Which risk increases rapidly when the refrigerant phase transition within a chiller compressor fails?

A)Reduced volumetric efficiency
B)Excessive motor amperage
C)Elevated discharge temperature
D)Increased compressor fouling

💡 Explanation

Elevated discharge temperature will occur because there is incomplete vaporisation; Latent Heat Transfer is reduced, therefore superheating increases rather than volumetric efficiency dropping. Compressor overheating causes eventual failure as temperatures rise.
