Which outcome occurs downstream in refrigeration system when expansion valve malfunctions, excessively releasing refrigerant?

💡 Explanation

When the expansion valve releases too much refrigerant, higher flow leads to liquid entering the compressor, causing dilution of lubricating oil and increased superheat because limited latent heat absorption occurs. Therefore accelerated compressor wear result, rather than icing, increased subcooling or pressure stabilization which derive from other factors.
