← TechnologyWhich phenomenon arises when R-134a refrigerant leaks from a refrigeration system that includes moisture?
A)System acidification from refrigerant hydrolysis✓
B)Compressor friction rise from oil dilution
C)Condenser blockage from wax precipitation
D)Evaporator inefficiency from ice formation
💡 Explanation
When R-134a refrigerant leaks with moisture present, hydrolysis occurs because R-134a reacts with water to form hydrofluoric acid, leading to acidification of the system. Therefore system acidification occurs, rather than oil dilution, wax precipitation, or ice formation that necessitate other conditions/contaminants.
