Which outcome increases when a refrigeration system uses blended refrigerants and experiences a leak?

💡 Explanation

When a blended refrigerant leaks, the various components evaporate at dissimilar rates due to differing boiling points causing fractionation and greater temperature glide during phase change because the composition changes with faster evaporation rates, creating non-equilibrium conditions. Higher temperature glide results, giving uneven cooling, rather than efficiency, oil fouling, or superheat, which are related to the mechanical functioning.
