A lubricating oil for refrigerating machines mainly comprises polyoxyalkylene compounds represented by the following formula (I);
wherein A represents a residue obtained from a compound which has both a heterocyclic ring having an ether linkage and hydroxyl groups in the molecule by eliminating the hydroxyl groups from the compound; R¹ and R² are each an alkylene group; R³ is an alkyl group; R⁴ is hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; a and b are each a positive integer and ℓ, m and n are each an integer of 0 or more with the proviso that a·ℓ + b·m = 2 to 100 and ℓ + m + n = 2 to 20; further,
the polyoxyalkylene compounds satisfying the following two conditions:
(a) the compounds have a hydroxyl value ranging from 0 mgKOH/g to 30.0 mgKOH/g and
(b) a ratio of butylene groups of all alkylene groups represented by R¹ and R² to the all alkylene groups satisfies the following formula (1)0.5 ≦ p/(p + q) ≦ 1.0 wherein "p" is the number of butylene groups, "q" is the number of alkylene groups excluding the butylene groups.
In other embodiments, this invention relates to a composition for refrigerating machines comprising the lubricating oil mentioned above and an alkane fluoride and/or alkane chlorofluoride refrigerant, and also to a refrigerating machine wherein the composition is used.
