← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a refrigeration cycle uses a refrigerant with high global warming potential after leakage?
A)Increased atmospheric radiative forcing✓
B)Decreased compressor motor efficiency
C)Elevated evaporator coil formation rate
D)Reduced condenser heat transfer capacity
💡 Explanation
When a refrigerant with a high global warming potential leaks, enhanced infrared absorption occurs because the molecules trap heat in the atmosphere, significantly increasing the Earth's radiative forcing. Therefore, increased atmospheric radiative forcing results, rather than affecting compressor efficiency, evaporator formation, or condenser capacity directly, mechanisms governed by different physical processes.
