Which outcome occurs when liquid refrigerant enters a positive displacement vapor compression pump in a refrigeration system?

💡 Explanation

When liquid refrigerant enters a vapor compression pump, hydraulic shock will occur because liquids are nearly incompressible thus abruptly stopping piston movement, damaging suction valves. Therefore suction valve damage will result, rather than issues with bearings, motor, or capacity all of which result from gradual processes.
