← ScienceWhich risk increases when a refrigeration system undergoes flash vaporization?
A)Compressor damage from liquid inflow✓
B)Reduced heat transfer efficiency
C)Overheating of condenser components
D)Increased power consumption by evaporator
💡 Explanation
Compressor damage from liquid increases when flash vaporization emerges because incomplete evaporation leads to liquid entering the compressor. This phenomenon is named “ liquid floodback”. Therefore damage can occur due to the compressor’s inability to compress liquid, rather than the condenser overheating.
