← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a refrigeration cycle compressor leaks high-pressure refrigerant into the evaporator?
A)Reduced evaporator temperature difference✓
B)Increased power consumption and efficiency
C)Decreased compressor motor lifespan
D)Ice formation obstructing airflow
💡 Explanation
When high-pressure refrigerant leaks into the evaporator, partial pressure increases because the evaporator now contains hot refrigerant, reducing the pressure difference driving evaporation and thus cooling capacity. Therefore, a reduced temperature difference results, rather than increased efficiency, or decreased lifespan or ice formation which require inefficiencies or humidity.
