Abstract: A bearing grease contains a base oil and a thickener. The base oil is a base oil mixture containing a polyalphaolefin and an ester. The bearing grease is used in an atmosphere of a fluorine compound refrigerant containing no hydrogen. A bearing using the bearing grease does not cause elution of grease for a long time.
