← ScienceWhich consequence impairs operational efficiency when refrigerants undergo condensation?
A)Decreased heat transfer coefficient✓
B)Increased compressor power consumption
C)Accumulation of non-condensable gases
D)Elevated discharge pressure risk
💡 Explanation
Decreased heat transfer occurs because liquid accumulates on surfaces, forming a thermal resistance layer. The mechanism is film condensation rather than a more effective drop-wise mode. Therefore, the heat exchange is hindered, rather than gases accumulating affecting pressure.
