Evaporator frosting is a major issue in most small-capacity refrigeration applications, as it depletes the evaporator capacity and increases the compressor runtime needed to achieve the same refrigerating effect as under no-frost conditions.
“Evaporator frosting is a major issue in most small-capacity refrigeration applications, as it depletes the evaporator capacity, thus increasing the compressor runtime needed to accomplish the same refrigerating effect required under no-frost conditions (Bejan et al., 1994; Borges et al., 2014).”

Frost build-up requires longer compressor cycles, demanding a higher energy input, to accomplish the same cooling effect.
“thus requiring longer compressor cycles (demanding a higher energy input) to accomplish the same cooling effect [3].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
