← TechnologyWhich operational problem is caused when refrigerants accumulate excessive oil within an evaporator core?
A)Reduction in overall cooling capacity✓
B)Compressor motor winding overheating
C)Increased system pressure within condenser
D)Formation of ice crystals blocking expansion valve
💡 Explanation
When excessive oil accumulates in the evaporator core of a refrigeration system, it coats the internal surfaces because of its higher viscosity, impeding heat transfer and reducing the available surface area for refrigerant evaporation. Therefore a reduced cooling capacity results, rather than motor overheating, increased pressure or icing which result from different faults.
