Which consequence results inside a refrigeration cycle when compressor overheating causes lubricant breakdown?

A)Reduced heat exchanger surface area
B)Decreased system coefficient of performance
C)Increased refrigerant subcooling temperature
D)Enhanced evaporator coil moisture removal

💡 Explanation

Compressor overheating causes lubricant breakdown which prompts increased friction and declining compression efficiency. This lowers the system's cooling capacity because the COP declines rather than remaining stable, therefore the intended cooling weakens rather than improves.
