← TechnologyWhich outcome would result following catastrophic fragmentation of centrifugal chiller's refrigerant compressor with R-134a?
A)Rapid release causing oxygen displacement✓
B)Formation of phosgene by thermal decomposition
C)Entrainment of oil into gas pipelines
D)Flammable vapor cloud deflagration
💡 Explanation
Catastrophic fragmentation releases refrigerant rapidly and since R-134a is heavier than air, it creates a local high concentration, displacing oxygen and presenting an asphyxiation hazard. Rapid release leads to oxygen displacement, rather than phosgene formation, oil entrainment or flammability which are associated with different refrigerants or contaminants.
