← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when centrifugal chiller pump speed decreases below a critical threshold?
A)System efficiency drops significantly✓
B)Refrigerant over-compression may occur
C)Heat transfer rates accelerate rapidly
D)Vapor-lock becomes increasingly probable
💡 Explanation
System efficiency plummets because reduced pump speed impacts refrigerant flow, diminishing the evaporator's heat exchange capacity through decreased fluid residence time. Therefore, efficiency drops, rather than over-compression occuring; heat transfer rates would slow.
