Which outcome occurs when a closed ammonia refrigeration system rapidly loses condenser cooling?

💡 Explanation

When condenser cooling is lost, the refrigerant can't fully transition to a liquid phase, increasing the high-side pressure because energy isn't dissipated. Therefore a high-pressure trip occurs, rather than overheating, frosting or blockage, which require alternative cooling mechanisms or fault modes.
