Which 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.
