Which risk increases when halocarbon refrigerants degrade under intense UV exposure?

A)Accelerated corrosion of system components
B)Decreased coefficient of refrigerant's performance
C)Increased operational energy consumption slowly
D)Compromising structural rigidity and stability

💡 Explanation

Exposure can cleave carbon-halogen bonds, releasing highly reactive free radicals; this radical-induced chain scission drives corrosion, because fluorine and chlorine radicals aggressively attack metals within the refrigeration unit; therefore, corrosion increases, rather than energy use or performance changes in performance, which are much slower.
