Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract A widely used hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerant HCFC‐22 in the split air conditioner (AC) is being phased out in all countries under the Montreal Protocol. Propane (HC‐290) is a favorable substitute for HCFC‐22. The performance, environment impact and cost‐benefit analysis of a split AC unit operated with HCFC‐22 and HC‐290 has been carried out experimentally under different test conditions prescribed by IS 1391. The results showed that the variation in system performance was more significant for HCFC‐22 than for that of HC‐290 while varying the refrigerant charge. The experienced optimum charges that represent the maximum coefficient of performance (COP) was varied with the working environment and it was realized that, generally the optimum charge for HC‐290 was 50% lesser than that of HCFC‐22. The COP of the AC unit with HC‐290 was observed to be 5% more than that of HCFC‐22. However, the system capacity diminished by 7.8%. The operation of a split AC unit with HC‐290 produced up to 15.9% lesser CO 2 emission than that of HCFC‐22 under all the test conditions. The use of HC‐290 in an existing HCFC‐22 split AC system can save up to 12.22% of the life time total cost. Finally, it was inferred that the replacement of HCFC‐22 with HC‐290 in the split AC unit showed dominance in all aspects such as performance, emission, and life time total cost.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
