Which operational risk increases when a positive displacement refrigerant pump experiences a significant liquid floodback?

💡 Explanation

When liquid floodback occurs, the refrigerant pump designed for vapor compression attempts to compress liquid, leading to high stress because the liquid is incompressible. Therefore valve plate cracking results, rather than lubrication problems, filter saturation or reduced heat transfer which involves other refrigerant cycle problems.
