Which risk increases when variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems experience excessive runtime?

💡 Explanation

Excessive runtime in VRF systems causes overheating, accelerating compressor oil viscosity degradation because the oil is exposed to extreme temperature for extended periods. This reduces lubrication effectiveness; therefore leading to mechanical failures in the compressor, rather than other component failures.
