← TechnologyWhich risk increases when halocarbon refrigerants degrade under intense UV exposure?
A)Accelerated corrosion of system components✓
B)Decreased coefficient of refrigerant's performance
C)Increased operational energy consumption slowly
D)Compromising structural rigidity and stability
💡 Explanation
Exposure can cleave carbon-halogen bonds, releasing highly reactive free radicals; this radical-induced chain scission drives corrosion, because fluorine and chlorine radicals aggressively attack metals within the refrigeration unit; therefore, corrosion increases, rather than energy use or performance changes in performance, which are much slower.
