Which outcome occurs when a refrigeration cycle runs dry?

💡 Explanation

Compressor overheat occurs when a refrigeration cycle goes dry because the phase transition of the refrigerant removes heat from the compressor. A lack of refrigerant means latent heat is not absorbed, therefore, the compressor overheats, rather than cooling efficiently or simply losing capacity.
