← ScienceWhich risk increases when a refrigerator's compressor short cycles?
A)Reduced coil-fin heat transfer
B)Elevated refrigerant superheat variance
C)Increased compressor motor overheating✓
D)Decreased capillary tube wall stresses
💡 Explanation
Compressor short cycling increases the risk of motor overheating because the start winding experiences higher duty cycles, therefore heat builds up faster rather than dissipating efficiently during normal run intervals.
