Which outcome occurs when a refrigeration system experiences evaporator superheat beyond design?

A)Compressor overheating and accelerated degradation
B)Refrigerant floods into the compressor
C)Decreased cooling capacity systemwide
D)Ice forms, thus blocking airflow

💡 Explanation

Compressor overheating arises because of the *decreased mass flow rate* of the now superheated refrigerant impacting cooler return temperature which should cool the compressor; therefore, the the unit overheats, rather than flood, resulting in lower delta-T, not ice.
