← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when halide refrigerant reacts with moisture inside refrigeration system?
A)Compressor discharge valve corrosion✓
B)Expansion valve obstruction from wax
C)Capillary tube freezing by forming ice
D)Evaporator coil inefficiency from oil
💡 Explanation
When halide refrigerant reacts with moisture, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids form because of hydrolysis, leading to corrosion of metal components, especially hot compressor discharge valves. Therefore corrosion results, rather than wax, freezing, or oil inefficiency which depend on different contamination mechanisms and component vulnerabilities.
