Which outcome occurs when a chiller's refrigerant overcharge fills the condenser excessively?

A)Increased compressor motor current draw
B)Expansion valve starvation and overheating
C)Evaporator coil freezing with reduced load
D)Decreased subcooling with elevated pressure

💡 Explanation

When a chiller has excessive refrigerant, reduced condenser volume forces refrigerant back into the compressor, increasing the work needed for compression because of the higher density. Therefore, motor draw increases, rather than valve starvation, coil freezing, or subcooling decrease which occur with low refrigerant charge or other system issues.
