← TechnologyWhich outcome increases from refrigerant overcharging in a closed-loop heat pump system?
A)Compressor motor winding temperature✓
B)Evaporator coil freezing temperature
C)Expansion valve superheat capacity
D)Condenser subcooling effectiveness
💡 Explanation
When overcharged, refrigerant causes higher pressures, increasing the compression ratio thus increasing stress on the compressor, thus resulting in higher motor load and subsequent winding temperature. Therefore the compressor motor winding temperature risess, rather than coil temperatures or valve capacity which each involve different limitations.
