← TechnologyWhich consequence results when superheated refrigerant enters a TXV?
A)Reduced evaporator cooling capacity✓
B)Increased compressor motor amperage
C)Stable, efficient heat exchange
D)Ice buildup on the evaporator
💡 Explanation
Reduced evaporator cooling capacity occurs because the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) attempts to modulate refrigerant flow based on superheat. If the superheat is already high, the valve may restrict flow further, therefore decreasing available refrigerant for evaporation rather than promoting optimal cooling.
