← ScienceWhich outcome results when refrigerant leaks from a scroll chiller, allowing air to enter during phase change?
A)Reduced heat transfer efficiency✓
B)Increased compressor discharge pressure
C)Frozen evaporator coil formation
D)Lubricant oil breakdown and sludge
💡 Explanation
When refrigerant leaks, non-condensable air enters, raising the partial pressure and hindering efficient phase changes due to forming thermal boundary layers across heat exchanger, reducing overall capacity. Therefore heat transfer efficiency decreases, rather than higher discharge, freezing, or oil issues, which come from other faults.
