How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

To reduce the condensation pressure of the refrigerant in the summer, refrigeration system has been developed, in which, during periods of high air temperature, the heat of condensation is removed to the coolant, which was pre-cooled at night due to radiative cooling. A methodology has been developed for determining the main characteristics of the elements of the proposed system and calculating its daily energy consumption. The calculation shows that the proposed system with a nominal refrigerating capacity of 10 kW, using the R404a refrigerant, allows in the climate of the city of Shymkent to reduce the condensation temperature to +32.9°C, and daily energy consumption by 6.5% compared to an ordinary vapor compression refrigeration machine.
