Which outcome reduces a refrigeration system's efficiency when a non-condensable gas contaminates the refrigerant?

💡 Explanation

When non-condensable gases are present, reduced heat transfer occurs because they displace the refrigerant, raising discharge pressure & reducing condensation efficiency. Therefore elevated discharge temperature results, rather than increased superheat, decreased evaporator pressure or restricted oil pressure which exhibit different thermophysical behaviors.
