Which outcome occurs when a refrigerant compressor undergoes excessive cycling?

A)Reduced overall system efficiency.
B)The condenser coil sub-cooling increases.
C)Evaporator capacity significantly increases
D)Superheat at the evaporator decreases

💡 Explanation

Repeated on/off triggers short-cycling, interrupting the vapor-compression refrigeration, which reduces efficient heat pump performance; short cycling wastes energy because the system fails to reach the compressor nominal operating temperature before shutting down, and therefore doesn't transfer heat efficiently, rather than a stable, longer cooling mode.
