Which consequence happens in a refrigeration compressor when liquid refrigerant enters?

A)Increased cooling during evaporation
B)Valve plate mechanical failure
C)Improved system energy efficiency
D)Lower discharge pipe temperature

💡 Explanation

Liquid refrigerant entering a compressor leads to valve plate mechanical failure because liquid is incompressible, therefore the valve plate buckles under hydraulic pressure, rather than experiencing normal compression of gas at design conditions.
