In a refrigeration cycle employing a capillary tube, which consequence results when liquid subcooling drops?

💡 Explanation

Decreased subcooling causes vapor formation before the capillary tube through the throttling process, which initiates a reduction in net refrigeration effect because only liquid refrigerant absorbs heat. Therefore, compressor superheat increases, rather than performance improving under different system conditions.
