Which outcome occurs when a refrigeration system experiences slugging?

💡 Explanation

Compressor damage occurs due to liquid incompressibility because liquid refrigerant entering the compressor causes hydraulic lock, overcoming the valve's design limit; therefore, the compressor is damaged rather than increasing efficiency because the latent heat of vaporization is not used.
