← TechnologyWhich behavior causes diminished cooling when a refrigeration system experiences oil logging?
A)Decreased refrigerant latent heat transfer✓
B)Increased compressor discharge temperature
C)Improper expansion-valve superheat control
D)Condenser subcooling capacity degradation
💡 Explanation
Oil logging reduces cooling because oil collects in the evaporator; the resultant oil fouling forms an insulating layer that impedes the refrigerant's latent heat transfer. Therefore, less heat is absorbed, rather than temperature increases from compression or altered expansion-valve control.
