← TechnologyWhich malfunction leads R-134a refrigerant to overheat excessively in scroll compressors?
A)Insufficient oil return to compressor✓
B)High superheat refrigerant entering TXV
C)Accumulator failure in the system
D)Crankcase heater electrical fault occurs
💡 Explanation
Excessive overheating happens because insufficient oil return impairs lubrication and heat transfer within the scroll compressor, forcing the vapour compression cycle to undergo *isentropic compression* to a greater extreme than it otherwise might. Therefore, A is correct; rather than issues caused by the TXV or auxiliary devices.
