Which outcome commonly occurs when refrigerant supply depletes in a two-stage vapor-compression refrigeration system?

💡 Explanation

Reduced refrigerant decreases suction pressure, causing flash gas formation and reducing mass flow through evaporators utilizing liquid-vapor phase change, therefore total heat absorbed declines, rather than increasing efficiency because compression is limited.
