← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a refrigeration cycle runs dry?
A)Compressor overheating and eventual failure✓
B)Increased efficiency and lower power usage
C)Stable operation at reduced cooling capacity
D)Phase transition back to initial refrigerant
💡 Explanation
Compressor overheat occurs when a refrigeration cycle goes dry because the phase transition of the refrigerant removes heat from the compressor. A lack of refrigerant means latent heat is not absorbed, therefore, the compressor overheats, rather than cooling efficiently or simply losing capacity.
