Which process leads to a reduced cooling capacity when liquid refrigerant enters the compressor?

💡 Explanation

Refrigerant slugging causes damage because incompressible liquid entering the compressor prevents piston displacement; this is a consequence of excessive subcooling. Therefore, cooling capacity decreases substantially, rather than experiencing bearing wear, superheat instability, or oil problems. Refrigerant flooding also contributes during compressor’s startup.
