Which outcome would result following catastrophic fragmentation of centrifugal chiller's refrigerant compressor with R-134a?

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic fragmentation releases refrigerant rapidly and since R-134a is heavier than air, it creates a local high concentration, displacing oxygen and presenting an asphyxiation hazard. Rapid release leads to oxygen displacement, rather than phosgene formation, oil entrainment or flammability which are associated with different refrigerants or contaminants.
