← ScienceWhich outcome results when an ammonia absorption chiller cycle has excessive non-condensable gases?
A)Increased evaporator heat transfer rate
B)Elevated generator operating pressure
C)Reduced coefficient of performance (COP)✓
D)Decreased solution pump power consumption
💡 Explanation
The COP decreases because non-condensables inhibit condensation via partial pressure effects. This introduces inefficiency in the heat rejection processes, therefore diminishing the cycle's performance rather than improving heat transfer or affecting pump power alone.
