Which outcome occurs when excessive non-condensables accumulate in a heat pump system's condenser?

💡 Explanation

When non-condensables accumulate, the condensing pressure increases because the partial pressures of both refrigerant and non-condensables must be overcome, raising the compressor's pressure ratio. Therefore reduced capacity results, rather than valve damage, compressor lockup, or evaporator icing requiring alternative imbalances or mechanisms.
