← ScienceWhich outcome results in a refrigeration compressor when superheated discharge causes excessive thermal load?
A)Increased refrigerant subcooling occurs rapidly
B)Decreased thermal expansion valve efficiency
C)Lubricant breakdown and bearing failure✓
D)Evaporator coil forms excessive ice
💡 Explanation
Lubricant breakdwon occurs by oxidation because excessively high temperatures degrade the oil's viscosity by thermocracking causing it to lose lubricating properties; therefore bearing failures form, rather than expansion valve efficiency which occurs in different refrigeration conditions.
