Abstract
Abstract A heat transfer composition comprising a heat transfer medium and a lubricant, wherein said heat transfer medium is a low boiling organic compound and wherein said lubricant is a halogenated polyoxyalkylene monoalcohol having the empirical structural formula: R.sub.1 X.sub.m (OR.sub.2).sub.n --OH wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from the group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an aryl group having from 6 to 18 carbon atoms, and combinations thereof, X is a halogen, m is an integer of between 1 and 37, and n is an integer from 5-350. Also claimed is the process for making the lubricant and the lubricant composition itself.
