← TechnologyWhich risk primarily increases when refrigerant R-410A leaks into a flame-heated residential furnace combustion chamber?
A)Formation of highly corrosive hydrofluoric acid✓
B)Decreased furnace efficiency via heat transfer coating
C)Overheating causing ignition of the filter material
D)Elevated carbon monoxide production
💡 Explanation
When R-410A contacts a flame, thermal decomposition occurs because high temperatures break down molecules releasing fluorine which rapidly reacts with water vapor in the combustion products, forming hydrofluoric acid, etching steel components. Therefore, corrosion escalates rather than filter ignition, monoxide increases, or efficiency reduction, involving distinct mechanisms.
