Abstract

Polyol ester lubricant compositions comprising predominately straight chain C5-10 alkylcarboxlate esters of neopentyl alcohols, for example, straight chain C5-10 alkylcarboxlate esters of one or more of trimethylol propane, pentaerythritol, di-pentaerythritol, tri-pentaerythritol or pentaerythritol oligomers, and working fluids comprising said lubricant compositions and a hydrocarbon refrigerant, suitable for heat transfer devices including refrigeration and air conditioning systems are provided. The polyol ester lubricant compositions have a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 22-125 cSt and a viscosity index of greater than 140, and are characterized by having very high lubricity, excellent load carrying properties and excellent low temperature properties.
