  • Publication number: 20090270292
    Abstract: A lubricant composition, which comprises a fluoro-oil, a powdery fluororesin thickener, and Ca salt or Na salt of aromatic sulfonic acid or saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid as a rust-inhibitive additive, where the thickener is in a proportion of 10-40% by weight, and the additive is in a proportion of 0.3-10% by weight, on the basis of total weight of the composition, the balance being the fluoro-oil. The lubricant composition containing the powdery fluororesin in an appropriate admixing proportion as a thickener in the fluoro oil has a distinguished rust inhibition, particularly even after having being subjected to heat hysteresis, where a perfluoropolyether oil is usually used as a fluoro-oil.

  • Patent number: 6599102
    Abstract: Disclosed are a gas compressor and an air conditioning system in which an anomalous temperature rise in an electro-magnetic clutch is detected at an early stage to stop the operation of the gas compressor. A temperature sensor is mounted at a position in the vicinity of a portion of the electro-magnetic clutch which is subject to anomalous heat generation. When there is a rise in the temperature as detected by the temperature sensor, a driving circuit of the electro-magnetic clutch is interrupted before trouble is caused by an abnormally high temperature.
