← TechnologyWhich consequence results when thermal expansion surpasses container mechanical limits within a sealed refrigerant cylinder?
A)Potential cylinder rupture or explosion✓
B)Refrigerant subcooling is drastically increased
C)Internal pressure sensor reading failure
D)Reduced refrigerant heat transfer rates
💡 Explanation
A cylinder rupture occurs because thermal expansion of the pressurized refrigerant increases internal pressure beyond the cylinder's yield strength, leading to catastrophic failure of the container; therefore a dangerous explosion results, rather than increased subcooling, or sensor failure under solely increased stress within design limits.
