← TechnologyWhich behavior arises when a refrigeration system compressor experiences high superheat?
A)Decreased volumetric efficiency and overheating✓
B)Increased cooling capacity and reduced power
C)Liquid slugging in compressor cylinders
D)Reduced discharge pressure and motor torque
💡 Explanation
When the refrigerant superheat entering a compressor is excessively high, inefficient compression arises because greater volume is required for a given mass, and overheating risk increases given the elevated input temperature to the motor. Therefore volumetric efficiency decreases and overheating is promoted, rather than the alternatives associated with a normal or low superheat condition.
