Abstract
Description
Refrigerant oil and heat pump containing the same
[0001] The present disclosure relates to refrigerant oil and a heat pump including the same.
[0002]
[0003] Recently, the types of heat pumps used indoors and outdoors have diversified, and the development of electric vehicles and other technologies has led to a demand for miniaturized heat pumps. Heat pumps are equipped with a refrigerant circulation system that includes a compressor, condenser, expansion device, and evaporator. A refrigerant circulation system utilizes the phenomenon of heat being taken from the surroundings when a liquid vaporizes. The cycle repeats, including compression and temperature increase of the vaporized refrigerant in the compressor, liquefaction of the refrigerant through heat-radiating condensation in the condenser, depressurization and expansion in the expansion device, and vaporization of the refrigerant in the evaporator.
[0004] In addition to refrigerant, the refrigerant circulation system is filled with refrigerant oil to lubricate the compressor's sliding parts. Refrigerant oil is designed to achieve the desired performance when charged to the refrigerant circulation system. However, compatibility with the refrigerant becomes crucial. For example, refrigerant oil with poor compatibility with the refrigerant may not be compatible with the refrigerant when circulated within the refrigerant circulation system, potentially preventing it from reaching the compressor's sliding parts, leading to concerns about deterioration in lubrication.
[0005] To better meet these performance requirements, refrigerating lubricants primarily composed of oxygen-containing organic compounds, such as vinyl ether compounds and polyoxyalkylene glycols, are commonly used for HFC refrigerants. To further enhance the stability and lubricating performance of refrigerating lubricants primarily composed of oxygen-containing organic compounds, various additives are typically added.

[0033]
[0034] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a refrigerant oil comprising a silane compound is provided.
[0035] As the above refrigerant oil contains a silane compound, the chemical stability of the refrigerant at high temperature and / or high pressure can be improved.
[0036] Below, the present disclosure will be described in detail. However, this is merely exemplary and the present disclosure is not limited to the specific embodiments described as examples.
[0037] The term "organic group" as used herein may be a substituent containing only carbon and hydrogen, or containing one or more heteroatoms and containing carbon and hydrogen.
[0038] The term "heteroatom" as used herein may be an atom other than carbon and / or hydrogen. For example, the heteroatom may be nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), etc.
[0039] The term "substituted" as used in the present disclosure may mean that at least one of the hydrogen atoms of the compound is substituted with a substituent such as a halogen group, a hydroxy group, a heteroalkyl group, a heterocycloalkyl group, a heteroaryl group, an amine group, a nitrile group, a nitro group, or a silyl group.
[0040] The term “unsubstituted” as used herein may mean that all hydrogen atoms of a compound are unsubstituted.
[0041] The term “alkyl group” as used in this disclosure may mean a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, unless otherwise defined in the relevant part.
[0042] The term "cycloalkyl group" as used in this disclosure may mean a functional group in which one hydrogen atom is removed from a cycloalkane having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, unless otherwise defined in the relevant part.
[0043] The term "aryl group" used in the present disclosure may mean a functional group in which one hydrogen atom is removed from an aromatic hydrocarbon having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, unless otherwise defined in the relevant part.
[0044] The term "alkylene group" used in this disclosure may mean a functional group in which two hydrogen atoms are removed from a straight or branched alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, unless otherwise defined in the relevant part.
[0045] Refrigerating oil according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure comprises a silane compound including at least one of a glycidyl group and an isocyanate group.
[0046] In exemplary embodiments, the silane compound may act as an acid scavenger. Additionally, it may also act as a moisture scavenger. Refrigerant oil may be used with a refrigerant in a heat exchange system (e.g., a heat pump), and the silane compound may function to remove acids generated by the decomposition of the refrigerant during system operation. By including the silane compound in the refrigerant oil, its chemical stability at high temperatures and / or high pressures may be improved.
[0047] In the present disclosure, since the silane compound includes a glycidyl group as a functional group, the acid-capturing ability and moisture-capturing ability can be further improved.
[0048] In the present disclosure, since the silane compound includes an isocyanate group as a functional group, the acid-capturing ability and moisture-capturing ability can be further improved.
[0049] In exemplary embodiments, the refrigerant oil may be used with a refrigerant including trifluoroiodomethane (R-13I1). Trifluoroiodomethane (R-13I1) is a type of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant, has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0, and a global warming potential (GWP) of less than 5. Accordingly, by including trifluoroiodomethane (R-13I1) in the refrigerant, environmental friendliness may be improved.
[0050] Due to its reactivity, trifluoroiodomethane (R-13I1) can react with moisture to produce acid. This can result in discoloration of refrigerant or refrigerant oil, sludge formation, and metal corrosion due to oxidation of the refrigerant or refrigerant oil. Furthermore, the production of the acid can accelerate the decomposition of trifluoroiodomethane (R-13I1). In the present disclosure, the refrigerant oil of the embodiments includes a silane compound as an acid scavenger, thereby removing the acid produced by the decomposition of the refrigerant.
[0051] In exemplary embodiments, the silane compound may be present in an amount of 5 wt% or less, or 0.1 wt% to 5 wt%, or 1 wt% to 5 wt%, or 1 wt% to 3 wt%, or 1 wt% to 2 wt% of the total weight of the refrigerating oil. When the silane compound is present in an amount of 5 wt% or less of the total weight of the refrigerating oil, the lubricating performance of the refrigerating oil may be prevented from deteriorating. In addition, the chemical stability of trifluoroiodomethane (R-13I1), which is a refrigerant, may be further improved, such as by preventing iodine contained in the refrigerant trifluoroiodomethane (R-13I1) from attaching to a metal surface.
[0052] In exemplary embodiments, the silane compound including the glycidyl group may include a silane compound represented by the following chemical formula 1.

When the refrigerating oil contains the stabilizer in an amount of 3 wt% or less, the initial total acid number (TAN) of the refrigerating oil can be prevented from becoming excessively high, thereby further improving the chemical stability of the refrigerating oil.
[0074] In exemplary embodiments, the refrigerating oil may further include a lubricant. For example, the lubricant may include paraffin, naphthene, aromatic hydrocarbon, benzene or naphthalene substituted or unsubstituted with linear and branched alkyl groups, polyester, polyol ester, polyvinyl ether, and the like.
