← TechnologyWhich inefficiency increases when refrigerant leaks cause HVAC compressors to work beyond design limits?
A)Latent heat absorption decreases
B)Volumetric efficiency degrades rapidly✓
C)Condenser subcooling gets excessive
D)Superheat at evaporator drops sharply
💡 Explanation
The volumetric efficiency degrades because less refrigerant reaches peak compression reducing effective displacement and causing overheating; therefore, compressor works harder to compensate and moves gas inefficiently rather than achieving desired temperature difference at design limits.
