← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when heat exchanger fins in HVAC system become fouled with dust?
A)Increased compressor superheat temperature✓
B)Decreased evaporator saturation pressure
C)Elevated refrigerant subcooling percentage
D)Increased condenser fan motor amperage
💡 Explanation
When heat exchanger fins are fouled, heat transfer decreases due to increased thermal resistance, causing higher refrigerant temperatures at the compressor suction because less heat is absorbed from the air. Therefore increased superheat results, not decreased pressure, increased subcooling, or fan amperage which relate to different heat transfer deficiencies.
