← TechnologyWhich outcome happens when a refrigeration system compressor overheats due to insufficient desuperheating?
A)Refrigerant breakdown forming acids✓
B)Ice buildup on the expansion valve
C)Reduced cooling capacity from floodback
D)Increased power consumption via short cycle
💡 Explanation
When a refrigeration compressor overheats, refrigerant reaches excessively high temperatures due to lack of desuperheating, it breaks down chemically forming acids causing corrosion. Therefore refrigerant breakdown occurs, rather than ice buildup, capacity reduction, or increased power, which arise from alternate issues.
