← ScienceWhich outcome results when exceeding a refrigeration cycle's maximum condenser temperature?
A)Compressor motor winding insulation fails✓
B)Refrigerant undergoes endothermic decomposition
C)Evaporator coil displays increased supercooling
D)Capillary tube causes increased subcooling
💡 Explanation
Elevated condenser temperature increases refrigerant pressure beyond the compressor's design limits; this overheats and degrades the motor windings by breakdown of their insulation, because dielectric breakdown occurs. Therefore the insulation wears, rather than alternative phenomena at the evaporator or capillary.
