Which outcome dominates when heat leakage bypasses refrigeration cycles?

💡 Explanation

Reduced COP occurs because heat leakage introduces parasitic heat that disrupts the intended cooling effect; this bypasses isentropic expansion. Therefore, the performance decreases rather than pressure increasing or frost decreasing, because additional energy is consumed to overcome the heat leakage.
