Which outcome occurs when the evaporator coil in an industrial chiller plant develops ice buildup?

💡 Explanation

When ice builds up on the evaporator coil within an industrial chiller, thermal insulation occurs because ice impedes heat transfer efficiency from theProcess fluid to the refrigerant. Therefore cooling capacity decreases, rather than changes to power, head pressure, or gauge readings, which relate to compressive or blockage failures.
