← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a chiller unit loses refrigerant?
A)Icing of the evaporator core✓
B)Cavitation within the compressor
C)Increased condenser subcooling occurs
D)Compressor bearing lubrication improves
💡 Explanation
Icing occurs because refrigerant loss reduces the evaporator pressure; this causes adiabatic cooling and water vapor **deposition**, therefore ice accumulates rather than heat absorption occurring; subcooling would decrease with refrigerant loss.
