Which outcome occurs when a refrigeration cycle leaks refrigerant, yet maintains power?

A)Compressor overheating becomes more likely
B)Evaporator pressure decreases insignificantly
C)System efficiency improves noticeably
D)Condenser operates above critical pressure

💡 Explanation

Reduced refrigerant causes decreased mass flow. With continued compressor operation performing Vapor compression refrigeration, the expansion of the compressor causes overheating, because it works harder on less mass; therefore the compressor overheats, rather than any beneficial efficiency changes.
