Technology

Which consequence results when a refrigeration system's compressor overheats and introduces mineral oil breaking down the refrigerant?

A)Increased compressor motor insulation efficacy
B)Optimal heat transfer efficiency
C)Acid formation and corrosion
D)Enhanced refrigerant subcooling

💡 Explanation

Overheating causes refrigerant breakdown, leading to the chemical reaction of chlorine with oil, which generates hydrochloric acid via acid hydrolysis; therefore corrosion occurs, rather than just insulation failure, because acid formation affects metal components.
