← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when the evaporator coil in an industrial chiller plant develops ice buildup?
A)Reduced cooling capacity due to insulation✓
B)Increased compressor power consumption
C)Elevated chiller system head pressure
D)Refrigerant overcharge indicated on gauges
💡 Explanation
When ice builds up on the evaporator coil within an industrial chiller, thermal insulation occurs because ice impedes heat transfer efficiency from theProcess fluid to the refrigerant. Therefore cooling capacity decreases, rather than changes to power, head pressure, or gauge readings, which relate to compressive or blockage failures.
