Which outcome occurs when vapor accumulates in a centrifugal pump designed for an ammonia refrigeration system?

💡 Explanation

Head pressure declines because vapor accumulation leads to impeller cavitation within the pump; as vapor bubbles form and collapse, they disrupt the fluid flow and reduce pumping efficiency thereby reducing head output, rather than resulting in motor overheating or increased lubrication.
