← TechnologyWhich risk significantly elevates when isobutane leaks next to HVAC compressor?
A)Compressor oil viscosity decreases rapidly
B)Refrigerant thermal breakdown accelerates quickly
C)Explosive vapor cloud formation occurs✓
D)Internal component vibrational resonance begins
💡 Explanation
Leak of isobutane refrigerant concentrates and ignites forming a large vapor which is caused by a lower ignition energy leading to quick combustion reactions; because hydrocarbon refrigerants are flammable, explosive vapor cloud development occurs surrounding HVAC compressor apparatus, therefore combustion occurs rather than other gradual pressure decreases.
