← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when refrigerant leaks from a closed-loop HVAC system into the evaporator?
A)Ice formation restricts airflow✓
B)Compressor overheating from back pressure
C)Thermal expansion valve malfunction
D)Condenser coil freeze because of expansion
💡 Explanation
When refrigerant leaks, the evaporator temperature drops below freezing level because of reduced pressure, causing condense to freeze on the coil, which acts as an insulator and restricts airflow. Therefore ice formation results, rather than overheating, malfunction or coil freeze, which occur due to different operational issues.
