Which outcome arises when a refrigeration system's condenser fails to reject heat effectively?

💡 Explanation

When heat rejection is impaired, refrigerant accumulates in the condenser at a high temperature and pressure because the phase change from gas to liquid is incomplete. Therefore elevated compressor discharge pressure will result, rather than reduced evaporator temperature, decreased superheat, or higher efficiency, linked to failures in other system components.
