← TechnologyWhich risk notably increases when mineral oil contaminates chiller evaporators?
A)Decreased compressor motor efficiency
B)Refrigerant ineffective at heat absorbing✓
C)Increased coil corrosion potential
D)Freezing-point shift in the solution
💡 Explanation
Ineffective heat absorption occurs due to oil fouling where the mineral oil coats the evaporator surface and introduces a thermal resistance; because the oil diminishes the refrigerant's ability to vaporize, extracting latent heat and reducing overall cooling, therefore heat transfer drops, rather than corrosion increases.
