Which outcome occurs when the suction line check valve malfunctions in a scroll chiller's refrigerant pump?

A)Reduced chiller cooling capacity
B)Excessive compressor oil foaming
C)Increased evaporator superheat value
D)Decreased condenser subcooling level

💡 Explanation

Reduced chiller cooling capacity results because refrigerant backflow bypasses the intended evaporator circulation via the leaking check valve, causing inefficient vapour compression. Therefore, cooling is decreased rather than efficient heat transfer because correct phase change is circumvented.
