← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a refrigeration system experiences slugging?
A)Compressor damage due to liquid incompressibility✓
B)Increased superheat improving cycle efficiency
C)Stable refrigerant flow avoids thermal shock
D)Evaporator flooding preventing subcooling issues
💡 Explanation
Compressor damage occurs due to liquid incompressibility because liquid refrigerant entering the compressor causes hydraulic lock, overcoming the valve's design limit; therefore, the compressor is damaged rather than increasing efficiency because the latent heat of vaporization is not used.
