  • Publication number: 20150045265
    Abstract: A lubricating oil composition for refrigerating machines contains a base oil and an additive in a form of a naphthalimide compound. A refrigerant used in a refrigerating machine in which the composition is used is unsaturated hydrofluorocarbon (unsaturated HFC) having a GWP of 1000 or less. When the present lubricating oil composition for refrigerating machines is used in refrigerating equipment such as an open-type automobile air-conditioner, an electric automobile air-conditioner, a gas heat pump, other air-conditioning equipment, a refrigerating machine, a vending machine, a showcase, a water-heating system and a refrigerating/heating system, it is possible to detect the leakage of a refrigerant with a long-lasting stability. Therefore, when an unsaturated fron refrigerant with a poor stability is used in the above-listed equipment, the present lubricating oil composition for refrigerating machines is significantly advantageous.

  • Publication number: 20150038381
    Abstract: A lubricating oil composition for refrigerating machines contains a base oil and an additive in a form of a coumarin compound. When the present lubricating oil composition for refrigerating machines is used in refrigerating equipment such as an open-type automobile air-conditioner, an electric automobile air-conditioner, a gas heat pump, other air-conditioning equipment, a refrigerating machine, a vending machine, a showcase, a water-heating system and a refrigerating/heating system, it is possible to detect the leakage of a refrigerant with a long-lasting stability. Therefore, when an unsaturated chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant with a poor stability is used in the above-listed equipment, the present lubricating oil composition for refrigerating machines is significantly advantageous.

  • Publication number: 20150008359
    Abstract: A refrigerant composition contains: hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) with a GWP of 1000 or less; and pentafluoroethane. When the refrigerant composition is used in a refrigerating equipment such as an open-type automobile air-conditioner, an electric automobile air-conditioning equipment, a gas heat pump, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a vending machine, a showcase, a water-heating system and a refrigerating/heating system, the amount of a fluorine compound generated as a result of decomposition of the refrigerant can be suppressed and thus the refrigerators can stably work for a long time.

  • Publication number: 20120330739
    Abstract: A server includes a database that stores, in association with user identification information for identifying the user who purchases or uses goods or services, the number of points that are assigned to the user according to the purchased or used goods or services and that can be used to purchase goods or services. The server divides the points stored in association with the user identification information into user's own points that only the user can use; and other's points that other users other than the user can use, before storing the points in the database.
