Which outcome occurs when a refrigeration system uses two refrigerants forming an azeotropic mixture?

💡 Explanation

When an azeotropic refrigerant mixture exists, the components evaporate/condense at the same temperature and composition in the absence of leaks, and the phase change occurs without a temperature glide benefiting to transfer heat more efficiently since temperature stays close and heat losses are minimal. Hence a boost to the refrigeration system is observed, rather than temperature glide, high pressure, or reduced capacity that would occur with zeotropic or non-ideal mixtures.
