← TechnologyWhich outcome results when refrigerant leaks near a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system's electronic expansion valve?
A)Suction line superheat greatly increases✓
B)Compressor discharge temperature decreases severely
C)Condenser subcooling remains nearly constant
D)Liquid line pressure reaches saturation point
💡 Explanation
Excessive superheat develops because the decreased refrigerant mass flow causes the hot gas bypass valve to modulate open, increasing suction line gas temperature to protect the compressor; therefore, superheat increases rather than subcooling staying constant with a higher mass flow of refrigerant.
