Why does soot accumulation on the inside of the heat exchanger reduce system efficiency?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Why do both the compression cycle and absorption cycle have a high pressure side and a low pressure side?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Because the soot acts like an insulator on the inside of the heat exchanger.

Answer to Question 2

The low pressure side allows refrigerant to boil at a temperature below the temperature of the space being cooled, absorbing heat. The high side pressure allows the refrigerant to condense at a temperature higher than the outdoor temperature, releasing heat.
