← TechnologyWhich process determines heat pump effectiveness during defrost cycle?
A)Transient thermal conduction rates
B)Refrigerant migration and stratification✓
C)Compressor oil viscosity changes/foaming
D)Expansion valve thermal mass limitations
💡 Explanation
Refrigerant migration and stratification in the evaporator results in reduced heat transfer because liquid pools, thus decreasing evaporating surface area leading to lower delta T; therefore capacity drops, rather than limitations caused solely by conduction.
