Which safety concern in industrial chillers rises due to prolonged atmospheric refrigerant leaks?

💡 Explanation

Compressor oil acidification risk increases due to refrigerant hydrolysis introducing acids via the reverse Brayton cycle. Because moisture reacts with the refrigerant, acidification occurs, therefore compromising lubricant properties rather than causing immediate thermal issues in heat exchangers.
