Which outcome occurs during a refrigeration cycle compressor failure caused by liquid floodback?

A)Bearing damage due to oil washout
B)Reduced superheat from evaporator
C)Increased subcooling from condenser
D)Elevated discharge pressure and temperature

💡 Explanation

When liquid floodback occurs in a refrigeration cycle, liquid refrigerant enters the compressor causing oil dilution because liquid refrigerant washes away the lubricant, leading to bearing damage. Therefore, bearing damage due to oil washout is the result, rather than the other options that involve different component failures or system imbalances.
