In Conference hall there are many no of occupants along with certain actions is
given as follows:

Total No of occupants: 59 (seated at rest) + 1 (light work)

So, Total number of occupants per day is 60.

Comparison with present situation:

Practically, The cooling load of Conference room is 11 tonnes of refrigeration

and theoretically it is 10.7TR.
Comparison between R22 and R410a:

Temperature difference consider as 10 oC in condenser and evaporator.

Evaporator temperature = 5 oC

Condenser temperature = 47 oC

Commands:
In the same system mass flow rate of refrigerant and Compressor work of R140a
is increased. So R140a requires additional stage of compression.

R140a system operates more efficiently reducing wear and tear on the compressor.
The overall global warming potential with R410a will be decrease because of as
higher efficiency reducing power plant emissions.
