Which risk notably increases when mineral oil contaminates chiller evaporators?

💡 Explanation

Ineffective heat absorption occurs due to oil fouling where the mineral oil coats the evaporator surface and introduces a thermal resistance; because the oil diminishes the refrigerant's ability to vaporize, extracting latent heat and reducing overall cooling, therefore heat transfer drops, rather than corrosion increases.
