Abstract

A composition including 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and a lubricating oil including a polyalkylene glycol and a polyol ester, the polyol ester content in the lubricating oil being less than or equal to 25%. A method of lubricating a vapor compression circuit, the method including using a mixture including a polyalkylene glycol and a polyol ester as lubricating oil in the vapor compression circuit, in combination with a heat transfer fluid comprising 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, the content of polyol ester in the lubricating oil being less than or equal to 25%. Further, the use of said composition in methods for heating or cooling.
