← TechnologyWhich risk increases when operating an air-source heat pump evaporator at low frost?
A)Compressor oil dilution occurs✓
B)Increased refrigerant subcooling occurs
C)Expansion valve hunting reduced
D)Condenser coil heat rejection improves
💡 Explanation
Low frost conditions restrict airflow, causing poor evaporator performance; as a result, liquid refrigerant floods back to the compressor, enabling oil dilution because the latent heat transfer is impaired therefore reducing lubrication rather than improving evaporator efficiency.
