← ScienceIn a refrigeration cycle using HFCs, which outcome results when compressor efficiency decreases?
A)Reduced cooling capacity at the evaporator✓
B)Increased effectiveness of the expansion valve
C)Higher superheat temperature at compressor inlet
D)Decreased refrigerant subcooling after condenser
💡 Explanation
Reduced compressor efficiency decreases refrigerant flow and pressure because less work is being imparted per cycle; therefore the cooling capacity is reduced, rather than increased subcooling or valve effectiveness, because it diminishes the amount of heat extracted.
