← TechnologyWhich inefficiency arises when excessive superheat causes the TXV (Thermostatic Expansion Valve) in an evaporator to overfeed refrigerant?
A)Liquid slugging in the compressor✓
B)Reduced evaporator cooling capacity
C)Increased condensing unit subcooling
D)Frozen evaporator coil from icing
💡 Explanation
When excessive superheat leads the TXV to overfeed refrigerant, liquid refrigerant can enter the compressor because boiling is incomplete in the evaporator, causing liquid slugging. Therefore, slugging results, rather than reduced capacity which would stem from underfeeding, increased subcooling, or icing stemming from moisture buildup.
