Which process causes a decline in window air conditioner cooling capacity when refrigerant leaks?

💡 Explanation

As refrigerant leaks, the thermal heat absorption diminishes leading to decreasing its latent heat absorption since less refrigerant is available to changing its physical state into vapor within the evaporate coil, thus reducing overall cooling effectiveness. Instead of only latent heat is transferred, sensible heat now has to also aid in change of state. Therefore reduction in latent heat absorption yields the highest effect from this consequence rather than the alternates listed.
