Which outcome impairs a refrigeration cycle operating beyond coolant pressure ratings?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation occurs because liquid flashing causes vapor bubbles that collapse violently when pressure increases inside the pump; mechanical damage occurs rather than efficient pumping, therefore rejecting other thermal effects.
