Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a refrigerating machine oil composition comprising: (A) 85 to 30% by weight of alkyl benzene having a kinematic viscosity at 40 DEG C. of 30 cSt or more; (B) 5 to 70% by weight of a paraffin-based mineral oil having a kinematic viscosity at 40 DEG C. of 20 to 500 cSt, a pour point of -35 DEG C. or lower, a viscosity index of 60 or more, and a sulfur content of 100 ppm or less; and (C) 1 to 30% by weight of a naphthene-based mineral oil having a kinematic viscosity at 40 DEG C. of 5 to 500 cSt, a pour point of -30 DEG C. or lower, and a sulfur content of 0.05 to 1% by weight, the total sulfur content of said composition being 0.01 to 0.10% by weight. The present composition is excellent in stability, lubricity, compatibility with refrigerants, and low temperature property.
