← ScienceWhich consequence happens in a refrigeration compressor when liquid refrigerant enters?
A)Increased cooling during evaporation
B)Valve plate mechanical failure✓
C)Improved system energy efficiency
D)Lower discharge pipe temperature
💡 Explanation
Liquid refrigerant entering a compressor leads to valve plate mechanical failure because liquid is incompressible, therefore the valve plate buckles under hydraulic pressure, rather than experiencing normal compression of gas at design conditions.
