Which event leads to thermal stress within an evaporator core?

💡 Explanation

Liquid slugging introduces unevaporated liquid refrigerant, which creates rapid temperature changes and stresses the core due to thermal shock; because the cold liquid flashes rather than gradually boils, thermal gradients are high, therefore mechanical strain increases rather than gradually decreasing.
