← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a refrigerant pump experiences rapid cycling within a heat pump system?
A)Compressor damage from liquid slugging✓
B)Evaporator icing due to reduced superheat
C)Expansion valve failure from pressure surges
D)Refrigerant degradation from overheating
💡 Explanation
When a refrigerant pump cycles rapidly, lubrication can be disrupted, leading to liquid refrigerant entering the compressor cylinder (liquid slugging). Therefore compressor damage results when liquid slugging occurs, rather than evaporator icing, expansion valve failure, or refrigerant degradation which stem from distinct mechanisms and conditions.
