Which risk increases when refrigerant leaks from cooling systems?

💡 Explanation

System icing increases as refrigerant loss reduces vapor pressure, promoting moisture condensation and then "flash freezing" via the Joule-Thomson effect to form ice; because the moisture freezes at the expansion valve therefore icing, rather than pressure limits, drive this.
