← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when ice obstructing a capillary tube?
A)Reduced cooling system efficiency✓
B)Increased compressor power consumption
C)Elevated refrigerant superheat temperature
D)Decreased evaporator coil temperature
💡 Explanation
Reduced cooling system efficiency results because ice formation causes a flow restriction; this induces adiabatic cooling, which lowers evaporator pressure/temperature, thus decreasing heat absorption. Therefore, system capacity decreases rather than increasing cooling, or consuming extra power directly through a blocked tube.
