← ScienceWhich outcome limits the efficiency of vapor-compression refrigeration cycle at high condensing temperatures?
A)Increased compressor power consumption✓
B)Reduced evaporator heat transfer rate
C)Higher refrigerant leakage through seals
D)Liquid refrigerant flooding to compressor
💡 Explanation
At high condensing temperatures, compression ratio increases, which means more work input is requires from the compressor because of thermodynamic inefficiencies, affecting the overall refrigeration cycle efficiency. Higher compressor power consumption results, rather than reduced cooling due to lower heat transfer or mechanical integrity compromising the system.
