← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs with scroll compressor when non-condensable gases contaminate refrigerant?
A)Reduced net cooling capacity✓
B)Increased oil degradation rate
C)Elevated bearing wear levels
D)Surge event induced vibrations
💡 Explanation
When non-condensable gases are present, the partial pressure of refrigerant decreases, reducing the pressure differential, because contaminants occupy volume restricting the flow. Therefore, cooling capacity decreases, rather than increased oil degradation, bearing wear, or vibrations which relate to inadequate lubrication mechanics or flow instabilities.
