← TechnologyIn an air-source heat pump, which outcome occurs when increasing evaporator frosting during winter?
A)Reduced heat transfer efficiency✓
B)Increased refrigerant subcooling rate
C)Optimal compressor superheat gains
D)Better internal lubricant flow
💡 Explanation
Icing on the evaporator coil induces lower surface heat transfer because it introduces additional thermal resistance through the **thermal conduction** mechanism, therefore reduces heat absorption, rather than aiding heat transfer; other options concern fluid states.
