REFRIGERATION CYCLE DEVICE AND COMPRESSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18274212 titled 'REFRIGERATION CYCLE DEVICE AND COMPRESSOR

Simplified Explanation

The refrigeration cycle device described in the patent application includes a refrigerant (trifluoroiodomethane), a compressor, and a refrigerating machine oil containing a quinone additive.

  • The refrigerant used in the device is trifluoroiodomethane.
  • The refrigerating machine oil includes a quinone additive selected from a specific group of compounds.
    • Potential Applications:**

This technology could be applied in various refrigeration systems, air conditioning units, and heat pumps.

    • Problems Solved:**

This innovation helps improve the lubrication and efficiency of compressors in refrigeration systems.

    • Benefits:**

Enhanced lubrication, increased efficiency, and potentially longer lifespan of compressors in refrigeration systems.

    • Potential Commercial Applications:**

"Optimizing Refrigeration Systems with Quinone Additives"

    • Possible Prior Art:**

One potential prior art could be the use of different additives in refrigerating machine oils to improve compressor performance.

    • Unanswered Questions:**

1. How does the quinone additive specifically interact with the base oil in the refrigerating machine oil to enhance lubrication? 2. Are there any potential environmental impacts of using trifluoroiodomethane as the refrigerant in this system?


Original Abstract Submitted

A refrigeration cycle device comprises a refrigerant, a compressor that compresses the refrigerant, and a refrigerating machine oil that lubricates a sliding part of the compressor. The refrigerant includes trifluoroiodomethane. The refrigerating machine oil includes a base oil and a quinone additive. The quinone additive is at least one selected from the group consisting of 1,4-benzoquinone, 1,2-benzoquinone, 2-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone, 2-phenyl-1,4-benzoquinone, 2-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone, 1,4-naphthoquinone, 1,2-naphthoquinone, 2,6-naphthoquinone, 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, and 1,4-anthraquinone.
