← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs within an ammonia refrigeration system using a positive displacement pump when non-condensable gases accumulate?
A)Reduced cooling capacity and efficiency✓
B)Increased lubricant viscosity and pump wear
C)Expansion valve blockage from ice formation
D)Compressor overheating and potential seizure
💡 Explanation
When non-condensable gases accumulate, partial pressure of ammonia decreases because total pressure remains nearly constant, reducing the evaporator temperature, diminishing cooling capacity . Therefore system efficiency drops, rather than other effects requiring different refrigerant or mechanical imperfections.
