← TechnologyWhich consequence results when vapor slugging occurs within a scroll compressor?
A)Reduced oil pump cavitation
B)Increased refrigerant subcooling
C)Discharge valve plate fracture✓
D)Evaporator coil ice formation
💡 Explanation
Discharge valve plate fracture transpires because liquid refrigerant entering the scroll compressor is incompressible, therefore, the non-condensable slugs cannot compress, resulting in extreme pressure spikes that fracture the valve, rather than normal refrigerant compression.
