← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapidly compressing refrigerant gas within a vapor-compression chiller unit?
A)Latent heat ejection via condensation✓
B)Isothermal expansion of the gas
C)Vapor phase transition to plasma
D)Eutectic mixture formation within coils
💡 Explanation
When rapidly compressing refrigerant, the increased potential energy of the gas molecules raises its temperature above the saturation point, leading to condensation which ejects latent heat. Therefore latent heat ejection via condensation results, rather than alternative isothermal expansion, plasma formation or mixture which require different conditions.
