Technology

Which risk increases when refrigerant flow bottlenecks within the evaporator of a cryogenic cooling system?

A)Bearing lubricant thermal decomposition
B)Compressor motor electrical arcing
C)Decreased expansion turbine efficiency
D)Increased internal turbine wear

💡 Explanation

Reduced vaporization due to flow restrictions causes higher liquid fraction entering the expansion turbine; this decreases isentropic efficiency because the turbine struggles efficiently to expand liquid, therefore turbine performance degrades sharply rather than electrical or lubrication damages.
