← ScienceWhich mechanism causes backpressure in a refrigeration cycle operating near a compressor's surge limit?
A)Vapor compression exceeds design pressure✓
B)Subcooling optimization improves liquid density
C)Superheating increases lubricating oil circulation
D)Condenser flooding reduces head pressure
💡 Explanation
Operating near the surge limit can cause excessive head pressure; Vapor compression increases rapidly because the inefficient operation generates excess heat, therefore leading to back-pressure, rather than improved performance from subcooling.
