Which risk increases when throttling an industrial refrigeration cycle's evaporator?

A)Compressor overheating becomes likely
B)Refrigerant phase separation occurs
C)Glycol degradation is accelerated
D)Increased condenser fouling

💡 Explanation

Compressor overheating becomes a risk because throttling reduces the evaporator pressure; therefore, the compressor must work across a larger pressure ratio leading to higher discharge temperatures and thermal stress, rather than phase change issues or secondary fluid damage.
