← TechnologyWhich phenomenon accelerates equipment corrosion when refrigerant decomposes?
A)Formation of hydrofluoric acid✓
B)Phase separation of additives
C)Polymerization within the lubricant
D)Excessive oil viscosity increase
💡 Explanation
Hydrofluoric acid significantly accelerates corrosion because refrigerant breakdown releases fluoride ions leading to its formation via hydrolysis; therefore, equipment degrades because of acid, rather than additive separation which causes reduced efficiency.
