← TechnologyWhich risk increases when the cooling load on a chiller causes prolonged low refrigerant flow rates?
A)Compressor motor winding overheating✓
B)Increase in superheat temperature
C)Oil dilution within the system
D)Refrigerant subcooling maximization
💡 Explanation
Prolonged inadequate refrigerant flow leads to reduced heat removal from the compressor motor via the refrigerant; the increased resistance heats the windings above the insulation limit because the forced convection decreases, therefore winding failure is increasingly likely, rather than improved subcooling or dilution.
