Which risk increases with a poorly insulated refrigeration system operating in humid conditions?

💡 Explanation

When insulation is poor and humidity is high, increased heat transfer occurs because the temperature difference between the evaporator and ambient combined with moisture condensation raises the evaporator temperature thereby decreasing its ability to absorb heat. Therefore evaporator inefficiency increases, rather than freezing, compressor failure, or valve blockage which depend on other mechanisms.
