Which outcome results when an ammonia absorption chiller cycle has excessive non-condensable gases?

💡 Explanation

The COP decreases because non-condensables inhibit condensation via partial pressure effects. This introduces inefficiency in the heat rejection processes, therefore diminishing the cycle's performance rather than improving heat transfer or affecting pump power alone.
