← TechnologyWhich outcome increases when a refrigeration system uses blended refrigerants and experiences a leak?
A)Temperature glide during phase change✓
B)Compressor volumetric efficiency
C)Oil fouling within the evaporator
D)System superheat at the outlet
💡 Explanation
When a blended refrigerant leaks, the various components evaporate at dissimilar rates due to differing boiling points causing fractionation and greater temperature glide during phase change because the composition changes with faster evaporation rates, creating non-equilibrium conditions. Higher temperature glide results, giving uneven cooling, rather than efficiency, oil fouling, or superheat, which are related to the mechanical functioning.
