Which outcome occurs when synthetic refrigerants leak extensively in HVAC systems without proper oil return?

💡 Explanation

When refrigerants leak without oil return, oil accumulates within cooler parts forming a layer because oil gets carried by refrigerant flow, compromising heat transfer from the compressor. Therefore, compressor overheating occurs, rather than icing, valve failure, or expansion blockage, processes requiring separate causes.
