← TechnologyWhich outcome results when a refrigeration system uses a refrigerant with larger molecule size?
A)Decreased compressor volumetric efficiency✓
B)Increased evaporator superheat temperature
C)Elevated condenser subcooling capacity
D)Reduced expansion valve pressure drop
💡 Explanation
When refrigerant uses larger molecule size, decreased volumetric efficiency occurs inside the compressor because larger molecules impede effective gas intake, reducing refrigerant mass flow rate for a given volume swept. Therefore, decreased volumetric efficiency results, rather than temperature increases, subcooling improvement, or pressure drop reduction which dependent on other effects.
