Which outcome occurs when a refrigeration compressor exceeds thermal limits?

A)Lubricant breakdown affects bearing lubrication
B)Motor efficiency decreases substantially
C)Refrigerant leaks increase by orders
D)Volumetric cooling capacity reaches ideal limit

💡 Explanation

Lubricant breakdown occurs because thermal decomposition accelerates at high temperatures via the Arrhenius equation; this impairs lubrication. Therefore, bearings fail prematurely rather than achieving optimal cooling, reduced motor efficiency, or acceptable leakage, due to the compromised lubrication.
