← TechnologyWhich issue results in centrifugal chiller pumps when refrigerant vaporizes pre-impeller?
A)Reduced volumetric efficiency occurs✓
B)Increased impeller bearing stress
C)Elevated motor winding temperatures
D)Harmonic resonance amplification emerges
💡 Explanation
Reduced volumetric efficiency results due to cavitation; vapor reduces liquid volume because the pump's suction pressure drops below refrigerant vapor pressure, therefore the pump moves less liquid coolant, rather than increasing stress or temperatures, affecting harmonic balance.
