Technology

Which outcome arises from sustained operation of a refrigeration system with non-condensable gases mixed in the refrigerant?

A)Increased energy consumption and reduced capacity
B)Refrigerant overcharge indication sensor bypass
C)Compressor damage from lubricant breakdown
D)Evaporator coil blockages due to expansion

💡 Explanation

When non-condensable gases mix with the refrigerant, partial pressure increases inside the condenser because these gases do not condense, reducing heat transfer efficiency and raising condensing temperature. Therefore, energy consumption increases and cooling capacity declines, rather than sensor bypass,compressor damage, or coil blockages which require entirely different malfunctions.
