Which outcome occurs when refrigerant leaks from a refrigeration system into surrounding air, decreasing system pressure?

💡 Explanation

When refrigerant leaks decreasing pressure, adiabatic expansion happens when the gas exits, causing intermolecular forces to decrease the temperature, leading to frost formation by the Joule-Thomson effect if the temperature nears dew point. Therefore frost forms, rather than oil breakdown, floodback, or improved efficiency which result from abnormal temperatures or liquid behavior inside the system.
