Which risk escalates when using R-410A in a flooded evaporator?

💡 Explanation

Lubricant oil dilution increases rapidly because R-410A’s high density causes poor oil return in flooded evaporators; the high mass flow rate through the evaporator further hinders proper oil separation, therefore the bearings may be damaged rather than lubricated, causing eventual compressor failure.
