← TechnologyWhich outcome commonly occurs during an adiabatic compressor stall?
A)Surge induces destructive thermal cycling✓
B)Reduced mass accelerates refrigerant leakage
C)Increased charge improves lubrication efficiency
D)Uniform heat extraction ensures efficiency
💡 Explanation
Compressor stall induces pressure wave surges, meaning the working fluid rapidly compresses and expands. The **adiabatic process** causes rapid, localized heating during compression, because any heat generated cannot be dissipated quickly enough; therefore repeated surge cycles leading destructive fatigue, rather than efficiency gains or mass reduction.
