← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a refrigeration system experiences evaporator superheat beyond design?
A)Compressor overheating and accelerated degradation✓
B)Refrigerant floods into the compressor
C)Decreased cooling capacity systemwide
D)Ice forms, thus blocking airflow
💡 Explanation
Compressor overheating arises because of the *decreased mass flow rate* of the now superheated refrigerant impacting cooler return temperature which should cool the compressor; therefore, the the unit overheats, rather than flood, resulting in lower delta-T, not ice.
