← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid sublimation overwhelms a cryocooler?
A)Temperature undershoot below target range
B)Reduced cooling efficiency overall
C)Accelerated oxidation of cold surfaces
D)Uncontrolled temperature fluctuation excursions✓
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled temperature fluctuation excursions occur when rapid transitions in the sublimating material cause variable heat loads beyond the cryocooler's stability. Because the heat pump cannot regulate efficiently, it results in oscillation rather than improved oxidation resistance, therefore D, rather than other results.
