← ScienceWhich outcome arises when a refrigeration system loses refrigerant through pressure relief valves?
A)Reduced latent heat exchange✓
B)Increased condenser subcooling occurs
C)Lower evaporator superheat achieved
D)Greater compressor volumetric efficiency
💡 Explanation
Reduced refrigerant charge lowers evaporator pressure, decreasing the *enthalpy of vaporization*, thus reducing latent heat exchange because refrigerant evaporates at progressively lower temperatures. Therefore, the heat extraction rate drops, rather than increasing performance or heat transfer.
