Which risk increases when a refrigeration cycle's compressor experiences excessive superheat?

💡 Explanation

Degradation of the refrigerant's thermal stability occurs due to overheating of discharged compressed gas above its design limits by inefficient heat removal, because excessive superheat promotes undesirable chemical reactions of the refrigerant. Therefore, higher operating temperatures degrade the lubricant rather than increasing expansion valve efficiency.
