Which outcome occurs when superheated refrigerant vapor leaks from an air conditioning system?

A)Reduced cooling capacity and efficiency
B)Increased compressor discharge temperature
C)Formation of ice within the evaporator coil
D)Elevated system pressure and power consumption

💡 Explanation

When superheated refrigerant leaks, the system refrigerant charge decreases and the remaining refrigerant becomes further superheated because of reduced mass flow across the evaporator resulting in lowered cooling capacity and efficiency. Therefore cooling decreases, versus other events that do not depend on reduced refrigerant charge.
