In a refrigeration cycle using HFCs, which outcome results when compressor efficiency decreases?

💡 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.
