A study of high‐boiling alkylbenzene fractions as synthetic lubricants for refrigerators

Abstract

The properties of synthetic oils based on high-boiling alkylbenzenes - good low temperature behaviour, thermo-oxidative, anticorrosive and hydrolylic stability, make them suitable candidates as lubricating oils for refrigerator machinery. This paper reports the results of investigations by column adrorption chromatography and GC-MS into the nature and properties of three high boiling alkylbenzene fractions, and their behaviour when compounded into candidate refrigerator oils.
