Which consequence results when rapid depressurization causes a liquid refrigerant to undergo a flash evaporation?

💡 Explanation

System efficiency decreases because the flash evaporation creates vapor within the throttling valve; this is an isenthalpic expansion which increases disorder, reducing available work and system efficiency. Therefore efficiency suffers, rather than causing motor burnout under normal conditions.
