Which inefficiency increases when refrigerant leaks cause HVAC compressors to work beyond design limits?

A)Latent heat absorption decreases
B)Volumetric efficiency degrades rapidly
C)Condenser subcooling gets excessive
D)Superheat at evaporator drops sharply

💡 Explanation

The volumetric efficiency degrades because less refrigerant reaches peak compression reducing effective displacement and causing overheating; therefore, compressor works harder to compensate and moves gas inefficiently rather than achieving desired temperature difference at design limits.
