In a refrigeration system employing R-134a, which consequence results when the compressor discharge overheats due to low evaporator pressure?

💡 Explanation

Extreme superheat will cause oil thinning. Because the oil's viscosity decreases due to exceeding its temperature limit, it cannot properly lubricate, therefore increased wear occurs rather than unaffected superheat or increased system capacity by decreased subcooling.
