In a chiller system, which malfunction increases when liquid refrigerant floods back toward the compressor through the evaporator?

💡 Explanation

Compressor oil washout increases because liquid refrigerant arriving at the compressor causes the oil to dilute via a solvent action, a state of high miscibility, resulting in reduced lubrication; therefore, oil starvation occurs, rather than evaporator freezing which requires different conditions.
