← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a refrigeration unit abruptly loses coolant?
A)Evaporator coils ice rapidly and unevenly✓
B)Compressor motor immediately overheats and fails
C)Condenser temperature will fall dramatically
D)System runs more efficiently temporarily
💡 Explanation
Ice forms because the Joule-Thomson effect causes rapid gas expansion cools the remaining moisture, solidifying it; therefore coils ice, as opposed to motor failure or continued cooling, rather than functioning normally.
