← TechnologyWhich risk disproportionately escalates when a halocarbon refrigerant leaks into moist air?
A)Compressor oil acidification increases sharply✓
B)Thermal expansion cycle loses efficiency
C)System pressure relief valve corrosion speeds
D)Evaporator coil brittleness rises notably
💡 Explanation
Compressor oil acidification drastically increases because halocarbon refrigerants react with moisture to form hydrofluoric or hydrochloric acids via hydrolysis. Therefore, this effect is exacerbated, rather than the other failure modes related to pressure or specific component wear.
