-60.degree. C., (variant B),(b) in that, after complete reaction, the polyureas prepared according to (a) are ground in the solid, dry state to give powders (at least 70% by weight of the powder having particle sizes of about 100-400.mu.) and(c) in that the ground crude product, after being made into a "paste" (wetted) at elevated temperature in the base oil employed (10-30 minutes at 140.degree.-180.degree. C.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of combinations of water-soluble polymeric polyether polyols, in which at least 50% of the terminal hydroxyl groups are blocked by reaction with a monoisocyanate incorporating a long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radical, and certain surfactants as thickener systems for high water based functional fluids and to the thickened high water based functional fluids.

Abstract: The new sulphur-containing polyether-urethanes are prepared by a polyaddition reaction of aromatic, cycloaliphatic and/or aliphatic polyisocyanates with(a) at least one aliphatic dialcohol containing a sulphur bridge, of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 to R.sup.8 are identical or different and denote hydrogen or an alkyl radical with 1 to 10 carbon atoms andx denotes the average number of sulphur atoms in the range from 1.5 to 4,if appropriate in the presence of(b) a polyethylene glycol and/or(c) a dialcohol which carries at least one anionic group and/or at least one diamine which carries an anionic group, and, if appropriate,(d) other cycloaliphatic, araliphatic or heterocyclic dialcohols and/or aromatic, cycloaliphatic or aliphatic diamines.The compounds can be used as anti-wear agents in aqueous hydraulic fluids and cooling lubricant concentrates.

Abstract: Organopolysiloxanes of the formula ##STR1## in which R is an alkyl radical having 6 to 18 C atoms,R' is an alkyl radical having 1 to 7 C atoms or the phenyl radical,a and b each independently is an integer from 1 to 500, the ratio of b:a being at least 2, are miscible with mineral oil and synthetic lubricating oils and have a pour point below -15.degree.

Abstract: A composition comprising 96-99.9% by weight of a highly flame-resistant base oil such as an aromatic phosphate ester or a polychlorinated aromatic compound and a polyester of molecular weight, 20,000 to 300,000, derived from polytetramethylene glycol, for instance. The composition has an improved viscosity index and is especially useful as a HSD lubricant. It is also useful as a hydraulic fluid and/or heat transfer liquid. By addition of such a polyester to such base oil, the viscosity index of the base oil is considerably improved.
