Which outcome occurs when a molecular sieve is saturated with adsorbate?

💡 Explanation

Adsorption reduces differential pressure because, when sorbent sites in the molecular sieve are filled via the adsorption mechanism, further adsorption decreases therefore slowing the evaporation; this leads to a refrigerant capacity decline, rather than changes in strength or conductivity which are driven by internal material properties.
