Which outcome occurs when the evaporator in an absorption chiller experiences crystallization of lithium bromide?

A)Reduced cooling output due to flow blockage
B)Increased chiller efficiency from refrigerant subcooling
C)Higher compressor discharge pressure from increased load
D)Lower solution pump speed from decreased viscosity

💡 Explanation

When lithium bromide crystallizes in the evaporator, flow channels become blocked because solubility decreases with temp changes in the solution, reducing the amount of refrigerant vapor produced. Therefore, cooling output is reduced, rather than increased efficiency, higher discharge pressure, or lower pump speed, which require different mechanisms.
