Which outcome occurs when a refrigeration system loses refrigerant causing liquid to vapor phase change prior to expansion?

A)Reduced cooling capacity occurs
B)Increased compressor efficiency arises
C)Lower superheat temperature results
D)Iced evaporator coils appear

💡 Explanation

Reduced cooling capacity results because of decreased enthalpy of Vaporization is available; the liquid's early conversion reduces effectiveness, hence the expansion valve can't drop the pressure efficiently because gaseous refrigerant volume increases, rather than providing cooling like a liquid phase would.
