← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when differential expansion binds thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) needle within an evaporator system?
A)Evaporator coil icing from constant flooding✓
B)Compressor damage from liquid slugging
C)Reduced cooling capacity from refrigerant bypass
D)Increased superheat due to refrigerant starvation
💡 Explanation
When TXV needle within the evaporator binds, continuous refrigerant flooding happens because the cooling load cannot modulate refrigerant flow, creating ice accumulation on its surface. Therefore, evaporator coil icing is the likely outcome, rather than slugging, bypass, or starvation which typically arise from undercharge or compressor failure.
