Which outcome occurs when a refrigerant leak introduces non-condensable gases into a refrigeration system?

A)Increased compressor discharge temperatures
B)Reduced evaporator coil frosting
C)Elevated refrigerant subcooling
D)Decreased system power consumption

💡 Explanation

When non-condensable gases like air contaminate a refrigeration system, partial pressure increases, raising the condensing temperature; this then leads to increased compressor discharge temps and higher pressures because the compressor must now work harder. Therefore increased discharge temps happen, rather than frosting (which relates to defrost cycle), subcooling (which relates to refrigeration efficiency), or decreased power consumption (less work done).
