← TechnologyWhich process compromises lubricant delivery inside reciprocating pumps in refrigeration units?
A)Vapor-lock induced oil starvation✓
B)Erosion from refrigerant impurities
C)Polymerization within the lubricant
D)Reverse osmosis removes additives
💡 Explanation
Refrigerant dissolved within lubricating oil can vaporize during low-pressure stages; this creates vapor-lock obstructing the oil pump because reduced density compromises its pumping ability, therefore lubricant starvation occurs rather than proper lubrication.
