Which outcome occurs when a compressor's discharge temperature unexpectedly spikes?

A)Lubricant viscosity experiences thermal breakdown
B)Reduced volumetric efficiency lowers coolant flow
C)Surge protection engages electrical shutdown
D)Increased stage efficiency stabilizes pressures

💡 Explanation

Lubricant breakdown occurs because increased temperature enhances its decomposition through increased reaction kinetics activating bond cleavages; elevated discharge temperature, therefore, causes thermal decomposition, rather than efficiency gains or electrical shutdown, under extreme conditions.
