Which operational risk increases when a refrigeration system's superheat is set too low?

A)Compressor damage from liquid slugging
B)Reduced efficiency from evaporator flooding
C)Increased load from condenser back-pressure
D)Oil breakdown from excessive temperatures

💡 Explanation

When superheat is set too low, liquid refrigerant reaches the compressor because insufficient heat has been absorbed, resulting in liquid slugging and potentially damaging the compressor's valves and pistons. Therefore compressor damage results, rather than efficiency losses, increased load, or oil breakdown, which stem from disparate issues.
