Which risk increases when water enters the molecular sieve of a cryogenic air separation unit?

💡 Explanation

Adsorbent destruction occurs because ice formation within the sieve pores causes structural stress via volume expansion; this mechanism is called cryogenic fracturing. Therefore, bed cracking risk increases rather than mere component reduction because physical damage propagates within the molecular sieve.
