← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a refrigeration system's condenser fan fails in a high ambient temperature environment?
A)Compressor motor thermal overload✓
B)Evaporator coil ice formation
C)Refrigerant line pressure reduction
D)Expansion valve metering instability
💡 Explanation
When the condenser fan fails, heat rejection from the refrigerant slows, raising the discharge pressure and temperature, which the compressor needs to work harder against and draws high current, leading to a motor thermal overload. Therefore motor overload results, rather than icing, lower pressure, or valve instability, which stem from other refrigeration malfunctions.
