Abstract
The Montreal Protocol regulates the uses of ozone depletion substances (ODSs). In the developed countries, the phaseout of high ozone depletion potential (ODP) CFCs in rigid foam applications was made possible with the introduction of lower ODP HCFCs. HCFC-141b was chosen as an excellent replacement for CFC-11 in many rigid foam applications. HCFC-141b blown rigid foams offer excellent thermal insulation, fire resistance and dimensional stability. According to the Montreal Protocol, HCFC-141b will eventually be phased out. Lower ODP HCFCs (i.e., HCFC-142b and HCFC-22), zero ODP HFCs and hydrocarbons are considered to be alternatives. Unfortunately, neither HFCs nor pentanes can match performance and cost of HCFCs. An HFC and pentane(s) coblowing system can potentially offer some advantages over purely pentane blown foams including lower foam density (therefore lower cost), better thermal insulation and better fire performance than purely pentane(s) blown foams. The coblown foam has lower cost than HFC blown foams. In this study, we choose HFC-134a, a commercially available blowing agent, as a coblowing agent with pentane(s). We make polyisocyanurate (PIR) foams with HFC-134a as a coblowing agent with n-C5, i-C5, i-C5/c-C5, and the levels of HFC-134a are 10 and 20 mole%. We determine thermal conductivity (or k-factor) of foams from −8 to 40 °C. The results show that the effects of HFC-134a on the low temperature k-factors are different, depending on the pentane isomers. Furthermore, we screen a series of surfactants to determine their effects on the k-factors.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
