Which outcome results when thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) malfunctions in refrigeration system evaporator coils?

💡 Explanation

When a TXV fails open, excessive refrigerant enters the evaporator, because pressure regulation fails, leading to liquid refrigerant entering the compressor ('liquid slugging') and damaging it. Therefore compressor failure results, rather than overheating, freezing, or saturation, which require different refrigerant metering or external pressure issues.
