Which 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.
