← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when glycol concentration decreases entering an evaporator coil?
A)Ice forms on the coil✓
B)Compressor motor overheats rapidly
C)Glycol pump seal degradation accelerates
D)System efficiency will surprisingly increase
💡 Explanation
Ice forms because the reduced glycol concentration raises the coolant's freezing point via freezing-point depression. This causes ice formation on the coil, therefore blocking airflow and reducing heat exchange, rather than enabling continued cooling at the design point.
