← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs affecting chiller efficiency when superheated refrigerant vapor encounters an oil film deposition on the condenser coils?
A)Reduced heat transfer capability✓
B)Increased compressor motor lifespan
C)Enhanced liquid subcooling effects
D)Elevated refrigerant condensation pressure
💡 Explanation
Reduced heat transfer results because oil fouling introduces thermal resistance. Film condensation hampers the **thermal boundary layer** due to insulating properties of oil, therefore decreasing heat rejection, rather than aiding it. This wastes energy and increases cooling costs.
